I respect that there are always new people asking questions-- hey, it's a starting point that's as good as any.
Tactics and techniques can be helpful but remember these things just "float" on top of an already-fun-and-interesting personality.
You can't be some weirdo and expect some canned lines to work. On the other hand if you're smooth, you can make anything work.
That's why I'm always writing posts that say "hi" is the only real opener. Do you know how many ways you can say "hi"? Try it. Try saying "hi" like a jerk. Try saying it like a clown. Try saying it like a seducer. Try saying it like someone who just got punched in the stomach.
Try telling someone "I hate you" with the word "hi". Try telling someone "I love you" with the word "hi". Try telling someone "your shirt looks amazing" with the word "hi".
These things you're expressing here with a single word are called emotions. Emotions are the level on which you want to communicate. So try taking anything and having it mean anything.
I know sometimes women play games and test and do strange, illogical things. But the truth is that it's just not their fault. They are what they are: human beings. Different from men, yes. Annoying sometimes, yes. But they're not computer programs to be conquered and so long as you have that attitude you will never be a player.
People are always giving "newbie" missions like "go ask a random woman for her opinion". This is a dumb mission. The mission should be "go make a random woman FEEL GOOD." or "go make a random woman FEEL JEALOUS." or "go make a random woman FEEL SAD."
THINK. How would you do each of those? (I'm not saying you should necessarily do this to pick women up, it is just a mental exercise.) Say these out loud and try to get the emotion just right.
Feel Good: <deep, slow voice>: "Hi. <pause, slight smile> I want to tell you that you have a very... unique... style."
Feel Jealous: <everday voice> "Hey, you see that girl over there? She's really cute, don't you think? Don't you just wish you had her eyes? Seriously. Those are some enchanting eyes."
Feel Sad: <droopy voice> "Hey... you know, sometimes, in life, people just don't get what they want. Do you ever feel that way?"
Okay, maybe that's more pitiful than sad. Whatever. Emotion not words. Human beings not input-output systems.
