I will go put it into practise tonight! I may consult you for further advice! You seem very knowledgeable, and I really appreciate your input!!

What are your thoughts on going to a mall food court, coffee shop etc - and finding someone alone n just asking.if.you can join them?

I don't really live in a high traffic walking area where I could stop someone for directions. I live in metro Detroit - even though that would be a perfect thing for me to practise!
And other.hints or suggestions like your.ask for directions thing?

No matter how many times some tells you ... "if you approach a girl they will not slap, mace, or be creep by you". You think like you will creep her out will creep her out. But, don't worry I went through this phase when I started out. The problem is that your brain wants evidence that girls will not be creep out by you. This evidence is done by getting experience approaching girls.

So you have to desensitize yourself by approaching strangers until your brain gets enough evidence that it's ok to approach strangers.

So start small. Go to traffic area and start asking people for directions to starbucks. Start asking people for directions listen to music, on the phone ...

Do that a couple of times until you are comfortable...

Then increase the difficulty by saying, "Excuse me. Do you know where the nearest Starbucks is?" ... ask they explain the direction interrupt them and say. "To be honest. I don't really care where the nearest Starbucks is. I just thought you were cute and I just had to meet you."

Do that a couple of times until you are comfortable...

Then increase the difficulty by just removing the asking direction part and going direct.

Again your brain wants proof that it's okay to do this. When you start feeling relax and comfy approaching strangers and girls they will not be creep about you. This is only achieve through getting reference experience!

Your attitude is what needs work, as many guys gave you helpful feedback about.

Objectively, you have the kind of look that a lot of girls think is hot--the "strong, silent" type--so play to that type. Talk less, deadpan humor, that kind of thing.

And you're right--grow your hair back. Much better hair/beard combo in the second picture.

Appreciate all the help guys!

Lmao. Ya I miss my hair .... turns out I'm not as good a barber as I thought :p

Also, any other style tips?
Aside from definitely needing to grow out my hair/beard again.
Any other pointers?
I love style, love looking good. And it might not help my game necasarily - but knowing you look good makes you feel good. And all around that kinda comes out one way or another. Pretty sure I have my style down. But always looking for pointers n improvements!
