Lately I've been using what I call the "passing-notes" approach where I will walk up to a girl in a public place (often the gym), hand her a folded up note, make eye contact, smile, and walk away. The note usually says something like:

"Hi, I'm ____, I really like your (something other than her innate looks). I would like to get to know you. Let's get coffee."

It's actually been really successful in getting women to text HOWEVER what ends up happening is after 4-5 texts back and forth they disappear and I've had two say "Sorry, I'm not interested in you romantically." Which is fine but then WHY WOULD YOU TEXT ME?! It's got me very frustrated and I'm wondering if I should change anything or chalk it up to low sample size and keep taking shots on goal. About me: I am a 36 y/o cis/hetero male. 6'3 bodybuilder with what I firmly believe are DEAD AVERAGE looks. Like 5.5/10. Thanks for the feedback.
