Cold approaching is just like any skill, and there’s a risk that comes with it.

If you learn how to drive, you could crash your car.

If you learn how to cook, you could burn or hurt yourself.

If you learn how to work out, you could hurt your muscles.

If you learn to cold approach, you could creep people out.

But you don’t INTENTIONALLY mean to do these things (at least I hope you don’t). It’s all the learning process, and you’re gonna make mistakes. The key is to learn from those mistakes.

I just hear a lot or people say that you should “never cold approach” and that you should just meet someone from school or work. Not saying it’s wrong to do that, but that’s like saying that you should just eat at a restaurant instead of learning how to cook or that you should just take public transportation instead of learning how to drive. You won’t get the results you want often and you’ll just take the best thing you have.

Cold approach is a skill, just like anything else.
