Hey, so I recently got into cold approaches (not very much, I think I've done like 15 in last 2 months, while having depression episode midtime), and in all recent cases girl were nice, and sometimes I managed to strike like 40 minutes conversation, but never clearly into me. And actually I felt okay with that, I was happy that I approached ( I know that even the pros have fairly low % success rate), I felt that we may not be a good fit so I didn't care much about the outcome and went on with a good mood.

Yesterday, when I was in cafe with my friend, I went to some alone sitting girl.
I think first 10 seconds were great, she was having a headphones on her, and I just told her I wanted to say hi. After a bit of talking when I saw that she is really nervous (and I had to ask her to speak louder, as I couldn't completely hear her - even if the cafe wasn't that noisy), but suddenly I felt really nervous too - I started to talk about some stupid shit, not listening to her and trying to move conversation in some interesting way. I think I was so off that I haven't even ask about her name lol, which I believe never happened to me before. There was a bit of silence at one point, and she looked at me meaningfully with a smile (she was smiling whole time), encouraging me to continue. She even complemented my socks (however insigntificant it may be). After some time, I told her that probably I should get back to my friend, and I would like to meet her again, but she said "maybe not right now, but it was really nice talk to you".

I think I managed to be in some point that I don't feel bad after having a rejection, if I see the girl is not really that much interested. But in this case, I really felt that the girl was into, and maybe completely panicked and screwed that. IDK, maybe I am not really ready right now for success. But I still feel like I'm going in right direction
