How do you handle moving targets?

[goodfella86]

How do you open/approach when you're walking and your target is coming directly towards you or walking past you? :woo: I get mad at myself because many times I'll get good eye contact but don't approach because one/both of us are going somewhere (possibly in a hurry to a class or something). I feel weird stopping them in the middle of wakling even though they might have given me good EC.

I love doing moving targets that come toward ur direction.
THis does work. Trust me! I've done it.

Right when she's 5-10 feet away from you. Put your arm out fully and then do a stop hand motion. Make sure ur hand is not fully up, but about 80% sticking up. While u do this say, "Stop" with a powerful voice but make sure ur smiling in both ur face and eyes. This is crucial.

This does work, trust me. 9/10 if u do this the right way...girls will stop. Then u do ur opener. If you have any doubt, still try it 10 times and come back

You need to have really, really good aim for this to work. Get a tranquilizer gun and make sure you aim right in front of where the person will walk. If you guess correctly, you should hit them and BANG! you have nailed a moving target.

Well, one of the most important keys to engaging moving sets is to get them to CHANGE DIRECTION. If they're walking forward and you're just blocking the path, they are still facing their original destination. You haven't fully captured there attention.

This is a good Lance Mason trick: You can ask them for directions, and when you do, you engage a little bit of kino. Walk towards them and point behind them asking something like, "Do you know where Starbucks is? I'm supposed to meet my friends there, but I'm new to this part of town. My friend told me it's in THAT direction, but the directions say it's over THERE." When you say THAT and THERE, you can actually initiate casual kino (hand on the back, or shoulder) and physically turn them by directing their attention into a different direction. When you've got them turned around, you have their full attention and you can proceed with the set as you would any other. Just make sure you keep the attention of the whole group or else one or two of them will start giving each other "wtf...let's get out of here" looks.
