I live in a small city (around 50,000 people, but half of them are religious so it makes it around 25,000).

I though that maybe I should skip cold approaching for now and do it only when neccessary (when I get signs from girls).

I have also thougth that maybe I should use indirect approach, again, when I am doing something, for example if a girl is standing near me at the mall. Socializing with everybody.

Generally, what do you think is the best to do? Is cold approach good? Should I do it? Maybe I should focus on myself and find women on the way? Even if I'll visit a big city.
