So I've managed my first maybe 6, 7 direct approaches. Im just building with baby steps obviously, but as of late I've been getting discouraged due to a couple fairly harsh rejections. I feel like modern discourse says not to talk to women unless they give u signs of interest first (in my case that would mean I'd be single forever lol). So realistically I wanna take action, just feel like I'd have to view women as 'under me' so to speak in order to not take constant rejection/standoffishness too seriously...
