My journey: https://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/comments/8o7jmm/i_did_my_first_cold_approach_and_it_was_fing/

So I approached again.

I went to the city. What I noticed was that just working the problem (walking around thinking of things to open with) helps. I get more comfortable with the idea and I am convincing myself that it is good to approach. So it isn't procrastinating.

What I also noticed was that I was much quicker to open this time. It only took about 15 minutes for to see an opportunity and to work up the courage.

It was at the bookstore. I want to work up to the point I can stop a girl in the street. But I am not there yet.

So I saw a nerdy chick with her friend. And she looked approachable. Her friend went off to look at some other section and I thought why the hell not. We were looking at psychology books. When we switched sides. I opened with: "If you stay on that side I stay on this side" She laughed.

I was much more relaxed this time! I let her speak. Was listening to her. Had some eyecontact and smiled. But I couldn't get a "I liked how you looked" thing in. So I went from direct to indirect game... Her friend joined us. I introduced myself to her and her friend. I made up an excuse I had to leave and asked if she would like to hang out some time.

She gave her number but I saw her expression , she was turning red and had some slip up already backing out.

I texted her the same night. She didn't respond. So I texted again after (2 days) saying I understood and that I knew I surprised her too much. And have a great summer.

After I got her number though. I felt so fucking happy. This is something you can actually do to meet women! No fucking dating your social circle or lame odds of dating online or trying to take women home in bars at 3 am.
