I though this might be a bit educational and inspirational. So I'll post this for review and advice on what I did right and wrong.
So here goes, I had a bussiness engagement that got shifted back and I am now able to attend this formal event with a few colleagues. But here's the rub, its this saturday. I know what your thinking, something like this needs more planning. Well I saw it as a challenge and a test.
So I saw this girl I knew from around the place I live, she seems cool enough. So I straight up just walk over say Hey and ask her out, making direct eye contact and spoke in a confident tone. She said that she would check her schedule because she might be house hunting that weekend but thanked me for the invite with what appeared to be genuine interest and a smile and let me know when I call her, and she tossed me her digits. Obiviously this is a low to medium response despite getting the digits, which were not fake. Why you ask because after learning from this place I can just tell. Now I did call the girl but she wasn't at home, but her roomie was and I gave a message for her to take.
Now I know you're going to say, Grey Fox you should always, always aviod messages and get in direct contact with the girl. I absolutely agree with that, but I also carried out on what some here have the trouble of doing, I got a backup numbers. They are backup numbers because they are more than willing to go and just as good looking. So I can afford to bend the rules this time because I have backups and now I can test for interest level by seeing if the first girl calls back. While girls 2,3 and 4 are all more than happy to go out with me.
I thought I share this so if any of you who are cold approach specialist might comment on what makes your approaches successful and any recommendations on improvement as I am always looking to continue refining my cold approach skill.
