Hey everyone,

I have been approaching more and more over the past couple of months in an effort to overcome some anxieties and overall improve my social life. I am not a loaner or a loser with women but it is an aspect of my life I want to improve.

I'm a laid back person but pretty direct with my style of communication so I gravitate more towards direct openers vs. indirect...a time and a place for different styles but in this context I'm talking day game, not inside a shop.

If I stop someone to open them I will usually acknowledge the oddness of it very briefly and notice something unique about them. I'm working on transitioning but my question is how have you opened directly and expressed your interest without sounding needy?

I don't care if she rejects me but at the very least I want to convey I'd like to get to know her vs. I want her for sex.

Thanks everyone
