So, my question is to anyone that has any input. I figure the Hopefuls and Models have some really good advice since the are likely approached or getting lots of attention both online and off. I am wondering what makes someone approaching you in public or online seem natural and not annoying or awkward.
Most of the time, it is still very hard for me to approach people and strike up conversations, especially with women that I am attracted to. Since I know most women are used to men approaching them, especially if those women are found to be highly attractive by a majority of people, it must get tiring and bothersome to be approached. Not only that, I'm sure people have to be on guard for ulterior motives or hidden intent. All of those things get in my head before I even think about talking to someone and it plays with my mind. Are there good ways to talk to someone that you are interested in without coming off as aggressive, insincere, awkward, creepy, or disingenuous? Clearly there are, but I just want to have the confidence to be the person I know that I am and hopefully grab someone's attention. I would gladly appreciate anyone that has something to say.
