Hell even if we did have perfect knowledge we would know that women find it attractive in itself if a guy will approach and based on the skill of that approach yea/nea or w/e happens, so even if we could read each-others minds there would still be the act of the effectiveness of your tactics and if you didn't play it right then things could still get awkward.
There's variance to life you know. In before anal-retentive attentiveness to how I used epistemic randomness.
