I once approached a woman on a crowded train. This good looking woman was standing next to me so I tapped her on her shoulder to get her attention. As I did I noticed a bunch of eyes suddenly were on me- I didn't give a **** if they were tho. I talked to her for a bit but long story short, it went nowhere. She was polite but you could tell there was no interest and she didn't want to talk. I disengaged after a certain point and I remember when I had looked away from her there was this old ****er with a smirk on his face, he had found it humorous I obviously crashed and burned (lolol).
Here's the kicker though, had it not been for your comment, I wouldn't have remembered that story. That's how little I give a **** about it. We often and have often held ourselves back because of potentially hearing a "no" when it frankly doesn't even matter and will be forgotten in relatively short time.
The dude who looked at you and smirked, likely has never had the guts to approach a chick in his life. Haha
Personally rejection like your example doesn't both me.
What does bother me is, when I see a chick that I want to approach and she is wearing EARPHONES

I can understand the reservations people have about approaching women with headphones; it is often used a means of deterring most men but you can't let it discourage you.
If she is in a serious relationship there is little that can be done. Thing is there are a lot of single women use them for the same reason (lol). How do you tell the difference? You can't really, you just have to read the situation and go for it.
The one's that are single/don't have a bf, they don't know who they are going to come across when they walk out the door. It just might happen she'll come across a man who is her type; maybe you might be that guy. She thinks to herself "damn i'd like a piece of that guy". Her headphones would mean **** in this situation if you were perceptive enough to notice she's attracted to you and approach her.
I've done it a couple of times - the last time was in a place over here called Lummus park. I spotted her, thought she was good looking enough and blatantly checked her out. I made it pretty clear I was checking her out and I didn't give a ****. As we got close she gave me a big smile and looked down as we walked by each other. I saw her a little bit later because I had been walking around the park. I just walked up to her with a smile on my face and I asked her what she was listening to and I took one of her ear buds out and put it in my ear, nothing. I said you aren't listening to anything and she laughed and said she forgot to turn it on (lolol). She didn't know what she was doing, she was very nervous- she likely didn't think she'd see me again or that I would've done anything. **I never would've reached for the earbud had I not known I was already in, there was little guesswork involved. My approach would've been somewhat similar with a slight variation had she not flashed her pearly whites but I had detected interest**
