Honestly, dude, women are pretty much just like men, minus the dick (in most cases) and they might think
a little differently about certain things. As long as you?re not a prick, you should be fine. The fact that you?re conscious about not offending them means you probably won?t. Most women are the kind of rabid radicals that will slap you in the face if you so much as pay them a polite compliment about their appearance; worst-case scenario is they?ll awkwardly say, ?Um?thanks? and walk away.
Of course, if you touch them on the arse or repeatedly ask them out after they?ve already said ?No? or say unprofessional things like ?Please let me cum on your tits?, then yeah, that?s grounds for sexual harassment and it?s something you shouldn?t say to anyone that isn?t your girlfriend or a close friend you know will be alright with you saying that stuff.
Women are at least half the population; you?re going to have to talk to them, whether you like it or not. I know how it is; I mostly stumble through my social interactions with women and, 95% of the time, I?m faking confidence when talking to girls that I don?t have a certain level of friendship with. I?ve asked a few out in the past, and they?ve rejected me. That happens, because that?s life. Eventually, they?ll probably be one that actually sees something in me and says ?Yes?, but I won?t happen if I just sit by myself twiddling my fingers about it. It?s easier said than done, I know, but sometimes you just have to face your fears and go for it.

From what I have read from feminism, this is not okay and is harassing women.
Feminism? Maybe certain factions of the radical feminist movement (who are in the minority, by the way; most are pretty liberal whose only real concerns are along legislative lines, like the wage gap and equal representation and political blah-de-blah), but even a lot of
those gals have boyfriends who somehow don't repulse them enough to cut their dicks off.
If you stop worrying about what you're meant to say and how you're meant to act around people like there's some kind of rulebook for this kind of stuff (sure, there's some unwritten social etiquette everyone's meant to abide by if they don't want to be arrested or at least considered rude, but most everyone who's grown up in civilisation knows that and the ones that don't are the heavily-sheltered or the very mentally ill), you'll be fine. Don't listen to what some armchair sociologist blogging about Princess Peach or some shit has to say about
your life and what
they think is "appropriate behaviour". They're not an expert. They're not an anthropologist. They should be
nothing to you because you don't know each other and therefore they don't affect your life.
