You know what RPGs are right? Think Final Fantasy. Well, one of the main cornerstones of an RPG is that as you fight battles, you gain experience points, and as you gain experience points, you gain levels, and your character becomes stronger in every aspect. Most RPG characters gain levels up to 99.
So what does this have to do with rejection? Simple, get some friends together, and here's how it works: You will all start at level 1. You will try to get phone numbers from attractive girls, be it at school, at the mall, whatever. You need 1 rejection to level up to 2. To reach level 3 you need two more rejections. You need three more to reach level 4, etc etc... and will end up needing 100 to go from level 99 to level 100. The point of needing REJECTIONS to gain levels, is that in this exercise, you make serious attempts to get phone numbers, but rejection runs the game. If you play this game, you will end up with more phone numbers and real life experience than you will know what to do with, and your confidence will get stronger, like an RPG character, and with all your experience in the dating world, your game will go through the roof. Even before you reach very high levels, you will be able to quit the game and end up having no fear of rejection.
If you go really hardcore and reach Level 99, you will have been rejected a whopping 5000 times. By this time, unless you are a complete moron, you will have gotten hundreds of numbers and sarged at loads and loads of locales. If you are a complete moron, you still will have gotten quite a few numbers. Your fear of confidence will be GONE, guaranteed.
What doing this with friends is for is to compete to see who can get a higher experience level faster, but at the same time you always want wingmen. You and your buddies, like I said, should go for the number (don't cheat and try to get rejected) in a serious manner (don't be afraid to try different approaches though), but rejection is how you gain experience. After all, in other games, guys with the most experience in getting rejected had names like Michael Jordan, Cy Young, and Abraham Lincoln.
[edit]Actually, this could also be done with fellow SoSuave posters. Find a buddy or multiple buddies who want to play, and compete with em to get to a higher experience level. Also report on how you're doing getting numbers.
