>rejection terrifies me
Because you haven't been rejected enough. You're literally SUPPOSED TO get rejected by like 9/10 (or more) girls if you're just some regular looking non-Chaddy bum, thus making rejection irrelevant/normalized to you. Desensitization by exposure. There's a saying that goes something like, if you've never been rejected it's because you aren't asking enough girls. Similarly like job hunting, expect to get rejected a lot at first because at the early stage of the game, of any game, you have no real bargaining power, so you're really just waiting for someone to give you a pity pass. Sad but big+true.

Nobody actually gets asked out. That shit only happens in movies.

But, like most other negative things, it's womens' fault. If they didn't make every guy paranoid about getting charged with rape or sexual harrassment with third wave feminism, then more guys would be confident to ask out the qt redhead girl they see in the poetry section looking at a copy of Yeats.

Most girls are indeed wishing that some Chad comes up to them out of the blue and asks them out. That's why they get all dolled up even going to bland places like the bank or the laundromat. But that ship has sailed.

Step aside nerds... I actually did hook up with a chick that I met at a bookstore...

First you gotta see if she's into you and if you're into her. If she's reading something you're obviously not into then move on and find a good book instead

If she's in the same section as you (lets say the clearance aisle) and she grabs something just ask her if she found anything good

If she says no and leaves it at that, she's not into you, move on. If she says yes, if she tells you more about what she found and seems excited about it, ask her questions and tell her about what you're looking for

Basically try to read the situation and don't make any weird, bold moves.

If you guys are talking for more than a couple minutes then that means there might be some chemistry there, ask her to go to the inevitable coffee shop next door since the book store is closing soon. that way you can sit down and talk.

Boom... ya welcome. Don't stalk chicks at bookstores and don't be weird... but good luck

The only problem with it imo is that it's normie tier. Like, when you have very specifically refined interests, which just so happen to be shit that no one you've ever met in real life is into, you have to kind of debase yourself to relate to the laybitch. I'm not expecting to walk into bookshops city wide and find a girl who's into theological treatises or epic thousand-year-old poetry. It can happen, sure, but the odds are stacked so unfathomably against you. It's unlikely to find a girl with patrician taste in regard to almost anything. And the ones that do have it might be ugly.

bold moves are the only way to go my friend. what you're advocating is better for a shy guy because the rejection won't sting with such a pussy ass approach. bookstores are good if you have anxiety about approaching girls because people will never be mean in that environment. it's always better to state your intentions of you want pussy. if you validation or to brag to your friends or /lit/ then you can chitty chat bullshit small talk with the girl. and going to the coffee shop next door? waste of fucking time. it's almost like you're writing a manual for how to get a female friend. have a plan when you're hitting on girls: either quick 5 min chat and get her # or take her to a bar/your place and close the deal.

a chick will talk to you for 30 mins but that doesn't mean your dick is getting wet. you're just slightly more entertaining than her smartphone atm. ALWAYS be bold.

np bro.

i will say though... that just because a chick reads books doesn't mean she's the chick for you. because even if she is smart as fuck and possibly artsy and possibly has a cute pixie cut doesn't mean she's emotionally stable or has her shit figured out or is wifeable.

i'm telling you now... there are a TON of beautiful women out in the world and you're missing out if you exclude them based on surface shit like hobbies and what books they're into. sometimes the deeper you go into your autistic hobbies the higher the risk of turning off cute, well-adjusted girls who will honestly make your life emotionally, physically, financially (srs), spiritually better.

yeah man I agree with that. wasn't trying to put you down but i was just offering a no bullshit method. when I first started killing my anxiety talking to chicks years ago, I exclusively used bookstores. it's like riding with training wheels on because no matter how anxious you are, girls are always nice. too many guys get bogged down over what to say and how not to sound awkward and how to get this one qt. chicks already know whether or not they will fuck you within seconds. being bold (telling them you find them attractive) gets them in or out and you know exactly where you stand within 5 secs of talking. guys try too hard with the "I hope she likes me!" attitude.

anyway, you're right. it's not the best approach for what guys here might be looking for.

girls don't get approached. that myth is one of the worst ones. women get checked out all the time, not approached. most chicks lead very mundane lives and will be happy if you walk up and hit on them if they find you attractive. a guy walking up to girl he doesn't know stone cold sober in broad daylight is extremely rare. but somehow there's this saying being thrown around that women get hit on everywhere. they do, in socially acceptable situations for that, like a bar or club. not in public settings.

sometimes i miss being single and letting the inner dog out, but i gotta say, being with a girl that i love for almost 4 years now has genuinely changed me as a person and i hope some of the lonelier guys here (i was one of you) can find someone right for them. and for the record, i didn't meet her at a bookstore.

