Approach competition - who can do the most approaches?

[lyamdb]

Today I say this HB6 on the street. We glanced at each other. after that she kept walking and she was smiling! I don't know maybe she sensed my nervousness and that I liked her. anyway I decided to go after her.
Me:Hey lady
Her:Hi
Me:How you doing?
Her: (smiling) Good thanks.
Me:May I walk with you a bit?
Her:Na I don't feel like I'm in the mood.
Me:Why not?
Her:I don't know.
Me:Ok give me your number I'll call you later.
Her: (Smiling and with a friendly tone) No I won't! (she said it in a way that I became certain I'll #close with her! and from here on the conversation goes with a friendly and funny vibe)
Me:Yeap, you will! I'll call you and cheer you up!
Her:I won't!
Me:When I like somebody, its not right if just walk away. No its not right.
Her:How can you like me just after a simple glance? isn't it too quick?
Me:You under estimate faces. don't you know that the the entire personality glows out of eyes? don't you know that its possible to read in your eyes who you really are just within 30 seconds?
Her:So you read faces? what do you read in my face?
Me:I won't tell you now. what can you from my face?
Her: (looking deep into my eyes for a few seconds) Nothing!
Blah Blah. I talked to her for like 5 minutes and I got the number. anyway I count the # close as a bonus. right now I'm just working on my approach anxiety.

Even though it practically sucked today, I still count myself as victorious! cuz although I was on the verge of giving it up, I didn't. and I did what I was supposed to do. It was a crowded place where there were plenty of HB8+. Now this is a double trouble for me. first, I'm more comfortable with HB6 and 7s. and second, I desperately need my target to be in a somehow isolated spot so that people won't notice I'm trying to approach her. anyway, I did two approaches. the first one goes like this:
Me:Excuse me lady...
Her: (Looking at me, not shocked, not interested, not disrispectful)
Me:May I talk to you for a few seconds?
Her:No, Sorry.
Me:Ok. bye.(walked away.)
*********
and the second one:
Me:Hi there
Her: Hi
Me: (Looking very insecure and desperate and shy and unexperienced) You doing good cutie?
Her: (turned her back to me, waiting for me to leave!)
**************************
that was it. I did approach two girls, both HB7s, and I felt good afterwards. This is all that counts. And I learned something today. Its better to have some memorized lines for such moments of extreme anxiety. I used to hate PU lines because I believed, and still believe, that they eliminate spontaneouty. But I shouldn't expect myself to be spontaneous all the time. not yet! First I must reach a point where I can be comfortable in the field.
The funny part is that I recieved like 5 very hot eye contacts, but I was too chicken sh!t to go after any of them. they just added to my anxiety!

Fine, you have a head-start, but when I'm ready, I'm going to jet right past you.

I feel stupid bombing this thread with my reports while no one else is participating. so I'm stopping posting here. until atleast there is one more person participating. not that I'm a competition jerk. it just feels like I'm shouting into empty space.
Anyway I'm not giving up practicing. I did 4 approaches today.

 

[Luke Skywalker]

3 approaches made today as follows:

- Social event at office - barbeque. No-brainer approaches - after all, unless someone has a problem (or they wouldn't be there in the first place), everyone wants to meet new people at the office. That should allow the confidence to approach anyone without much hesitation, and most people are in groups, and most people are friendly enough to include you in if you look lost.

My sticking point - Did not approach everyone, just did a few approaches just to get my feet wet. Feel obligated to hang around people even if I dont want to hang around them and move on to meet other people - some psychological bug. The most attractive girl was approached - at least - and another girl who was just interesting to talk to.

FIELD-REPORT OF APPROACHES.

Went to an empty table where this girl, her friend and another girl was sitting down and started talking with them. This was accomplished by mainly asking her questions about herself and getting her to talk -- and she seemed to be an interesting person who into making movies - but is working at this office temporarily to work on her 'graphic design'. Another woman was there to talk to as well, where I alternate chatting between her and the other one.
The other woman was like 50 y/o and is married with children, but I was not uncomfortable at all talking with her so it sort of diffused things a bit.

Went to a set with a guy and two girls, and just introduced myself. The hb9 looked exotic, so I commented that she looked exotic and tried to guess where she was from.

Incidentally, I think this is a brilliant opener for some exotic chicks - you go up to them and say - 'you really look exotic, let me guess where you are from - ' then make three guesses - seems like a cool opener, especially if I'm into that type of style.

