This is where the "not pursuing" thing counts. I think you need to get out of your own head and break the "approach" pattern of thinking. Do you talk to female wait staff in restaurants? Women who work in bookstores or grocery stores or the dry cleaners? I really think you need to try to think of interacting with women as interacting with PEOPLE (because we are). First and foremost, women are people.
Do you have guy friends? How did those relationships happen? Female friendships happen the same way, and if there's more there than friendship, it will probably just . . . happen.
