Has anyone here had good results through their social circle? I'm thinking about meeting women through friends — specifically, asking a friend to introduce me to someone. I've been failing at trying to practice cold approaches, and I have this friend who knows many women through his work. He's had a lot of luck there, though the women he's dated have had their red flags.

I’m also proud (or maybe stubborn) in the sense that I’ve never liked the idea of asking to be introduced to women, and I’ve never had a good experience with it. But I’m considering taking this step now. I believe it might help me break through this barrier. Maybe I’ve been lying to myself or making excuses, but I’m hopeful that this could help me become braver about meeting women in other situations too
