All the best naturals have problems with cold approaching.
I did when I first started and still kind of do. I get girls IOI'ing me like shit and even approaching me in clubs a lot of the time. I had already built my escalation skills because I'd had numerous girlfriends and fucked a good number of girls before I even discovered the community. So when I first started I was like "fuck this cold approach shit, it's stupid" and it felt like it was lowering my value. (and if you do it wrong, it does).
However, I've learnt to cold approach from a place of value now and as you'll see from my post "cold approach vs warm approach" I have come up with a way to gauge where I am on the scale before I make my moves to approach a girl. It's definitely helped a lot and increases my options now because I've also developed a pick up skillset and lifestyle aswell as my mindset.
In terms of your initial question OP, I really don't fully know how you could understand that level of pick up. I've tried to teach other guys my style of game numerous times and they just don't seem to 'get it'. It's because natural game is deeper than words, it is an intuitive understanding of girls and seducing them. It is most things that guys in the pick up community try to describe and talk about, all happening in the moment. That is the best way I can describe it. You just have 'it' and girls want 'it'.
There are so many subtle things going on when I'm 'on' that even I can't describe what I'm doing because I'm operating intuitively and I just know what to do. I walk into a venue and the universe seems to alter itself to fit what I want. Girls seem to pick up on this vibe too and it creates a snowball effect where every girl seems to want a piece of you.
You probably won't believe me, but I've had it where I was making out with one girl at a party one time, and I could just sense that this other girl across the room was wanting a piece of me. Once the other girl had gone home, the one who I sensed was attracted to me came over and made out with me within minutes and I went home with her that night.
