If you having been trying to get a girlfriend, but find that every woman that you approach has been reacting negatively, it could be that you have been too confrontational. When women feel directly confronted by a stranger it sets off subconscious warning signals that will tell her that she needs to leave the situation. This will stop her from giving you her phone number or deciding to be your girlfriend.

Your first step to approaching a woman successfully is to realize what you are doing wrong and how those mistakes affect the woman you are trying to approach. Once you realize how you are making her uncomfortable, you can take steps to correct your behavior.

One of the first mistakes that men make when approaching a woman is to approach from the front. If you approach a woman in a direct line, from front to front, the first impression that she receives will be the sight of you striding towards her purposefully.

Men believe that approaching directly from the front shows confidence and straightforwardness, but it actually sets up a confrontation. When she sees you walking towards her she subconsciously recognizes this as a form of attack, which places her in a defensive position where she will be less receptive towards your advances.

To avoid this situation, always approach a woman from the side or a roughly 45 degree angle of her front. This allows her to register that you have approached, rather than being that creepy guy that just materialized behind her, but does not set up a conflict of presence.

Another mistake that men make is to get too close to a woman too soon. It’s important to understand that everyone has an invisible area around them known as personal space. When approaching a woman while trying to get a girlfriend, it’s important to only barely invade her personal space. If you go too far into her personal space or try to stay there for extended periods of time she will subconsciously register the encounter as a negative confrontation.

To prevent this, keep your full body at arms length or slightly further from her during the majority of the conversation. On occasion, lean forward for a moment, as though you did not quite hear the most recent thing said, before righting yourself. This momentary invasion of her personal space will allow you to judge her reactions to your proximity.

Remember to always keep an eye on the subconscious signals that she sends you. If she takes a step back without realizing it, you have moved too far into her personal space or stayed there too long. If she looks nervous or edgy, you may have done something wrong. Think over what was said and done during the conversation and how those actions or words could have been misinterpreted. Then you are able to learn what not to do the next time.

If you are aware of how your actions are registered on a subliminal level, you will begin to understand why women are reacting the way that they do. Knowing what went wrong will help you to approach woman more effectively in the future, which will increase your chances of getting a girlfriend.
