Last weekend a dude confronted my mom at the casino, from what my mom told me the man's mannerisms were completely off from the beginning.

He was extremely blunt and lacked boundaries, following my mom and grandma super close, even in circles which at the time my mom actually laughed because it looked like something out of a scooby doo episode.

Well eventually they both found my grandmas boyfriend, unfortunately Dave "The cold approacher" was still closely by them both, like a lost puppy "My Mom's words not mine".

My grandmother's boyfriend now got introduced to Dave, which again my mom found hilarious at the time, just of how weird this guy was and how funny this situation was in general.

Dave never took a hint the entire time, even leaving and coming back to the casino again to tell my mom he needs a phone card for his phone...

At this point my mom wanted out as this was 12:30 at night and this dude wouldn't leave her alone. She had my grandmothers boyfriend escort to her vehicle.

Any feelings of this situation being funny have also taken a turn for the worst, my grandmother later called a week after and told us when they both went back into the casino after escorting my mom, Dave was watching my mom's vehicle through the lobby window.....

My mom goes to the casino all the time and has never seen or met this man before, his complete lack of boundaries, shame, embarrassment, among other things make this dude some sort of crazy.

This guy just ruins cold approaching for others. This might be a big reason why I've never got a compliment from a woman before, they would be afraid I take the compliment as sexual interest or something like that.

I totally get womans fear of dangerous men after this, this reconfirms that meeting through meetups and friends is the best bet barring college.

Not that every cold approacher is bad or anything, but imagine approaching a woman who has dealt with stuff like this in the past, giving her minor ptsd while she just wants to grab some coffee.

I believe cold approaching works best in places where women actually want to be met in this way.

For every thoughtful guy who just wants to find a friend or partner, there's a Dave.
