How do I gain the confidence to approach women in public?

by doing it over and over again till you are desensitized to rejection.
start with ugly/old/fat women.
Lift
If you are muscular you will be overall more confidant.
Or you could just realize that if she turns you down then there are zero repercussions so no matter what happens you will never be worse off than if you didn't approach her.

Let me ask it like this. When I see them, and I want to talk to them, I have a response of...what if she rejects me. how do I keep that little voice saying that, quiet.

Do you have any actual skills or talents worthy of someone's attention? If not, then go develop some or gtfo.

Approaching women in public makes you a creep.

This. Only fucking autistic fucks think that this behavior is acceptable. No one approaches women, that shit is tv fantasy. You only ask strangers out when you already have some common ground to work from. You don't randomly start shit or just walk over.

would writing poetry count? I can't help but feel girls would find that shit gay

Ha! Why fucking not? what if you see a hot girl and you don't have common ground sherlock? it doesn't fall out of the sky. "Hey, do you think my hair...." "Wow! you look just like [celebrity] ...." "Where can I find..." "I noticed your...." "Blablalbla starbucks..." anything at all works as long as it passes as unforced.

Don't write for women,
Don't lift for women,
Don't pick clothes, choose music, decorate room,
For women,
Rejection,
Rejection from the very thing that defines,
Will destroy,
Definition regardless of rejection,
Goes on.
