Did I miss my shot?

I saw a Girl at Wembley Arena, 11pm last night.
I had intentions to approach her but nervousness held me back. If I did, I would have asked her if she has come alone but groups of people were within meters of her so I restrained.
I kept an eye on her whilst being on the phone.

Moments after, she got up and moved to inside the outlet to sit down.
I crept up behind. With slight hesitation, asked if she was single, she replied 'No'. I then gave a quick apology and walked off.

I feel as if had I approached her slightly differently or asked if she wanted to be my friend, I would have stood a chance.

Love should not have to be forced but at the same time I am desperate and it's hard to absorb feelings.

If anyone is wondering how to get a girl, look at what OP did then absolutely do not do that.
Wow
11pm at night, a girl alone in public after a concert (I assume?). You would get no one
You could've been drunk for all she knew. She probably wanted to go home and wasn't interested
Just everything about what you did was wrong

There were no events at Wembley Arena. She happened to be sat on the Bench on her phone.

At the end of the day, I tried. If I never approached her, I'd be frustrated and depressed.
This only builds my self confidence so I can go one better next time.

Could I have asked her if she's come alone?
Sorry dude but 1. that is completely the wrong way to go about approaching a girl. 2. You never had a shot because she wasn't single
If she’s not single, you never had a shot.

Again no.
Wrong way of going about it. Still a bit creepy tbh
If it were me I wouldn't feel comfortable

Girls sometimes say they are taken when they are not. It can be situation dependent- I would have said I was taken in the above scenario wether I was or wasn't

I’m scared to think what ‘one better’ on that would be
Lucky you didn't get a faceful of keys or something similar :tongue: If she'd startled easy and shouted for help you'd have been so screwed.

We were of similar looking age and same ethnic.

Revise my approach.

At the end of the day - If she were interested in me, she would have said she was single but she didn't.
It doesn't have to so much be for how I approached her.
I can ask for a Girls number and if she said no, she doesn't want Marriage or Kids.

Silly me, you're obviously one of those ages or ethnics where creeping up on strange women at night is part of the culture.

She was OK with me creeping up on her, still got rejected but forgiven.

The most good looking guy in the world could come up to me when I'm out by myself and asked me if I was single. I would have automatically said no in that scenario

In that case, would it have been easier to ask for her name and number?
