But sometimes I do wonder if a lot of modern media does guys a disservice when it comes to approaching women.
In anime far too often you have the women hurling themselves at the guys for some reason or other. I think if your plan is to wait until that happens, you're probably going to be a very lonely guy.
The other thing I see too much of is the ploy where you try to be her friend first, and then from there try to shift into being more. Now, we've all seen cases where that worked out. But more often I've seen that end in highly toxic situations that are awkward not just for the two people involved, but also for both people's network of friends. And that can poison the well when it comes to romance in the extended network of friends (i.e. you've not only blown it with her, but you may have also blown your chance with friends she might have tried to hook you up with or people that happen to know her.)
