An easy starter

Approaching women is scary.

Make it easy for yourself. Walk up to a woman, say 'Hi' and introduce yourself. Starting the conversation is easy. Maintaining it is less so.

However, you'll never find out unless you try.

Go ahead. Approach the next woman you see and introduce yourself. Make sure you smile. It matters what you say after that, but act as if it doesn't and say whatever you like.

Because you need to make a fool of yourself, at least a couple of times.
