I have asked on here about approaching a girl at the gym, and was told it is inappropriate to approach girls at the gym. I recently saw a guy ask about approaching a girl who works at a coffee shop, and he was told it was inappropriate to approach girls when they are working. Well, the funny thing is, nearly all the cute girls I come across in my daily life are either at the gym or working at restaurants, coffee shops, hookah bars, etc. that I go to. I don't do bars and clubs and I am not meeting girls through my small social circle. I don't do online dating because I believe most women who go online to meet men are looking for something serious. So what else is there? Are we just not meant to have options after we are out of school?

Also, I curious, what is so wrong about approaching a barista or a waitress? Yeah sure she might not like it if she isn't interested, but could the same thing be said for any woman anywhere? If I show interested in a girl within my social circle, wouldn't it also be awkward and uncomfortable if she doesn't like it?
