Mall Approach

[HardTimes]

In my attempt to start approaching all the time everywhere I went to the mall today to scope out the scene a bit and buy some clothes. I planned on seeing if there was any approach opprotunities and I was wondering how do you go about approaching at a mall on a chick by herself? I was only there for about 20 mins but I saw one decent looking chick walking by herself with a few bags in here hand walking parallel to be a bit in front and I had about, say 30 seconds to approach before I had to turn the other direction (I was leaving the mall).

So in this type of situation, how would a approach work? I could imagine something like we were both shopping and I ask her opinion on something or if she works there but outside of the store just walking (or sitting down at a bench) I dont know what my in is.

This is what I do.

I do something called a state-shift.

I shift my state into something I want to be, or was at a high point in my life.

Everything else flows from there.


The best openers would be to act lost and ask for directions, and then as they reply, get curious, and take the conversation somewhere else.

Daygameguy's on point with asking for direction.

It serves as a safe way to approach even the most leisure shoppers.

Once you've pinpoint the location to whatever store or restaurant, redirect the topic.

You can ask what she's shopping for ... where she enjoys going to in this particular mall etc.

Then give a handshake, thank her for the directions, tell her it was a great meeting her.

Right before you two separate, say "Hold on... you seem like a very interesting person to get to know. What's your e-mail? let's keep in touch."

In most cases, given that you don't come across as a sleaze or creep, they'll most likely oblige. Don't try put your game face on. Just be genuine, warm, smile.

The asking for directions is a good one I didn't think of that. Will try next time, thanks.

If you can't think of anything better to say (like a comment or question about why she's carrying 20 bananas), just ask for her opinion on something. It's a simple and easy opener. Move on from there.