I reread my initial post and it was really harsh btw lol. wasn't directing it at anyone particular...it's just that in these kinds of threads, people are not good to each other. even though some are being vulnerable and sincere. it's under the pretense of "how do I talk to this chick?" but everyone rips everyone and the word "weird" and "creep" is thrown all over the place. in today's climate, the vast majority of men will die ecstatic if "didn't get out of my comfort zone, didn't hit up girls I wanted to, but at least I wasn't a creep" is etched on their tombstone. it's much better to think the opposite before talking to a girl. think of yourself as the biggest creep in your city, picture the girl you're talking to bursting into laughter as soon as you open your mouth and start stuttering. really visualize this. the reality will never be this bad 99.99% of the time. you can get away with saying the most ridiculous offensive shit to girls and the most they'll do is make a weird face and walk away. that's it. they're the most non confrontational species on earth. just do something, say anything is my advice. like anything else, you have to fail and embarrass yourself and learn from that. if you're trying to get this one qt wearing a sundress reading Celine, you've already lost.

Imagine failing in the worst way possible and expect it. It wont happen and youll survive the person you will never ever see again

If you are someone who is morally against walking on snow because it disturbs the universe, then sure, you cant just walk up to someone while theyre reading. For everyone else, its fine, just ask what you want to ask

What are you reading
How do you like it
Do you want to get coffee sometime and talk about books? I dont really get to talk about x with anyone

I think most guys have no idea how much attention even the most passable girl gets, from all kind of guys.
I love my sister, she made up for her objective ugliness by being fun, witty, and down-to-earth. But she still get thirsty guys commenting/liking her every moves on instagram, inviting her for a drink, strangers being flirty or even asking her out on social medias.

Keep also in mind that since they get so much attention, even if you try to "stand out" by being bold, there as been dozens of idiots totally lacking self-awareness that tried that move in the past couple of months. Do your thing, but don't be afraid of being rejected because that WILL happen, because to them you're just yet another guy trying his luck. Be bold, but don't be delusional.

Last girl I asked out, I kinda knew her for some years and I know we share some interests but we lost contact after Uni. Decide to try being Chad, make my move on normiebook since I never see her anywhere and I work most of the day.

>Hey, X, are you in town?
>Yea, whats up?
>Would you come to bookstore Y I want to gift you a book?
>Oh, really? Sure I'll come. How did I deserve this bla bla?

She comes, I hand her the book we do some small talk and I try to sound like Chad. I try to form my question so I'm not really sounding like someone who is asking but like someone who is really confident that the answer can't be anything but yes.

>Come, lets go for a coffee?
>Um.. um.. yea, okay.

We talk for an hour or so about lit and philosophy, I take her home, shit was awesome. I wait for a few days trying to not give the impression that I'm a thirsty fag, which I am.

Send her a message today.

>Hey, I'm going to the art gallery today after work you wanna come with me?
>Oh, I can't today I have some visitors at home bla.
>No problem, I'll see you around.

So, am I fucked? I don't wanna pester her more and I think that she might contact me if she is interested in spending time with me. But I think I'm fucked. I sent her an article the other day and we wrote some messages but it was the whole my messages getting longer her messages getting shorter, you're boring me you fag, conversation.

tl;dr
Wanted to be Chad and just have someone to talk to about lit but probably spilled spaghetti.

Nah... I meant talking about lit and philosophy was awesome. When I said I took her home it was more of a literal translation from my language. I basically just escorted her to her home and did nothing much else. She thanked me for the book again and shook my hand. Which isn't really that strange since girls here a bit more conservative and especially she is a bit of a introvert.

Well that's the funny thing I noticed when I spent 3 months in the US a few years back.
I spent most of my time with guys my age (back then 19) and during the short time I was there I noticed
>3 instances of comparing penis in close circle
>2 naked wrestling battle royale
>countless naked showers "with the guys"
>1 guy masturbating in front of friends
All of which seemed perfectly normal to them, and they didn't really understand why I would be uncomfortable with that.
Yet they would seem almost offended when I mentionned the kissing on the cheek between guys thing.

>Keep also in mind that since they get so much attention, even if you try to "stand out" by being bold, there as been dozens of idiots totally lacking self-awareness that tried that move in the past couple of months.

if you stand out, you stand out. there's no trying. and if you're referring to approaching a girl in a bookstore or a similar place, nobody does that. not in the past couple of months, hardly ever. it's very very rare. after hooking up with a chick, ask them this and they will readily tell you themselves how rarely it happens.

>because to them you're just yet another guy trying his luck. Be bold, but don't be delusional.

this is true regardless of what "method" you use to meet girls though. whether you're talking to them irl, Facebook, insta, snapchat or the moon, you are always another guy trying his luck because it's a numbers game and being bold is playing to win. it's better every time to lean on the side of being too aggressive than too passive. the more aggressive and direct you are, the faster you weed out the boring duds and filter in girls who are glad to be with you.

They think courtship should happen through the women picking out the men they want to try from a line-up. Unfortunately for them this runs counter to basic female biology, so their whole shit is fucked up and no one should take them (feminists) seriously.

I usually hate making eye contact with strangers but lately I’ve just been leaving the house without my glasses so I’m pretty much blind then as I approach someone walking down the sidewalk or down a hallway it doesn’t matter because I can’t make out their eyes/face and they end up thinking Im staring into their souls when in reality I couldn’t even see them. I get a lot of head nods and a lot of people nervously looking down. Really brings out people’s true selves in a way, whereas I would always be the person looking down and away when approaching someone. But it doesn’t bother me now simply because I can’t physically see their actual eyes. Interesting stuff.
