			The approach is the start of [[Game (seduction)\|game]], not the whole art. [[Attractiveness fundamentals]] make it cheaper. They do not replace it.

			== History ==
			Printed how-tos from [[Eric Weber]] (1970) already treated the street and the bar as places you walk up, not places you wait.<ref name="weber">{{cite book \|last=Weber \|first=Eric \|title=How to Pick Up Girls! \|publisher=Symphony Press \|year=1970}}</ref> [[alt.seduction.fast]] field reports made volume a virtue: Strauss describes a student who ran 125 approaches in a day.<ref name="game">{{cite book \|last=Strauss \|first=Neil \|title=The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists \|publisher=ReganBooks \|year=2005 \|isbn=0-06-055473-8 \|page=298}}</ref>

			[[Mystery Method]] treated the approach as opening a [[set (pickup)\|set]] — often a two-set or three-set in a club — with an [[opener (pickup)\|opener]], frequently indirect, often with a [[false time constraint]] so the group would not bolt.<ref name="mm" /> Later [[daygame]] made the same job a daylight street stop: genuine interest, stated, then a conversation or a walk-on. 2010s writing kept the walk-up and dumped the stacked opener as the default.

			== Method ==
	Beginner drills often grade it: observation and body first, then "hi," then a real [[direct game\|direct]] open, then a number.		Beginner drills often grade it: observation and body first, then "hi," then a real [[direct game\|direct]] open, then a number.

			== Other schools ==
			'''Mystery-era.''' Open the set, not only the target. Give the friends a reason not to eject you. Isolate later. The diagnostics ([[IOI]], [[IOD]]) tell you whether to stay.

			'''London [[daygame]].''' The stop is the approach. Twenty seconds of no hook and you walk. Street calibration is colder and faster than club calibration.

	~~== Street cold approach, four stages ==~~		'''Natural / RSD.''' "Just go up congruent." Useful if you already have a self. Useless as an excuse to skip the first ten awkward reps.
	~~One later writeup described the inner arc a man actually lives, from never walking~~ up ~~to doing it as a habit~~. ~~The point: outer game follows~~ a ~~decision, and the decision is proven only in action~~. ~~The [[Newbie assignment]] is~~ the ~~beginner form of that loop~~.

Waiting for an [[approach invitation]] on a Tuesday sidewalk. Running a canned opener you cannot leave. Number-farming without a conversation. Treating a blowout as a referendum on your life rather than a data point. The inner arc of a man who actually approaches is: never walking up → doing it as a habit. Outer game follows a decision. The decision is proven only in action.