TWO MORE APPROACHES TODAY;

This time I approached store clerk women -- I deliberately looked for exotic looking girls....but the funny thing is, I couldn't use them abruptly.

I ended up approaching them with the excuse of whatever they were doing, for example, if she was a sampler, I'd try some of the samples out and pretend to be interested, or if she was in a cooking class, I'd pretend to be interested in cooking and ask for more information.

While this type of approach is not a real approach in and of itself without some sort of 'expression' of interest - I did manage to do the line: 'you look exotic, wait, let me guess where you are from, is it xyz?'

I did it with two of the gals.

I was so shy with the first one on it - I guessed where she was from (Guyana), and joked about how I figured it out with her accent, then said "ok, I'll dissappear" and walked away. I then meet her again, and she smiled a friendly way while I passed her and I smiled back. I saw her again looking at some clothes and I turned and walked the other way worrying what I would do if I saw her again.

Maybe she wanted me to talk to her again subconciously, maybe that's why I kept bumping into her, maybe she even wants me, well, how would I know, I didn't intend to go for the kill today.

The second girl was an exotic Indian in the cooking class room, did that line with her (after feining interest in joining the cooking class and wanting more information), and she said she was from 'India', but there was this look on her face it's like --- she didn't expect that coming.

My mom was outside and was freaking out laughing, and said she likes me approaching girls.

2 more girls, total of 5 girls approached today.

9 uncontestable approaches I've made so far.

There are more that I have, but people have contested the validity of them, so I only put down what I have under my belt. People can review this thread to confirm my score thus far.

Remember Luke, they know exactly what you're up to.

10th approach today.

Bank teller who looked exotic - used the exotic opener - "say you look exotic, let me guess where you are from? ' After a few guesses I guessed Granada and was correct. I could have continued and said "can you guess where I'm from?" but waited for her to ask (which she never did) as I thought if she continued with the convo that would be an IOI - so I didn't press it too much.

Like the exotic opener because I really dig exotic chicks, and think this is a great way to open them - so I think this element of the game is almost handled.

Except, all of the people I opened so far were hired guns - it's a great practise with that style of opener, and but still have yet to practise it on people who are in the public and just approach them with that opener.

Congrats you're doing great. man i'm up for this its just that I have to pass these ****ing university exams. after that, I'll be at your service, full time!! just gimme this week.

 

[lyamdb]

Luke, shall we resume this :box: ?
I suggest to compete also on the number of daily approaches. It has many benefits. First, it gives more motivation. If the number of daily approaches aren't counted, one can always say ok I'll catch him later.
Second, it gets more people to participate. Some guys might get in just for 1 day. and this will help the thread. This threat is really worth to become the most active thread of this forum. And it will last very long and help many. Lets help ourselves man.
You up?
:cheer:

 

[lyamdb]

This post is just to keep the thread on top page a bit more. anyone ready?
come on guys.

 

[Luke Skywalker]

I'm still on to this.

 

[On Point]

I'm no expert here, but let pass on some things.

Don't start with passive language like "excuse me". Eye contact and a hi would be stronger.

Don't compliment them right off the bat. This makes you seem like every other guy. Better to make them earn compliments.

Avoid asking permission "May I walk with you?". You'd be better off with something C&F or a neg for the really pretty ones.

ME: "excuse me miss"
HB7: (turned her head towards me. )
Me: "hey beautiful"
HB7: (giving me a serious as hell look) Excuse me?
Me:How are you doing?
Her:Thanks.
Me: May I walk with you a few steps? talk to you a bit?
HB7: No.

I just read your entire journal. you're doing great. Oh, and you're right. my approaches aren't so decent and I hear your points. But sometimes I get so nervous I can't really find things to say. I think I'll naturally improve if I just keep approaching long enough.

 

[lyamdb]

Ok I did two cold approaches today. It wasn't so cool, just the routine Hi... Excuse me.. May I... stuff. But at least I broke my ices again, after about 2 weeks of not approaching. I'll try to be more imaginative tomorrow.

 

[On Point]

Try and read some other guy's journals to get approach ideas, or read fingers weapons of mass seduction e-book for some ideas. That "excuse me may i" opener is holding you back. You're giving them too many opportunities to shut you down, you need to get them talking somehow.

Maybe try an opinion opener or something indirect.

Keep at it man, respect.
