Outcome independence - you see a beautiful girl, something about her intrigues you and you become curious: I wonder what she's like? I wonder if we will have any chemistry? I'll go over and satisfy my curiosity - if we like each other, great, if we don't, who cares, it wasn't meant to be.
IDGAF - you see a beautiful girl, meh, who cares? I don't need anybody but myself to be happy.
Outcome independence is what we want, I think.
Although just to clarify, the intrigue/curiosity should lead you to going over and opening, but as you really aren't trying to get anything from the interaction other than satisfying your curiosity, she should still be the one seducing you. There shouldn't be scripting that then forces you to seduce her, or even meet her half way, imo.
I wonder if the meet-her-half scripting can cause confusion in terms of "Do I approach him? Or does he approach?" due to mixed signals/intentions.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.
