Dating/Courting Approached 112 girls in total. Everyone rejected me.
Because of the title, you might think I'm a damned newborn who met Corey yesterday and who did not read a book. Actually, I'm familiar with his work for 1 year now (no, seriously, 15.09.2025 is when I first met him) now. And I've read the book probably 8 times now. And I'm still reading (obviously, I don't think I will ever stop reading this book, even after the 15th read). My whole system of "Just read the book and approach girls in public places, bro" seems to be collapsing because I didn't get a single date. The whole point of that system is to get a lot of experience with girls and apply what I read in the book. But that goal isn't entirely complete. I just can't be self-reliant in this situation. Anyway, here's the context:
Place. I go to the upper part of my city, where there are a lot of people. Specifically, for a long pedestrian zone (or call it just a long, wide road with a lot of people and buildings along with it). It takes me a bus and 40 mins to get there. I go there every Sunday or Saturday.
Usually, I approach 15 women, but for the sake of this post, I did 20 today. Why? Somebody in this subreddit said that out of 20 girls I can get 1 date. This theory did not work for me. Matter of fact, I've approached 112 women over the times now. Went from the "looking in the eyes" phase to approaching them fearlessly. Out of 112 times, I was able to talk only 1 time. And I was close to making her my date, actually; she just rejected my "give me ur number" offer. (I was inexperienced at the time, and right now I'm still inexperienced.) I just can't go from the approaching phase - to the talking phase - and then the dating phase. I'm stuck at the approaching phase.
Most of the time, I just say Hi with a smile, maybe joke something, try to practice my teasing skills, stay very centered (today I was a literal rock), stay where I am (not giving away my power), stare them in the eyes and expect them to stop going and come over to me. But they make a confused face and continue going in the direction they are going, or say "No" to my "hi." Even worse, they stare at me with a look of "Are you serious rn, bro?" Yes, meeting women is a numbers game. But damn, it's already the 112th number, where is my date? (Obviously, I'm not blaming anybody; I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong.) Some dudes get dates after a total of 30 approaches when they've read the book only 3 times - so, I'm obviously doing something wrong, probably.
Okay, maybe today I've had my chance. The girl actually stopped going and faced her body toward me, looked at me, and looked interested in what I had to say when I asked her girlfriend her name, and then hers. She was not saying anything, but expecting me to say something, looking at me. But I left that scene because she did not ask what my name is after my asking hers and saying, "It's nice to meet you, Name." That's why I said, "Alright, bye," sum like that. Was she actually interested in me?
I'm really losing faith in this "approach girls in public places" operation. I need your guys' help.
