Backround Teenage Virgin. Got dumped quite some time ago destroyed confidence. 3 months a go Started Lifting Consistently, Meditating, Gaining Weight, Got a couple hobbies Regained confidence. Basically learned Discipline. Same Story as anyone getting their shit together. AA diffculties have been overcome though about a month ago.

Content After approaching and not really getting rejected by many girls in person. It seems I have run into a problem on the middle of the approach. I feel I go for the number close too early

Example Today to save gas I decided to run to the gym. On my way back I see a cute girl turn a corner as I am about to pass it. Having just yesterday been stunned at how little time I had to react after a girl entered my vision and walked past I realized why people use the three second rule.

Opener: Excuse me I thought you were cute and wanted to talk to you.(I'm Black so I like to polarize with manners)

Girl: Hi (Huge smile)

Me:I'm Houndcadio what's your name (Extends For Handshake)

Girl: I'm Queen Elizabeth [Jk] (Shakes Hand)

Me: How old are you?

Girl:I'm 16

Me: I'm 18 (I'm not i'm 17 no idea why I said that but corrected myself calmly)

Me: What school do you go to?

Her: Hogwarts [JK]

Me: Alright I gotta get home you should give me your number and we should get coffee sometime.

Her: I'll give you my snapchat do you have snapchat?

Me: Ya I do ( I felt I should have just said "If you're not interested It's fine")

Whilst exchanging I asked again if she was down for coffee and she said she is, but that doesn't mean much. we talked a little more while exchanging but after we said our goodbyes.

Conclusion is accepting anything but a number bad? I've done this other times pre-confidence and they didnt lead to anything but i didnt think about that in the moment. Yes I'm happy I can approach easily in split seconds but I feel I need some outside analysis. Should I have built more attraction? ill Update on if I get a date next week.
