like, even if you're socially awkward and freeze up when a pretty gal looks you in the eye, it's actually easy to have a pleasant conversation with a woman you've just met! how about this rain, I love those glasses frames, read any good books lately, etc. - not that hard! what makes it daunting?

the pressure you put on a conversation by treating it as a seduction tactic. it's not enough to have a nice interaction with someone you met, it has to be SO NICE and they have to be SO IMPRESSED that they want to see more of you & maybe even get in your pants. a friendly chat is treated as failure.

if you treat every conversation with any woman you meet in a social setting like it's a job interview for the position of Boyfriend, you're always gonna be stressed out. job interviews suck.
