Best [tips] for approaching a stranger?

[Imported]

Probably the question needs to be asked, if dating is so simple and so many of who lack success are "wrong" then why would there even be a need for apps like this...

 

This app sounds like it'd be ideal for me. Except for the part where it requires you to link it to your Facebook. I don't do social media, so this is not happening. Outside of that, I think it'd have really been a good asset for me to use.

 

Everyday I go out, everywhere I go, I see all sorts of women that are....looking. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Some of them are probably thinking negative things about me, some of them are just admiring and not wanting anything and occasionally some of them are obviously interested. And a lot of ......I think she is interested, but not really sure. Real or imagined, it doesn't matter. It's good for your ego.

 

I have no "game". All I ever do is say "hi" to them, smile and wing it from there. No lines, no fake charm or used car salesman charisma.

 

Even with the women I am pretty sure seem "obviously interested" and I am interested, I don't always go for it or took too long to think about it and the opportunity to even try is gone.

 

You don't need an app like this to date. Just like you don't need a car to get from point A to point B. You can just walk there. Or you can get an app like this.

 

I just wish I could put a couple pics on the app without linking it to anything else and filling in very basic information and not some life story or book about who I am or what I want and that instead of being 275 yards for profiles to appear to each other, it was 50 yards or less. I want eye's on her and her to have eyes on me. We both see each other physically in passing and she sees my profile pop up and can me or not.

 

People review that app poorly because you have to pay $$$ to use "charm". Which is where you can send a "charm" message to someone that has indicated no interest to you. I personally have no interest in doing that or being on the receiving end of that. I like the double blind idea better and that is free to use. I see her, she sees me. If we don't both each other, oh well.

So basically, anytime someone with the app is within 275 yards of you (GPS), they show up on your phone/app. If you them, they won't know unless they also you. So not like if you them and they don't you they'll even know, unless you "charm" them. I guess it's like Tinder, but more about meeting people that you see throughout your day to day activities.

 

Hopefully it catches on here. I think it's already been released for a while in Europe, so maybe some Euro's can give some insight on this. Really depends on other people also having the app and luckily I am currently living in a large city, so chances are good.

 

So this is what civilization has come to.

I am all too familiar with the above. Luckily I seem to have found some peace about simply letting go of dating, being single still keeps me awake but yes I agree an app like this may be useful. I am sure it will find its way to Africa in around, well 5 years maybe.

My best mate swears by having his 3 year old daughter with him. Apparently, women always talk to him when he's out with her.

 

So there you go: borrow a small child.
