One Good Dating Tip: The 3 Reasons To Approach A Woman

There are 3 good reasons to approach a woman.  Pay particular attention to the ORDER I put these in, OK?

So, imagine you are on the subway, in a park, in the bookstore, wherever.  You are doing something OTHER than trolling for girls.  Here is why you should approach:

1) Rites Of Passage.  Approaching women takes balls.  And, if you have no balls, then approaching women GROWS them.  Every guy should know what it’s like to approach a woman.  Every guy should say “screw my ego”, and go for it – at least once.  Every guy should have the experience of not talking to someone, then deciding to make it happen, and then doing just that.  It helps you feel confident, and it shows you it’s OK to take up space in this world.  This is the most important reason to approach her, OK?

2) Practice Your Social Skills.  I mean, hey, you MIGHT just find yourself in a conversation after you approach her which would then make for some great social practice.  Nothing like a live scenario to work out the kinks.  Flirt some, tell a story or two, establish a commonality.  The only way to get good at socializing is to PRACTICE at it.  So, approaching a woman will give you a chance to do that.

3) You MIGHT Truly Connect With Her.  Unlikely.  Yeah, I said it – it is VERY unlikely that the hottie across the cafe is the woman of your dreams…BUT, hey, you never know, right?  So, sure, go for it.  But, the chances of you meeting the right woman for you via a cold approach are very, very, very slim.

Now, lets talk about the order of these…if #3 is actually #1 for YOU – you’re screwed.  If doing cold approaches is the best way you know how to meet women you aren’t doing this right.  Lifestyle and social circle are WAAAAY better my friend. 

Guys who are naturally successful with women, or just guys who have average success, meet women via friends and via their social circle.  Most lasting relationships happen this way too.  RARELY, do people truly come together via a cold approach – it’s the needle in a haystack. 

Oh, and having this as your #1 reason to approach makes you NEEDY…and, therefore, unattractive.  This is why PUAs seem to chase women for YEARS until they simply wear down.  Don’t be fooled.  It doesn’t work.

Instead, focus on lifestyle and social circle…that’s where the gold lies.  But, if you see a woman you want to meet, go for it!  Just don’t go thinking she’s “the one”…it’s a trap, one I strongly suggest you avoid.

  1. It is so true! When a guy approaches me “cold”, I often think he’s desperate. I also wonder how many times he does this. It’s different in a social setting, such as a pub. But, say if I’m at a coffee shop, does he sit there all day, wait, then pounce?
