How do you calm down quickly when you get nervous?

[Anonymous]

I don't have an issue talking to girls at all until I meet one I'm really attracted to. my heart started pounding. pretty sure my hands started sweating.. and it wasn't until half way into introducing myself. so I couldn't back out. my voice started shaking I think, too.

I don't have a method

I have a method

Yes, I do! Unless the issue is unresolved, then my angst will continue until the situation is resolved.

I remind myself it's not likely to work out anyways. You won't get nervous if you make you peace with the fact that it's going to fail anyways.

good advice NGL. but I normally only feel that confidence when I'm not in my hometown... or the area I walk around daily

I understand. I was a nervous guy till about 30. Once you get rejected enough you become numb to rejection (or you simply stop asking women). This may sound bad but it's good overall. Because it makes you able to deal with all aspects of women better. Because not only am I numb to rejection but I am numb to her feelings. Crocodile tears do not work on me, none of her shenanigans work on me.
You'll get there man.

I feel like I'm already there with most women. it's the ones I idealize I have a problem with

Yeah, you'll get to a point where you won't even do that anymore.

I'm nearly there. I just need more confidence

I don't really get nervous all that much anymore so I really couldn't say.

Breathing techniques work the best
