Original Reddit post

Yesterday I saw a post on Reddit about why guys don’t ask women out anymore. Some of the responses were insinuating that it’s creepy to cold approach a woman in public. The real way to get a relationship is to get to know her first. Have her like you and then things will work out. I’m about to be 40 and have never once been in friendly proximity to a woman. Of course work, school or medical appointments may offer that proximity but those to me are off limits. I’m not risking my job. In HS I was a big athlete and never was around girls. Frankly the other guys weren’t either. It’s not like you’d commonly see them in the hallways with ladies. In college I was studying. After college I was working. When I’m not working in sleeping or resting. So were you commonly in proximity to ladies or not? submitted by /u/pickledplumber
