I honestly prefer when a man is visibly nervous. I think it’s cute, and it also makes me feel a little safer. Obv you shouldn’t fake that, but basically don’t worry about being nonchalant. But start up a conversation, be polite, and if she tells you no just leave, don’t linger. Usually trying to bring up a shared hobby/experience is good, if you share a class or smth. Otherwise compliments and stuff is nice. Obv, tho, not everyone is gonna react positively to the same thing.
Most girls are gonna be polite if they reject you. And also- if you approach a girl and they aren’t jiving- don’t think about it like you failed at approaching! It’s more likely you guys just aren’t compatible. If you have good intentions, you likely aren’t gonna come off as a creep.
