Approaching Women: 10 Techniques for Introverts
These 10 tips for approaching women are a great launching pad for developing your approach skills!
Before we share the list, remember these are skills. And any skill takes time as you build confidence in what you’re doing, practice, reflect, modify, and keep improving!
Without further ado, these are 10 of the most effective techniques for introverts wondering about approaching a woman for the first time:
(1) Cultivate a warm, human-to-human interaction.
When you bring your full humanity into the way you relate, you make it more comfortable for others to be themselves. This creates an authentic, natural connection!
(2) Notice who you feel naturally drawn to as you walk into a room.
Their energy attracts you for a reason, whether their behavior makes you smile or earns your respect. Follow that magnetic pull!
(3) Make your way toward women you’re interested in (boldly, not aggressively!).
If you never try, you’ll never know!
(4) Get in her line of sight and make flirtatious eye contact, if possible.
This can be as simple as a brief glance with a sincere smile before looking away.
(5) Say something to her to start the conversation!
Instead of putting too much pressure on yourself, cultivate a mindset of curiosity. You can even think of it like gathering data to reflect on later!
(6) See how she reacts to gentle, playful touch.
If she reciprocates, great! If she retracts, don’t worry. Different people prefer different paces when it comes to touch.
(7) Maintain a strong sense of confidence no matter what happens.

(9) Point out something you notice or admire about her.
Everybody loves a genuine compliment! It’s an easy way to diffuse tension and create an amiable connection.
(10) Recognize and process any social anxiety that comes up as you hold tightly to your identity.
Come prepared with a coping technique or two, and remember – it’s totally normal to feel a bit nervous when approaching a woman for the first time.
