"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

thanks for the replies Brak and Agent Zero. I know i have to start to have fun with this, because picking up girls should be fun and i wanna make it something that i truly enjoy doing. Agent zero, ur right, i think day time approaches are alot better than night. i need to get out more during the day, because so far i havent run into many hotties in the daytime yet, and id really like to focus my approaches on daytime.

Approach 9:
Another club approach. I was at the club last night alone. I didnt even plan on going, but me and a buddy were shooting pool all night and we were st0ned and the beer was cheap. So after i took him home i headed over to the club. There wasnt many people there . The club was like 1/3 full. So i didnt stay long. I just stood there having a beer and decided to leave once i finished it.

There werent too many hotties either, but then out of nowhere there was one that really caught my eye. She was a nice brunnette, about 5'8, nicest ass i have ever seen, and a great face. Damn this girl was ****ing gourgeous. And i was surprised no other guys noticed her either, she wasnt skantily dressed or anything and i guess thats what most guys were looking at. Anyway, im done my beer now and about to leave and i noticed she is in my proximity. She's talking to a friend a one part of the bar and when she's done she squeezes by me and i just kinda nudge her with my elbow to get her attention. She turns around:
Ratisson:(smile) "Hi"
Hb9.9: (smile) "hi.......do i know you?"
(the reason she said this was because i was kinda smiling at her like i did know her or something)
R: "dont i know you from somewhere? Arent u in any movies"
hb: (smile) "no not really"
(her body language toward me was atrocious, she kept walking more and more away from me, i could tell she had 0 interest)
R: What's ur name?
hb: Dorothy
(again she kept distancing herself from me)
R" Where u from?
hb: im from XXXXX
R: U wanna go dance
hb: no im gonna go over here with my friend
(the end)

I know the convo svcked but what was one to do. She wasnt helping me at all. Once i left the bar i realized some things i could have said. Like when she told me her name i could have said "Dorothy? like from the movie wizzard of OZ. See i knew i knew u from somewhere"
and "where's ur red shoes?"
damn.
i need to learn to think on my feet a little better. But anyway, i knew right from when i started talking to her that she wasnt interested. The rejection didnt hurt, but damn, i was disappointed, i wanted her bad. Probably one of the hottest girls ive ever seen, she looked like she just came out of a magazine. Oh well, like a good buddy of mine says "next time! next time!" haahaha.
im gonna get off my a$$ and start doing a lot of day approaches. Oh how i would have loved to run into this girl at a book store or something. peace.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

so i made another approach today. I know its been a while, but the past couple of days have been really busy for me. Saying that i havent had any time to approach girls is a lame excuse though. There have been numerous quality opportunities to approach girls but i ended up wussing out. I really need to focus on overcoming my approach anxiety, because i was passing up some good opportunities.

Okay, i just got back from the club tonight (i know, another club approach). But this one was good. When me and my friends got there we spent a couple hours just chilling and having some drinks. I wasnt in the best of moods, I was tired cuz i was working all day and hadnt got any sleep from the two previous nights.
So after a while of just chilling and doing nothing really productive with my time spent at the club, i decided i'll start to take a walk around inside the club (alone). I walked by this hottie who was sitting alone. I ll try my best to recall the conversation:
Approach 10

Ratisson: (smile) "hey... why are u just sitting there alone?"
Hb8: "my feet are tired and im bored" (smile)
R: Oh ya... so are mine
R: Whats ur name?
hb: my name is hb8.....(3-4 sec pause). Whats ur name?
R: ratisson
R: So u wanna go dance (i couldnt think of anything to say)
hb: this song kinda svcks , give me 2 minutes to rest some more
R: okay, im gonna start counting

i just look up at the ceiling pretending like im counting in my head. Hb8 laughs at this.
R: (after ten seconds) Okay times up lets go!
hb: (laughs) no that was too quick.

So from there we get into like a 5 min talk. She tells me she works on a cruise ship and other things about her self. We talked about her job a little, she would mirror my questions and vice versa.
After that 5 min convo, i tell her lets head over to go dance, she agrees.
We dance for like 5 mins and we talk a bit more. But darn this is where it went bad. The problem was that while we were dancing, i couldnt help but get a fvcking b0ner. I couldnt help it, i tried to think about baseball or something, but this girl just had an amazing body. I was sure she noticed and i think this creeped her out/ turned her off a little, because all of the sudden she just said she didnt want to dance anymore.
She made a comment about how she didnt like dancing to ****ty music, so im thinking this is another possible reason why she ended it so abruptly, but i doubt it, im sure she could feel my **** on her body when we were dancing, and im sure she got creeped out about it.
Hey is poping a boner while dancing with a chick considered an afc move? haha

but anyway after she tells me she dont wanna dance no more, i go for the number close. She wasnt hesitant at all. She makes a motion with her hand like "give me ur phone". But damn, i didnt have my phone on me, so i had to get her to tell me the number and ill try to remember it. lol.

