Breaking the ice

How is the best way to go about approaching a woman who hangs out amongst a completely different social scene than I do? She looks, dresses and acts the part and I'm just a regular guy who probably isn't half as cool as the guys shes hangs around with.

Maybe she's just acting

We all "act" on the outside. It doesn't mean that's who she really is. These guys may look cool but it doesn't necessarily mean they care about or connect with her. If you like her then you should find a way to let her know (doesn't have to be explicit or in words). Who knows? She might also like you even though you don't have much in common or she may not care about you or like you in a romantic way. (Then if you really care about her, you would just let her go and accept friendship or whatever she's willing to give. Otherwise, you are just being selfish.) Besides, how much do you know about her? Is she the one or just a shiny new object? Just relax, be yourself, have fun... and let it be.

Ya tell me about it, I really like this phsycobilly girl but I feel like since I'm not into that myself my message is going to fall on deaf ears if I try. But that's just me making excuses because I'm a tad bit intimidated i think

If you approach it as though they're cooler than you, it's a lost cause from the word go.

Women are attracted to men with confidence. It is, understandably, like an aphrodisiac to them. They are also drawn to men who know themselves, and who wholeheartedly accept themselves even if they are different to other men, the 'cool' men. In fact that's even better. You are unique and offer her something she's not used to, which is exciting to her.

None of that means you shouldn't be nervous. You can be nervous because vulnerability is attractive, and some if not most women would find it endearing to a degree. It separates you from the players who she is probably surrounded by, and approached by, every day - you are real. Even more importantly, It shows her that even though you're nervous, you're approaching her anyway. She'll like that. ALL women would like that because it tells them you think she's special and worth the risk.

Showing nerves doesn't negate being confident. Nerves are a normal part of doing something that involves the possibility of failure, which in your case, simply means she doesn't show interest and you don't get to take her out. Disappointing but not exactly soul crushing, right!? On that - i think part of her potential attraction to you will also be in your attitude, which needs to come across as just a little indifferent. By that I mean it shows her that you're not going to be devastated by her rejection if that happens. That demonstrates a high level of self-worth, again, attractive.

It's all very subtle. When a guy approaches a woman successfully she isn't going through all of these things in her mind point-by-point as I've listed them out. It's an intuitive process for her. And it happens at lightening speed. Unless she's highly attuned and analytical, all she feels is an attraction. It's primal. You'll know pretty quick by way of her body language. Women are pros at signalling... touching her hair, exposing her neck, holding eye contact, smiling, whether she turns to face you... Again, it's primal. Try to pick up on it.

Having said all this, even if you were perfect in your approach, that doesn't necessarily translate into success. There are a thousand other reasons why she may not want to get to know you, or go out with you. Don't let it faze you. It's a brilliant dance that you improve on with practice. It fun! Good luck friend!

"Cool"...

Feb 6, 2016 at 1:24pm

I almost chortled when someone mistook me for being cool (once).

Best thing to do is talk to her.
You never know... she might just be interested in indigenous migration theories, parallel universes, drift racing, cigars, CliffClaven facts, blanket forts and distilleries...
What the hell is "cool" anymore?
You might be just her type... because her 'type' might have nothing to do with cool and everything to do with chemistry...
