Gaming is low value behavior.

Anything that implies you went out to game is putting you in a unfavorable category. A 10/10 guy does not go out for the sole purpose of approaching.

What circumstances imply you're gaming? Being at a bar with no drink, bee lining across the bar to open a girl, being out alone.

All of this communicates that in a room full of people who showed up for alcohol, drugs, music and friends, you showed up because on some level, you have a scarcity of women.

On the other hand, having drinks out with friends and socially, spontaneously opening a girl who was already in conversational distance is much higher value.

Look, if you see a cute girl across the room, should you open her? Of course!

But if you can choose between having it look like...

... you went out because 20+ years of virginity has made you desparate and you're doing a 30 day Pick-Up challenge from the Internet and since the last 10 girls blew me off, you're my new target! OR

... you took your cool friends out for some drinks, you didn't even plan on approaching tonight, but this girl was exceptionally attractive and you decided to give her a chance.

The first option makes it clear you don't have crippling approach anxiety, which is still better than a lot of guys, but that's about the only good that can be said about it. The second option, however, damn near makes you look like a sexy man.

Do the girl a favor. Make it possible for her to tell herself that you're a stud guy without having to ignore umpteen overt signs that you're desperately looking. (Even if we are, we all are, long live the sex-crazed brotherhood of Seddit, imperfect as we may be.)
