'Approach From the Underground' Blog Documents One Dude's Attempts to Pick Up Girls on the Subway

Everyone loves an underdog story, and Approach From the Underground definitely is one. It's a blog about a guy who's trying to overcome the awkwardness of asking girls out on a date by approaching some of the ladies he sees on his commute. So why does he weird me out so much?

The chips are definitely not stacked in his favor in terms of the likelihood of his getting a date (I mean, it's the IRL equivalent of "Saw ur pic, thot u looked hawt") -- and something about the username "asianreindeer" doesn't advertise the blogger's stud status -- but somewhere between his flowery descriptions of the women he's interested in and the actual audio recordings of him trying to pick them up (he hides a microphone somewhere on his person) things get a little too creepy for me to root him on.

Awkward nerd or borderline offensive? You be the judge.

I cringe for this guy. His top post, he immediately jumps right to, "do you realize we have the same color eyes?" No "hi" or anything. She laughs awkwardly and barely responds. Then his *immediate* next line is "Do you want to have coffee sometime?". At the very least, he needs to give the woman a few more sentences to "vet" him. Unless he's just working on talking to women and nothing else, this isn't the way to go about it.
