I've been struggling with depression for a long while myself, I always refused medication because I didn't want to go through life doped up. The month since I discovered Roosh's site has really helped me personally. My social anxiety was always a big part of it and realizing that I don't have to be "that guy" for the rest of my life was such a relief that I've been much happier since.
I was beating myself up for the first week or two when I'd let an obvious IOI or opportunity go, but one thing that Roosh said that really stuck and helped was to remember that any one girl doesn't matter. If you let one go because of bad timing or sloppy game there will always be another one so there's no need to sweat it.
As far as the wave being a bad idea, there are other possibilities that in retrospect I wish I had tried. The long distance "cheers" comes to mind, just keep eye contact and raise your glass. I think the idea is to let her know that not only do you see her that you recognize the connection you just made, cashing in on the IOI that was just made and making her more susceptible to an opener.

Appreciate your sincerity Chad. It is nice to talk to people who are in a similar position and have similar ambitions as myself, unlike some of my real life "friends" who I sometimes suspect thrive on other peoples shortcomings.
Yeah, I've also refused medication for the same reason. Don't blame people who take them though, I was rather close the last time. I agree Roosh's blog and forum have helped, it's been like a real turning point although I'm still far from where I want to be. A side affect of that is that I've become something of a misogynist, but I don't see this as a bad thing (on the contrary, as I soooo was one those guys putting the pussy on the pedestal before). Like you say, realising any one girl doesn't matter really is the cure - but I also need to act on that precise fact and just apporach like crazy.
