OP, I know guys like you (extremely nerdy, autistic, but coming from a good place) so I’ll give you some advice.

Don’t be too nice or complimentary.
Don’t be a simp.
Don’t put women on a pedestal.
Forget everything your Mum and Aunt told you about women.

OP, this site is your new best friend.

https://poshmark.com/

Sign up and go look for Travis Mathew polos. Buy whatever size fits you in a color you like.

Really dark denim is a neutral. Lighter colored shirts will work better with it, but you can pretty much pair those pants with any color... except for black.

OP, just open up to a meet over coffee and chat. Pick the time and place. Do NOT let them decide because they will drag their feet. Put them on the spot, and straight up demand an answer.

Try it with EVERYONE. You'll either get a straight up yes, or no, and you can move on. Sometimes you'll get the "I'm busy". That's just a polite "NO". Move on.

OP - do you do a follow + DM on insta or just DM? Because DM only goes to their requests folder and sometimes they have notifications turned off for those so they may never see that you sent something.

Why not send a follow?

No, I am sending most messages from my iPhone 14 Pro Max, but I send a few from the desktop as well (especially if I want a specific image from my PC or need to edit something using Snagit/Photoshop).

Thank you for the advice. I feel I too often come across as a wimp.

I thought a good template is:
- Introduce myself
- Say something that is a bit unique or a compliment
- Ask a question

I signed up. I searched for Travis Mathew polos; I see what you mean. I can buy those new instead though, perhaps on Amazon.

Yeah, I got it. No more entire dark outfits. I'll get a top or two, I promise. I'll show them off.

Last week, I asked a girl at the gym if I could have her number and she said she's seeing someone. I think you're right. I don't want to beat around the bush. Some of the texts you see are me just trying to get a response. Also, not all of these women are in my city, so it isn't as easy as meeting locally. I will definitely be direct in my IRL approach.

I've made the lazy error of just sending a follow or just sending a DM. I think you're right. I'm not trying to follow those who never reply to me, as I don't wanna blow up my feed with garbage, but I can always unfollow if I don't receive a reply.

I actually sent a message after getting my follow denied on a private profile (only sent a follow originally). She saw my message because I saw her as "In the Chat". She didn't reply to my message.

Semi-attractive women get dozens of compliments online per day. Do not cookie cutter compliment: you're pretty, gorgeous, blah blah.

You would be better off finding something you think she's interested in (profiles often reveal this), and striking up a convo on it. People always want to talk about stuff they're good at or interested in.

OP listen to me carefully I am one of the foremost authorities when it comes to chit like this srs

On the surface, you are trying waaay too hard. It’s sweet and cute but girls do not care too much for clever puns, or jestermaxxing in general. It’s gonna get you left on read / categorized with the desperate creepy dudes

All of this is multiplied by 1000x of they are not feeling you, not attracted to you

What do you look like facially, height, physique, money, and what do you do for a career etc need to maximize these aspects otherwise dating is going to be an uphill climb with weights strapped to both ankles and a chain holding you back. When a girl is feeling you she makes it easy.

This is not meant to discourage, I’m mirin the boldness. You gotta face reality first because you can move forward and progress

UPDATE:

I just got back from the gym. I saw the girl I've had a crush on for over 2 months there. I approached her and got to talking for a second between sets. I asked her for her number and she said, "Yes."

I feel so lucky. She said she's seen me here a lot; she said, "text me."

I am thinking I will text her in an hour or so, just letting her know it's me and wishing her a good night, then going from there.

I want to ask her out on a date.

I like that. That's the being unique part I need to start living up to. As an example, I've made women Christmas cards and birthday cards in Photoshop that include things they like.

I get what you mean. What I'm doing can be a bit cringe. I'm not super attractive, I suppose. I've been told I'm handsome by a few people within the past year or so. I am fairly lean still. I'm a legit 5'11" and currently 173 lbs. I was 145 lbs in late March of this year before I started going to the gym. I have a respectable (especially for this area) six figure salary. I work as an Analyst for a large tech company.

Thank you very much. I had to. Two weeks ago I had trouble sleeping for a few days in a row because I saw her at the gym and I had a good opportunity to approach her but didn't. She is definitely an interesting person. It's more than her looks. She has a positive aura to her. I love seeing her smile.

Thank you very much, sir.

Here's my opening text to her (I already sent it):
Hey [her name], it's [my name] from the gym. It was nice to finally meet you. What hobbies/activities do you enjoy doing aside from exercising at [gym name]?Hey [her name], it's [my name] from the gym. It was nice to finally meet you.

I kept it short and sweet. I also asked her a question about something I'm genuinely interested in knowing.
