I haven't been in a life situation for doing approaches for about a year now, but just earlier today there was an opportunity and without even thinking about it I struck up a conversation with this unknown girl, we talked for a while, and I got her email address. Totally easy peasy, no conscious effort involved. It just happens.

So this should be good encouragement to any of you at the stage where you're still working on approaches, because the good news is that once you've done it enough that it becomes natural to you, then after that point you'll never have to re-learn that skill again later even if you totally fall out of the sedu game for years. So put in the effort to make approaching into a completely natural manner that you interact with the world, and after that approaching will be a permanent totally natural behavior that's with you for life.
