ok so im a black guy in a predominantly caucasian country.
Girls here are a little bit shy or preffer white guys to black guys here i guess because alot of the times my white friends get numbers in malls beaches etc and i generally dont get past the first look, no eye contact etc.
Im not bad looking as i work out and 12% body fat 6ft3 200 pounds. i have been told im very handsome many times but only AFTER i start talking to them and they get comfy. All the girls ive laid/ got interest from are girls that have been introduced to me by friends etc..the girls then seem stuck on to me like superglue. so i know im not that bad.lol
i guess its the "difference" in me that gets them shy at first.
anyway i used to put of cold approaches, guess i figured my skin tone meant the girls generally wont give out numbers.lol...it has happened before which is why i gave up.
but couple days ago i figured i might as well try.
basically i started of talking to store hotties, receptionists, bartenders etc...basically just start by saying hi, pick up on smtn interesting about her, shoes/tattoos/ even used the special drink on the bartender etc.. ive noticed girls LOVE to talk about themselves to strangers as soon as you give them a topic they want to talk about..usually that topic is fashion/accessories etc that they have. its not hard to pick smtn out.
Yesterday at the mall i was at a sneaker shop and a HB8 next to me was looking for her first pair of Air Force's..i overheard her conversation with the sales girl.i waited for the sales girl to go away. and moved in like
ME: Man! its hard to pick one out huh, so many colors n styles!
She: <Smiling> phew! yeh! my first pair, and i wanna wear it to a party tonight but i dunno anything about sneakers.
Me: Well..todays ur lucky day coz where i come from, you learn a lil smtn about kicks very early in life.
She: <Laughgs> Yeh my prayers have been answered! could you help me pick a good pair? <Smtn like that> my name is *** <reachs hand out>
ME: Im Slick
Her: Oh sexy name! <DID NOT HAPPEN! IM JOKING>
ME: So you a sneaker pimpette?lol
She: HAHA is that what they call it?
I basically picked on talkin to her about her clothing style.. i negged her a lil in teasing and she made good attempts to qualify herself through jokes etc.
anyway i helped her pick a pair in about 15 minutes <GIRLS!> coz she was talking to me about what shes wearing etc...
She wanted to hang out with me and buy me coffee but i had a "friend" of mine destroyed by chances of grabbin that coffee. check out my new thread for thats tory!..annoying!
at the end of it i got her number, she took mine and told me to call her on monday <tomoro>
so my advice to you:
- Be confident
- Dont act like approaching is new to you or it worries you.
- My Experience: Girls seem to LOVE a confident guy that knows he looks good enough to just walk up and say hi. If ur comfy in it, then she gets the vibe to be comfy too..if you're acting strange, not smiling and hands on ur pockets etc she'll feel nervous and bounce.
- When you do it, you may get a little voice in your head saying NO! dont do it, dont listen to em, thats your AFC speaking. just go for it, coz girls are human too. if you talk to them nicely they'll talk back. whats the worse that can happen
- I tend to do it when im alone at the mall, because then you dont have idiot friends trying to be AFC hitting on the girl because you've already opened her.
- Dress to the occasion or dress smart casual. girls DO NOT like guys who try to look like they walked out of Queens NY. black street thug look does not work on girls. I usually wear fitted jeans and a full sleeved shirt folded up. or a correctly colored ralph lauren polo on denims/ shorts and the right kind of shoes. i also try to take my ipod with me and listen to good tunes. because the music also gets me in a creative mood to come up with good stuff to talk about...and the good music gives me that extra bounce/swag.
- Be yourself, dont try to be something you think she wants, she'll pick it up quickly.
- And ive learnt from the advice guys have given me here, dont be phased if a couple of the girls you approach give you a cold shoulder or in my case, give you numbers with high IOI and then flake on you. dont get put off by it or stop approaching. coz if you approach 10 girls, atleast 5 of them are good for a date set up etc..
Women are beautiful creatures dude, theyre also not that hard to obtain...
good luck.and keep up updated..
SORRY FOR LONG POST!