She had to repeat it like 5 times to me. I gotta make sure though that next time i briong my phone with me.

Overall it was one of the most successful approaches ive done. I think this girl have some interest in me, but i dont know, hopefully the whole b0ner thing didnt turn her off. peace.

boners shouldn't offend anyone who has high enough interest in you, but if you think it may offend girls that will show as an insecurity. if you feel insecure about poking her with your boner then dance further away from her. i usually take it that the girls have a mission to get the guy to pop a boner, if they don't they somehow "fail" being a hottie

Just walk up and ask what kinda toothpaste she uses
You have tried this yourself? It seems to be a rather ackward opener.
Going up to a girl and asking her what type of toothpaste she uses.
Well great, I use a herbal toothpaste - I can get in a whole discussion about natural vs artificial toothpaste - may have potential.

SamRi72 said:
or point out what kind of smile she has (C or U).
I never did get that one. Could you explain that a bit further?

Juggler, the PUA favorite of many, got his claim to fame by saying he could pick up women by simply reading his grocery list.
Seems less ackward than the toothpaste one.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Approach 11

This approach actually took place the night before approach 10. I have been busy with my job and stuff and completely forgot about it.

At the bar with my friends last thursday. It was a more classy bar and it was my first time there. After about an hour of being in the bar with no approaches i go for a walk around inside the bar.

As im walking around theres this nice blonde Hb 9 that walks by me. She's holding 2 beers. I turn to my friend who was kinda walking with me and say out loud : "this woman's an alcoholic"

I then say to her "Are you an alcoholic?"
She hears me but keeps walking. I repeat myself "why are u holding to beers? Are ui an alcoholic" (i said this jokingly)

Hb: What no im not an alcoholic
R: U know, the first step of the road to recovery is admitting u have a problem.
Hb: (jokingly and smiling) "Fvck off"

--some fluff talk for like 1 min--
--She tries to eject the convo--

R: where are u going?
hb: I'm on a mission
R: what kind of mission?
hb; I gotta find my friends
R: (looks around at how packed the club is) huh, thats more like mission impossible
hb: (laughs)
A little more fluff occurs for a couple sec, i ask her to dance, i get a no.

R: Okay then...give me ur phone number
hb: nooo
R: (smile) okay then, have a good life (walk away)

-i liked this approach, didnt feel bad about the rejection and i liked the alcoholic joke i was making to her. But she deserves a lot of points. U dont hear too many women say "no" to ur face. they like to tell u all the other reasons whyh they cant give u their number which equal no.

I'm impressed with your approach there. You persisted until you got some sort of response from her and started with some off comment about her being an alcoholic, etc....

What I saw here is persistence on a few fronts:
1) She ignored you the first time and you continued.
2) She told you to ******* and you still continued talking anyway.
It's an uphill battle there with the odds stuck against you on this hb9 - and I think you've shown that you dont care too much about what she thinks and will just have a good-time no matter how she responds.

That's important - we have to come to that point where we are not going to let a girl wreck a day for us on an approach going bad, but persist and have a good-time at it, and look at her reaction to an approach as an entertainment value - or get entertained by her reaction no matter what it is.

Keep it up, I think you've got your approaches down to it - well done, if you are really low down on the looks scale, and you did this to a hb9 - you did an excellent job.

heres a couple more approaches from a couple nights ago.

Approach 12: At the bar with some friends. Im walking through the little dancefloor that they have and i spot a cute hb7. I just walk right up to her, make eye contacts, smile and start dancing with her. She was loving it. As we were dancing we make a little small talk. I ask her name, she says "my name is Onya". She then ask for mine and i tell her my name is Offya. hahaha. Then after a couple minutes of dancing she tells me she wants to get a drink. I made it clear to her that i dont buy drinks for girls and that im not buying one for her, she was cool with it. So we get our drinks and head back to the dancefloor and this is where i screw up. As we are heading back to the d floor my friends that i came with caught my attention and wouldnt leave me alone. And i lost her in the crowd. At the time i thought that ill get another chance with her later on but i never saw her again after that. damn.

Approach 13:
Later on that night i was near the dancefloor again and as im walking i bump into this hb 6. I just wmile and make eye contact and start dancing with her. It was so natural. We dance for a bit and i was a bit drunk so i dont remember everything. Actually i couldnt even remember if this girl was god looking or not, i was too hammered. But i still got her number so this one was a success,

Oh and i called the hb cruisegirl/got boner while grinding girl, from approach 10. I phone the number and asked for her name and the person told me i had the wrong number. So the number was a fake. It just goes to show that getting a girls number means zip.
