Treat it like dating. (From a guy's POV:) Some girls you know you don't want to deal with, so you don't date them. Some girls are interesting, but you've never dated them before, so if you're feeling risky or ambitious, you try and see what happens. Some you know are your type, so you actively pursue them, but even then, they might not work out until you really get to know them. Bad Consequences? You can get a reputation of being promiscuous (or worse) if you handle things poorly. People can find out you're not a good kisser, you're not good in bed, you're unreliable, you're cheap, etc. Or they can find out that you're responsible, you try hard, you're willing to give it all you got, you're romantic, etc. The only risk I see is "is this girl worth my time to pursue?" There are 6 billion people in the world and only one you. Your time is limited, potential clients are not.
