: I usually have no problem approaching women I’ve done plenty of cold approaches, so it’s not like I avoid it out of fear. But today I saw this cute nurse type woman at a café. She looked at me before she sat down, definitely clocked me, and I noticed the energy… but I was locked in doing my own thing, and honestly, I just didn’t feel like approaching.

And that got me thinking: Is it cool to just let a moment pass sometimes and go on with your day? Or is that a “missed opportunity” mindset?

I know consistency is key in dating and cold approaches, but I also feel like if I’ve already put in work that week, maybe I don’t need to chase every potential vibe, especially if I’m focused or not in a super social mood.

Curious what other guys think. When is it okay to just not make a move and how do you avoid feeling like you “missed your shot” afterward?
