I'm 19, and I'm new to the pick up artists forums.
I've been working on my openers and approaches on women whenever I sense a good opportunity, but often I find myself thinking if approaching a girl in a certain setting or situation would just be inappropriate.
I read somewhere that coffee shops are a great place to meet women, however from my own experience, many women I have approached in coffee shops seems too into their own business, and generally not open to conversation with strangers. I'm sure this isn't the case for ALL women, but it seems as though it is a high percentage of them. Especially if they are older women, which I then to gravitate to.
I don't like missing out on opportunities to meet amazing women, but has anyone ever been in a situation where approaching a women at the certain place or time was just inappropriate for example see they have headphones on, with a someone else, studying, or generally doing something important?

Do you guys take the chance and go for it anyway?

Generally I don't approach women if they are interacting with others or if they are in a situation where I can't walk away after I get her number. (its ok if they are on the phone or listening to music). Once I asked a girl what she was listening too and it worked well.

I've heard good things about coffee shops as well... but I don't entertain them much because I'm not a big coffee drinker.

But any situation is good for an approach if you can walk away after. Its very important for you to be able to walk away for 3 reasons:

1. Its awkward to hang around her after you already have her number.
2. If she is rude you don't want to be stuck there to be embarrassed.
3. There are other women to meet and you don't want to waste too much time on one.

You must define the line between being an AFC and "justifying" not approaching a woman and one of the very very few times when NOT to.

The only time I don't is when

1. She's helping a customer

2. She's on her cell phone



Thats it.. other than that I approach.
