It's not a big deal or anything but I've been following this sub for a couple of years now and today something finally clicked after a small piece of advice was given on here.

As I was walking to catch the bus, a really pretty woman pulled up into a parking spot right as I was passing by. We looked at each other once, looked away, and looked back at each other but this time we both had huge smiles on our faces after ample eye contact. Right then and there, I knew I would have been extremely comfortable with approaching her. It was almost as if she gave me a que.

Unfortunately I had a time-sensitive mission to go meet a guy who was selling his 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX (sorry guys, but that is way more important than day game) so I didn't approach her. But I felt the biggest surge of confidence in a long time.

It wasn't that a cute girl smiled at me that was a big step, it was realizing that that is a huge indicator on gauging their immediate interest in you and ultimately your confidence in approaching that woman.

It made my day because I finally realized that establishing eye contact and smiling is like an intimate hug before the actual hug, and if she reciprocates it, you're fucking golden. Through all the shitty hook ups, random makeout sessions with girls that weren't even interested in me after sobriety, and the constant disappointment this is pretty big for me.

TL;DR I found a way to screen through bitches before I even talk to them.
