So it's been a little while since I've joined this site and read some of the material here about practicing approaching. Because I don't drink I haven't really gotten into "night game" again much at this point, but in the "affluent" suburb I live in there are a ton of women out and about running errands in the late afternoon and such.
I've been making it a goal to approach at least say, two or three women every day in anywhere from the early 20s to early 40s demographic while I'm out, even if perhaps any particular woman I might not be terribly attracted to, or conversely who I might feel is out of my league, or whatever. Even if she has a kid with her.
Examples:
In the supermarket dairy section walk up next to a woman browsing the items. Smile and say "Man. The low-fat milk situation certainly seems exciting here today." She laughed and we chatted for a few minutes about our food preferences.
Paying for some stuff at the gas station, in line ahead of me cashing in a couple scratch tickets there was a pretty cute hipster girl in her mid 20s maybe, though it looked like she suffered from what appeared to be a fairly mild skin condition on the upper part of her neck; eczema or psoriasis maybe. Stuff like that doesn't bother me terribly anymore.
The gas station clerk working was a dyed-hair dude about the same age as her with some forearm black and whites. She goes "Hey! I like your tattoos!" Dude was totally unreceptive and blew her off, muttering "uh, yeah. um, thanks" and going back to texting away on his phone.
I walk up to her a bit later as she's getting into her car. I "Damn. Tough crowd in there huh?" She rolled her eyes and laughed and said something like "I don't know that you can afford to be really mean when you work in a gas station" or something like that. We talked for a few minutes - I almost certainly should have gone for _something_ but as I'm kind of new to this I didn't know what to do or ask for to move things forward. Maybe someone could advise.
A fairly attractive woman in her mid to late 30s in line with me at the supermarket had a kid about one year old sitting in the shopping cart with her, doing that wide-eyed looking all around thing with mouth agape that little kids often do. Directed at him I said something like "I know buddy. It's a complicated situation. You'll figure it all out eventually, welcome to the world!" She laughed and gave me a huge smile.
Sort of chubby short girl pierced "gamer chick" in her 20s in the supermarket wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the logo of a video game on it that I recognized. I walked by her and smiled and said a well-known quote from the same game that I remembered.
She laughed extremely nervously, and looked at me with huge scared wild eyes as if I were a psychopath. It does seem to happen with that "type" sometimes.
