Outside of a few megamen here approaching and interacting with women is very difficult. I think it all comes down to confidence (not arrogance) and being comfortable with who you are. That alone can be extremely difficult for some, accepting you for you is a big step in damn near anything. I have no sage advice other than nothing ventured nothing gained and to always remember things are not so bad that they can't get worse.

The way I look at it anyone telling you they like you has to be a little flattering and make you feel good. No need to be rude and make them feel like an ass as I'm sure they had to work the courage up to approach in the first place. Of course there are exceptions.
I disagree. Like anything in life it's more about practice than innate abilities or confidence. You can be as confident as you want but if you don't have enough experience literally hardwired in your brain it will be difficult. The best way to get better at it is just trying over and over. The best pickup artists generally have the most rejections as well but don't care.

This is just ignorant. Women's brains are hardwired to naturally be more social and emotional, being aware of that doesn't make me a misogynist. I don't have any prejudice against women so awsome false accusation
