if you don't know a girl and she has never seen you social proofing. like if i was just walking opposite direction of her and i'm by myself. should i first make eye contact from from the begining or keep looking straight ahead and not acknowledging her until i'm right up next to her.

dont answer if:

-you dont have alot of experience
-your going to say im overthinking this
-your one of those pua's that say "just go out and say fuck it and bust on her blah blah blah"

In my experience its not good to hold eye contact too long with someone I never met when walking opposite directions pre-approach. I kinda felt like girls were getting creeped out when I looked at them for too long from a distance.

What works for me is if I'm walking and see someone I want to approach coming opposite direction, I keep her in peripheral without looking intently at her. I approach and begin eye contact right before we would pass each other, at a slight angle as I'm prepared to turn away and keep walking. I think this was the least akward approach for both of us in that situation.
