I’m new to cold approach and have committed to myself that I’ll talk to AT LEAST one new girl a day. Often more, but at least one.

Anyway, all that is to say I’m like a week into cold approach and something I’ve noticed is that a lot of the women I’ve approached seem scared / really caught off guard by me. I’m handsome but I’ve been told I am intimidating. I’m also pretty jacked at 200lbs 5’11. I assume this has something to do with it.

Anyway, when I approach a girl and she’s obviously caught off guard, my instinct is to abort the approach and tell them to have a nice day. I always walk away kicking myself for bailing, but I don’t know how to make them more comfortable.

Any advice?
