The five moves have been amended according to the responses that offered "useful" incite.
This is not in tips because it is an evolving list. Feel free to add to it.
When you approach a woman and attempt to engage her in conversation, she will typically make one of five moves, and they are predictable. The great thing about predictability is that you can plan for it. All you need to know is the Five Moves, and the Five Counter Moves and you are comfortable.
The Five Moves:
1. Decides that she is interested.
2. Politely ignores you or walks away from you.
3. Remains silent.
4. Answers your question or asks you a question in return.
5. Makes an excuse for not talking to you.
When you have your moves planned in advance, you know exactly what you will do when the woman makes any one of the “five moves” above.
After you greet her with a “Hi” or “Hello,” and position yourself correctly, ask her your opening question. She will respond with one of the following:
1. Decides that she wants you: This may be indicated by taking your arm into hers, jumping on your lap, or another IOI that may be more subtle. This is a good move. Ring it up.
Amended comments - This is not that uncommon. I see in the first series of responses that some have experienced this, while others have not. The point is, "it does happen." Spend enough time in the field and you will see it happen if it doesn't happen to you.
2. Politely ignores you or walks away from you: There are several reasons why she might answer your question and politely brush you off or move away from you. If she starts to walk away, just shut up, observe and mirror. She may not be ready to talk to you yet. Don’t try to talk her into staying. Unwelcomed words create negative pressure. Let the silence work for you. Back off and stay mentally connected. Don’t give up and walk away, and definitely do not chase after her. Women who are chased, run! Just remain connected and wait for a time to re-approach.

"A woman can answer your question even if she is not at all interested, but it will be a somewhat terse answer then she will make herself busy. Like if I say something about the weather she will agree and maybe even be polite for a moment then "get back to what she was doing" or walk away after briefly talking to me, but after briefly talking to me/answering my question she will not leave much room for me to say more and may walk away or do other things."[/I]
3. She remains silent: You may not have positioned right for her to hear you. She may also be drunk, and is still trying to process what you said, or she is scanning you for congruence. The silent pressure is on. She wonders: “Should I or shouldn’t I?” You wonder, “Will I close her?” The silent pressure is intensified. Nobody is talking. Decisions are being made.
Remain quiet and keep looking her in the eyes. Wait for as many seconds as it takes for her to respond. These seconds are called “KABOOMS.”
A “KABOOM” is the feeling of your heart beating in your chest when you are dying to talk. Or it could be something beating in your pants.
If at any time she walks away, step back and shut up. If she asks you a question answer it and shut up. It’s easy. Follow the system
4. She answers your question or asks you one in return: When you shut up, you give women an opportunity to respond to your question. If you are asked a question in return, answer it, then shut up, observe, and mirror. If she answers your question, it is your turn again. Now you can say something else.
5. She makes an excuse for not talking to you: When she gives you an excuse like “I have a boyfriend,” you must be prepared.
You cannot stop and think about what you should say next; you have to know what you will say. You must be prepared for excuses, and ready to overcome them.
Learning how to overcome excuses is critical to making pro-active, no-pressure pick-up easy.
Feel free to add any other moves a woman could make. Please try list only moves that are not just a variation of the above mentioned.
