    If you mistook ‘don’t be creepy’ for ‘don’t approach women at all,’ then yeah. You’re probably in a mental place where you shouldn’t approach.

        Dating is a social activity. I’m not sure how you do it without being able to perform socially, but there’s probably resources out there to learn from.

      Given how a lot of women are, don’t be creepy does mean “don’t approach them at all. Unless I’m interested in you, which I won’t tell you because men have to make the first move”.

        That wasn’t my experience at all when dating. Just treat them like a person. Be friends. If you get on ok, then make your move. They often beat me to it.

        If the cold open approach isn’t working, change strategies.
