I,[23/M] never been in a relationship, followed your advice.

About 2 months ago, I made a post here about losing faith in finding love.
Basically you told me to just go out and talk to people. So I ditched the online dating and just...talked to lots of people. It was kinda awkward at first, but once I mustered up the balls to say hi, I found that people actually enjoyed talking to me. Even if it was cold like on the street or on the bus. I started to feel good and somehow women even started to approach me.
Eventually I asked women out and their responses were well, pleasant. Even if they said no, they were really flattered. Some said they would say yes but they have a BF ( I hope they didn't tell their BF that). We would share a laugh and we still say hi on the street. The takeaway is I spent a lot of my life waiting for the opportunity, but realized that women liked to be talked to and asked out as much as I do.
On my 4th or 5th girl, I got a yes and we had a 1st date. It was really nice and we're going on a 2nd one soon. It's really exciting for me. Even if it doesn't work out, it gives me hope for the future.
You don't know who I am and probably don't care, but I just want people to know your advice helped me during a time I was pretty sad and butthurt. Thanks :)
tl;dr: Couldn't get a date, frustrated. You gave me advice. Realized women wait and like to be asked out. Now I date.
