One thing you need to keep in mind is proximity.
Think about it - if you RUN towards a girl (as if there is a shortage of women in the world) she could get A LITTLE creeped out and might think you're trying to attack her or rape her. I mean what would you do if a big guy that you've never seen before in your life started running towards you like a stampeding rhino? (Edit: Lol I didn't realize your username was rhino
)
It's really not as hard as you think. You're actually unconsciously MAKING it hard for yourself.
My first cold approach ever took me over 2 hours of walking up and down main street in the center of town. I paced that sidewalk probably 50 times back and forth and I couldn't find the balls to approach. Eventually I got some friends to help me out and I approached a set of two college girls in their 20s. It was really short too, the interaction only lasted like 30 seconds (I was fvcking anxious to get it over with.)
Anyway, these were the two hottest girls I've EVER talked to in MY LIFE.
Talk about success...and it only took me two hours.
A few months later when I tried another approach, I kept chickening out and finally when I saw a girl walking my way ahead of me, I said to my myself "This is it! It's now or never! I've done this before..."
This one didn't really seem to want to talk, but I stopped her and used my opener, then let her go because I was satisfied with my effort. This interaction lasted about 15 seconds.
I was a fvcking beast. I opened her with a sexy tone of voice and she gave me a big smile instantly and was almost at a loss for words.
This approach took me about 5 minutes total.
I went from taking 2 HOURS to ONLY 5 MINUTES!
You can totally do this too.
It's only as hard as you believe it is and once you realize how easy it really is, you'll believe it's easy and you will see TREMENDOUS SUCCESS.
It's YOUR time and YOUR effort that makes the difference.
Use them wisely.
