25M, only 3 lays in my life (with one girl, back in 2017), haven't gotten laid since. Had never done cold approach until yesterday. Ugly, babyfaced, and short (5'6" 127 lbs)

Went to Walmart. Spent about an hour roaming around trying to psych myself into going up to say hi to a girl. Pretending to look at items like an autist or something. Some girl walking by with her fuckboy grinned at me in passing and kinda gave me a nod like hey what's up, it kinda psyched me out so i thought fuck it. Still couldn't do it. Eventually realized undercover was tailing me since i'd been there over an hour doing nothing except roaming the store.

Left. Bounced to a different walmart. Saw a girl alone in an aisle, taller than me and skinny. Walked by her aisle twice which may have clued her in I'm weird. Then I counted down from 30 and just did it.

Me: hey

Her: hey

Me: Just wanted to say you're really cute. What's your name?

Her: i'm xx

Me: oh hey, i'm xx. you in college?

her: nah HS (she looked older tho)

Me: cool, you live around here?

her: yup

me: can i have your number?

her: nah not right now sorry

me: oh ok, have a good nite

After that since i had some momentum going i tried the same on a really pretty chick outside as i was leaving, she just laughed at me and said i had no game

then i went home and got drunk to cope with the overwhelming self hatred that i can't get a high schoolers number

but..i did it, now i just gotta keep approaching no matter how badly the shit they says hurt

conclusions?
