I have a goal to be dating in 6 months. I think this is incredibly fair since I am in a good place physically (gym), mentally, and financially. I am focusing on continuous improvement in all areas in my life.
I have only been on 3 OLD for the first half of the year. My friends say my standards are too high but I am working to improve my value on the market.
My current strategy is a mix of cold approaches, speed dating, Hinge, and attending social events or places (church, gym, run club, work if possible, other sports, coffee shops, Trader Joes/Costco, friends, warm messaging on Instagram). Cold approaches will go like this:
Eye contact/body language + approach
Make small talk for 1-2 minutes or so about the area around us, etc.
Be forward and tell her I saw her and thought she was attractive, ask for her number
If I get number, schedule a date
My goal is 100 approaches for the rest of the year. I figure if I am a shooter I will shoot, the worst that can happen is she says no thanks. I figure I will get a 3% success rate with cold approaches. After applying to over 60 jobs and getting a good one I realized it is a numbers game as long as you have close to baseline qualifications.
What else should I remove or add to my strategy?
