I know this is for quality posts (meaning the pros only

) but I would like to say I had some similar questions to beach approach. I mean, the woman is there to get some sun, do some swimming, read, and enjoy the day. She is half naked, and sometimes really vulnerable.
If you approach at the wrong time (i.e. putting on lotion, laying down napping/not paying attention, with their top un-tied, even when she is swimming and doesn't expect someone to approach) you could blow the whole thing. Imagine trying to make an approach, and some how it works out that she is just coming up for air and you are standing there? Beach approaches can be really creepy.
But they can be really successful too. When women go out to clubs and bars, sometimes they are going out to "forget about blah blah blah." They could be in any sort of mood. A lot of times it is an obligation to go out and do something just because it is the night time and that is what people do.
The beach though....who goes to the beach when they are angry, or trying to forget about something? A lot of times I am a loner; I will go out and do things when I am pissy, but I have not gone to the beach ONCE without being in a giddy joyful mood. So you have that going, most women at the beach are really happy.
Forget the football playing "want to join" nonsense. That is American Pie and Fraternity shit. "WE," a collective group of those learning and practicing an ART, can come up with stuff better than that. My methods so far are no better than that, but those were cold approaches. We are no longer talking about cold approaches if you are scripting something
In the past I go for a single, which I am working on changing. Are you looking to go after set's or singles?
