Very rarely do you get those negative knee jerk reactions unless you are doing something wrong.
Agreed. "Something wrong" also meaning verbal direct approaches which require no brains or elegance. As opposed to nonverbal direct approaches where she knows what's up but at least you're being normal and providing some mystery. But in the case that she does react this way, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Move on and embrace abundance.
I'm doing verbal direct approaches almost exclusively (saying hi, introducing myself, asking a couple normal questions before being funny/maybe a bit cocky and escalating)- maybe that's the problem. I've never heard of a non verbal direct approach. Can you explain, oceanx?
But I also wouldn't consider boredom or disinterest a knee jerk reaction. Are the two of you implying most women you talk to are interested in you? I would say 1 in 5 is interested in me to some extent and 1 in 10 is very interested.
Also, DJ_Z, I assure you I'm showered, fashionable but not overly so, and generally cover all the basics ( wearing deodorant, etc.) I'm no PUA but am def not an AFC who's approaching without deodorant.
