Stages in success at approach

[ksoileau]

Stage 0: You don't think women like to be approached.
Stage 1: You're afraid to approach, you see women you like but never approach for fear that something terrible will happen.
Stage 2: You learn that women won't be rude to you and their boyfriends will not suddenly appear and beat you up, but you're still nervous about it and frequently pass up opportunities.
Stage 3: You learn that approaching is fun, you do it more often but fail to close the deal by getting a number, or at least an email address.
Stage 4: Approaching becomes a hobby, something you look forward to doing and you get good enough at it that women sometimes offer their card or their number before you ask for it.
Stage 5: Approaching is no longer a hobby, you do it without thinking and get consistently good results.

Definitely stage 4, though it's taken me 6 years to get there! Although I think stage 4 should include YOU asking them for instant dates and phone numbers and you getting a yes most times.

There is a stage 5. When you give it up as a hobby, stop thinking about it and it all just happens naturally in the course of your day to day life.

In that case I would say I am at stage 5 as this stuff is a natural part of my life and who I am now.
