A week ago I know I had posted a thread about seeking out an escort in order to break past some mental barriers and get my confidence back. I ended up deciding to cancel and felt that I needed to do some evaluation of how I've been approaching this. One thing that I realized was that in the past I was putting myself into situations where success with women would be very difficult and it was creating a pattern of chronic frustration and anger from essentially not having it ever line up for me. In the past the only avenues I really tried with no success were on dating apps/sites, bars/clubs and I tried 1 speed dating event. I was getting rejected by women who I felt no attraction to but made myself go out of my way to approach them at bars, etc. On tinder or dating sites I was getting no matches or only matched with women that were well into overweight territory. It was getting to the point where I wanted to just totally give up. As I've mentioned a million times on here, the repetitive thoughts were "why the hell is a man who is 6'4" and in better shape than any man these women have or ever will date or sleep with getting absolutely nothing?". I'm now aware that the environments I put myself into were essentially setting me up to fail and just causing this pattern to repeat over and over and over.
I've talked about gym approaches before but something that I've never really been able to figure out is how do you go about initiating an interaction with a woman in public? For instance, earlier today I was at the grocery store and saw a woman walk by that I found attractive and I was wondering how you go about initiating with someone like that in a way that isn't threatening or awkward. Last summer I was at a wal mart and this attractive woman with a nice body walked by and I made some comment about liking her outfit, she actually stopped and looked at me and said thanks but I couldn't think of what else to say and I just went about my day without lingering awkwardly. I feel like more normal environments like this I'd feel more comfortable and believe I could do better.
