Senior in high school. Getting tired of being alone all this time. I decide to search for advice, including this sub. I don't think I present myself as shy or whatever. I talk to people, and I don't think I crumble around women. But almost all advice is along the lines of approaching her after only looking at her before. I can't help but feel this is extremely creepy. Maybe I don't know a thing about women. Maybe it's because the area I live in which is kind of ghetto-ish and the girls are more defensive. Maybe it's because I consume too much media of sexual harassment allegations. But I can't help but feel that following most of this advice would get me stinky looks and downright embarrassment.

Are these feelings justified? Or am I worrying over nothing? I want to beleive the latter but I think in a subject like this, gut feeling is important.
