Curious to compare notes with guys practicing cold approach and social circle game. Generally, I am using cold approach to collect acquaintances, friends, and romantic partners into my social funnel. The stronger connections are invited to events in my social circles. I belong to social circles at work, various gyms, and clubs. Generally, I don't see social circle as a good environment to hit on girls unless it's a social circle I'm willing to burn to the ground in the event that things go bad with the girl. I'm thinking that the best policy for getting girls from social circle is not by pursuing girls within the social circle, but accepting opportunities when girls in the social circle make it their own idea to pursue me, set me up with girls in their extended social network, or generally wing me when we're out and I'm approaching strangers.

So, cold approach for direct game where I pursue the girl, social circle for not pursuing girls directly but allowing them to pursue me, access girls in adjacent circles, and have a stable of wingwomen. Is this how you guys do it? Do you practice cold approach and social circle differently? Do you agree with generally friendzoning social circle girls unless they're serving themselves to you on a platter?
