Navigating Public Approaches: Respectful or Outdated?

I’ve been reflecting on how social dynamics have shifted, especially when it comes to meeting people in everyday settings. With so much emphasis on dating apps and online interactions, I’m curious do you think it’s still appropriate for men to approach women in public places, like coffee shops or parks? I want to encourage confidence and connection, but I also worry about coming across as intrusive or making someone uncomfortable. What’s your take on striking that balance between being friendly and respectful of personal space? Have you had positive experiences with this, or do you think it’s better to stick to social events or digital platforms for making new connections?
