i used to be against that cold approach shyt until last summer.
Mind you i recently got off a 6 year relationship. One evening i was bored at home waiting for somebody to send me wav files of a project im working on, so i decided to get in the whip, ride through the city and find a girl to smash.
I parked my whip, and started walking in the streets enjoying the sunset when i saw a beautiful black girl texting somebody, i said
:" hey im still waiting on that text you know"
she smiled, asked her name and what was her plans for the next hour. She said "well i'm......and i interrupted her and said you're coming with me"
we went to a bar, had a few drinks, went back to her crib. we smashed and i bounced.
never heard from her again, didnt even want to ask her number.
i guess im trying to say that cold approach can be very very effective if you dont think too much, you gotta have a nice mouthpiece though and be witty and fun i guess but thats really all it takes. And i'm an average looking nicca.
