23 years old, virgin. Ive learned everything I could possibly need online and I now need advice as Im now starting cold approach for the first time. I want to take action and focus on day game mainly since i don't drink or party. This will be my first time going out just to approach. Ive been practicing the past two weeks anytime Im out doing errands striking conversations with people I come across from men to women. Although i'm trying to cold approach, after looking back at my past mistakes the women who've shown interest in me were either from school, meeting with friends, work or social gatherings. I think what helped me in those instances was being around these women for a consistent period of time, being comfortable in the environment and being similar in age, hobbies or goals . Its sad now that i see the amount of opportunities i've missed. But even then I don't want to rely on just being at the right place and time just to get a women. Thats why I want to approach.

My issue is how can I find places that I can consistently and comfortably go to practice. Also how do I approach them in public. When I see videos of guys walking up to girls in an open public area and blatantly hitting on them with a lot of people around I kind of worry about coming off as a creep. When i think of many people being their listening and watching I feel worried. My guess is this wouldn't be something to worry about during Night game. I think I will be fine I just need to be situationally aware. Like see if the person looks approachable such as are they busy , in a rush, on the phone, having a important conversation with somebody...etc. Let me know if i'm overthinking.

As for what to say i've found it easy the past weeks following this advice from someone in the community. Make an assumption, comment on a decision she's making, a situation she's in and a situation worth noting in the environment. Now my next objective once I get the conversation going is to escalate by throwing in a bit of flirting, teasing, slight kino throughout the conversation. I'll pull back if I sense any lack of engagement, banter, discomfort. If the conversation continues to decline ill end it on a good note. If it goes well or stays the same ill continue to apply pressure and try to close by exchanging numbers maybe going on a date right there idk. I think i'm above average in looks and my wardrobe could use some work but its solid.

Also I didn't come here to make any excuses even if i don't get the answers i'm looking for ill still go and do what I had planned. Just looking for some last minute tips so anyone who can help is much appreciated.

My questions are finding places to approach women for Day game to practice and how to approach women in a public setting especially if its a busy or crowded area? My plan was to approach at supermarkets, bookstores and maybe parks (i feel like this is a reach because i live in Wisconsin. Only parents and old people go their. Maybe the occasional jogger. Also it snows where im at and winter is coming). These aren't places i would go out my way to visit on a weekly basis but im doing it to practice so please give me good recommendations.
