Approaching Women: 6 Step Guide

Continued from Page 1
  1. She's So Uncomfortable - Guys often think that approaching a woman will make her feel uncomfortable, and more likely to label a guy as "bothersome", or something undesirable.

    This is false.

    Women like attention, and they enjoy it when a man expresses interest. Instead of rationalizing your decisions not to approach, you must overcome the fear of appearing as anything less than a human being showing interest. If you approach in the right way, you will hardly ever find a woman who is offended by it -- even if she's already attached.

  2. What's Your Sign? - One of the best things you can do within the first 5 seconds of approaching a woman, is to avoid using corny lines. We've all heard them, and if you continue to use them -- be aware that women have probably been exposed to them more times than they can count. If you already know a little about her, introduce yourself and go from there.

    For example, you want to approach a young lady (we'll call her 'Michelle') who works in an office in your building. You receive a company-wide email message stating that Michelle and a few co-workers are receiving an award for improving 3rd quarter earnings for their division. The next morning, you see her as she's walking into the building.

    See how simple that was? Now the rest is up to you.

    Use clear, but effective words to ask Michelle out on a date. If she's single, she will have a very difficult time saying "no".

  3. Be Yourself... Really! - It is extremely important that you do not put on a show when you're approaching a woman. If you do and the relationship grows, two things will happen: 1) The real "you" (good or bad) will eventually surface at some point; 2) The woman you've deceived into thinking you're the guy she met in the beginning, will eventually discover the real you (good or bad). If the chemistry you've developed during the first few impressions is based on the fake "you" -- the real "you" might not be someone she likes.
The whole concept of approaching women often causes fear in some men. This fear is based on the unknown response, and the fact that men hate to be embarrassed.

But realize that avoiding rejection is almost impossible. Every woman won't agree to go out with you, and that's okay. If one turns you down, get over it and move on.

Spending an extreme amount of time chasing after someone who doesn't want attention (or acts as if she doesn't want attention) -- isn't worth your time.
