a question kind of on a tangent to this: what is the DEFINITION of a cold approach. If a cold approach is independant of the venue, approaching ANY chick you don't know is a cold approach, whether it be at college, the mall or the club. That is, 90-95% of sets are cold approaches. or is the scope a little more narrowly defined?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Cold approaches do not work.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Good work getting experience. So what if they got two numbers, thats better than none. Like everyone else has been telling you, Experience > Reading Posts.
That's my understanding of the definition of a cold approach: It's independent of venue, she doesn't know you and you don't know her and what makes it a cold approach is there's no mutual friend introducing you..the last part is key.Originally posted by lebRambo

Check out my field report from the 4ht of July. I did 6 cold approaches and received 3 #s.
AC I resent that. I play halo with my friends all the time and still get plenty of azz.

No one gonna mention that this thread was started by someone who was just watching someone else approach.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Cold approaches do work. Be persistent as been said before its a numbers game. Dont go out looking to pull, go out looking to have fun. My intention is to make 10 girls smile tonight or somthing like that.

I've gotten numbers before with cold approaches so obviously they can work. It's a matter of having the right attitude.

seems like there's a "cold approaches don't work" thread once every one or two months...

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

they work, but i think how u look plays a big part in it, i cant' picture a scummy looking ugly dude walk up to a girl and throw some line like "wanna ****" or whatever and actually succeed, if you look your best and go up to every single one that your interested in one of them is bound to be that horny little skeez..........
