So I had a 5 hour break between classes so I decide to head out and do some approaches, mostly to help overcome my approach anxiety. Case in point, I ended up not opening several girls I was interested in until I forced myself to open this girl walking past me. Here's the conversation:
ME: Hey, do I know you?
HER: No don't think so.
ME: You didn't go to X High School? On the swim team?
HER: No...
(Awkward pause)
ME: Since we don't know each other, let's get to know one another. What's your name?
HER: Steph.
ME: Nice to meet you.
(I ask about her major and try to deep dive but she's not complying)
ME: So what do you have going on today?
HER: I'm actually on my way to soccer practice.
ME: Okay, I won't keep you but we should get together sometime.
HER: Oh, sure.
ME: We should exchange contact info.
HER: Well, my phone is broken but I'll give you my email.
(The email she gave me was a school-provided one so no way am I getting a date.)

So I think there's a lot of ways I went wrong here. I don't have my process down yet so that was part of it plus I totally forgot to give her my name. I think I skipped a lot of steps like getting to know her but I think her telling me she's on her way to practice shook me up. I didn't have a sexual vibe going either so now I have a few questions. There's some articles on here that mentioned that girls looking down or to the side is a sign of interest but almost every girl I walk by does this so I doubt that there're actually interested. Going out to meet girls this way in college doesn't seem to work too well but I don't know how to pull off social circle game. I'm thinking of joining a fraternity so that might help but what advice do any of you have for getting laid in college?
 
a good date brings a smile to your lips... and hers

Jack,

Good for you for overcoming your anxiety! The anxiety will go away as you approach more.

This approach you went indirect. That's easier when you have a lot of anxiety. But she was confused about your intentions - did you want to bang her? Just want a new friend? Are you actually a network marketer? Who knows? You haven't made your sexual intention clear.

So once you can, go direct ("Hey, I found you cute so I wanted to come meet you").

After that, start working on your banter and teasing. That humour gets rid of that feeling that you two are strangers. It gets that sexual spark started. And after that, start working on your "getting to know her" conversation. That emotional connection will make it easier to meet up again later.

Well done on your approach, here's to even more!

Nick
