1. Not starting to cold approach sooner. When I moved to NYC earlier this year, I was taken aback by how poor the ratios were at bars and meetups, since I'd heard the opposite about this city. I fell into a phase of despair and withdrawal before I decided to get out of my comfort zone and approach everywhere, anytime.
2. After I became more comfortable with cold approaching, I started treating the subsequent interactions too mechanically instead of letting it flow naturally. Lost a couple of opportunities that way. Accumulated stress from work was probably a factor too.
100% co-signed. Rejections don't bother me anymore. I felt far worse after blowing opportunities where she was clearly interested, due to my own hesitation.
