If you can't ask out random women, who are you gonna ask out? Someone you know? Someone you're friends with already? Do you have to know someone in order to ask them out? You're just asking them out, not for their hand in marriage. There's all these threads about why women don't approach and all, but if a man approaches it's creepy? I don't exactly advise to walk up and say "Hi! My name is whatever and I wanna go out with you". But I don't see anything wrong with asking random girls out. How else do you get a date? I've done it before and have gotten dates. I also sent a random message to a girl online on a non-dating site and wound up having a relationship that lasted over 5 years because of it. If they like you, they won't think it's creepy.
I've been over this ad nauseum. I think it's okay to go out with people you were friends with first and sometimes it works. But for it to have to be a requirement is beyond ridiculous. If I like someone, I ain't interested in being friends only. I'm also not interested in being her friend for 6 months or whatever time before FINALLY asking her out.
Huh? What was your secret? I tried doing that once on a non-dating site, and never got my message returned.

Haha this was back in 2003! I actually did this to a few girls and met about 4 of them. I think I sent like 10 messages, maybe 8 and got no replies from 4 or 6. Three of the girls I met, I wound up not liking much when we met in person and nothing became of those.
My main pickup line was "I think I know you from somewhere but not sure where?" Or something like that. This was on the social networking site "Friendster". Which was pre-MySpace and Facebook. I may have just gotten lucky. The line I used was lame and I would not use it these days. I guess I was afraid to be more open than that, I'm not afraid of that these days though.
What non-dating site are you using to send these messages?

It was on Facebook, and I only did it once.
You did it back in 2003, so not sure it'd work now approaching 2017 - lol.

Back on Friendster, you were able to browse people and if they were single. MySpace allowed you to browse by single also. Facebook does not. I wanted to try it again about 4 or 5 years ago but Facebook is a PITA and has no browsing feature on it.
The girls I was messaging were also 18-22 or so. Not sure if that led to more responses than maybe women in the 22+ range.
I hate Facebook the old early 2000's Myspace was completely superior to it. You cannot personalize your Facebook page to express your personality at all. That's just one reason MySpace was better for use as an OLD dating tool than Facebook. Facebook was just a money making machine for Zuckerberg.
Then apparently you need to make OTHER concessions, perhaps in addition to that! Or maybe your sample is too small...or maybe you sabotage yourself...or maybe your delivery is terrible...all those those things lower your odds so you either recognize that and adjust or get ready for a long wait. Didn't your parents tell you that life isn't fair?

I really preferred a lot of the features on Myspace to Facebook.
It was also MUCH easier to search for people on there and filter out. Like on Facebook, if someone has a common name and you're searching for them, they're very hard to find. With Myspace, it was much easier because if you knew their age and anywhere near where they lived, you could browse between the ages of whatever and search within 100 miles from wherever. You can't do any of that with Facebook.

Music was better on MySpace too since everyone had a music player on their page. If you had a a lot of friends with similar music interests you could go to their page and see what they had on their personal jukebox. It was also a good conversation starter for people you weren't already friends with.
