James, you are perfectly entitled to your opinion, and perhaps that strategy works for you. However, I know that if a guy tried that on me, I would most likely find him a little on the pushy side - as the tips you gave are right out of a sales manual. Confidence is GREAT, but I personally don't want to feel like I'm being cold called and forced/pressured into making a date that I would have to cancel later. It's my opinion that this approach might push away a lot of women - especially those who are "on the fence" about the guy who is calling. Anyway, this isn't to slam on you (so please don't interpret this as such), rather to give guys another perspective. Good luck, either way!
