If you are like most single guys out there, then you probably are a little uneasy about approaching a woman you do not know. Approaching women who are complete strangers can be a tough thing for a guy to do, and because of this, most men either do not do it at all, or they start thinking that there must be some “secret” way to walk up to a woman and get her talking or get her number. The funny thing about it is, if you are searching for some secret way to walk up to a woman and WOW her in an instant, you are probably going to search FOREVER.

While there are many things that you can do that will have an almost universal appeal with women, not all women are exactly the same. Now, that might seem like a pretty obvious statement, but you might be surprised at how many guys end up thinking that there is one way that fits all women. There’s not. If you approach a woman the same way all of the time, it’s not like you are ever going to end up with a 100 percent success rate. That’s why you need to be able to adapt to situations, and read a woman, so that you can tell what she likes and what works on HER.

Here are a few tips on approaching women that will help you to get it right, even if there is no “right” way:

1. Before you walk on over to her, notice her mood.

Most people wear their heart on their sleeves, meaning, it’s kind of easy to tell what kind of a mood that they are in. This is important, because if you walk up to a woman when she is obviously having a bad day, you are not going to get the same reaction as you will when she is having a great day. Read her face, see how she is holding her body, see if she seems closed off. If she does, then you may even want to move on and forget about her.

2. Start off slow, just to get her talking.

It’s a lot easier to read a woman when you have her talking. Cold reading is mostly a shot in the dark, though there are some tricks that you can use to get most of your guesses right. Still, it is much easier to read a woman when she is comfortable with you and talking and letting herself open up to you. If you start off too fast, then there is a lot better chance that you will end up getting it wrong, and making the wrong moves at the wrong time.

3. Make sure that she sees that you are indeed confident in yourself.

Confidence is one of the most powerful things to attract women, but it has to come off being real and not like you are trying to fake it. Women have a much different way of responding to a confident guy than they do when they know that a guy is unsure of himself. When you come off as being unsure of yourself, she knows that she has the “power” in the situation and that is not always a good way to start things off.
