I have a sweet bar near my train station that's all white Miami style and makes great mohitos. I always roll solo and know most of the bartenders so it's a welcoming place.
I usually open with something about travel since I've been to over 100 cities and being older, that's my game. Or I talk drugs and medicine since that's my field and working in women's health, they are always taken that I know a load more than they do about the female body.
I opened a 23yo about her mohito choice and asked her how it tastes. Not yes or no, but describe the taste. She gave an elaborate story behind a cucumber mohito and gave me a sip. I said it barely rivals the ones in South American cities and we are off to the races. Later she brought up that she plans to go back to nursing and nutrition school, and we are off again. 20 minutes later she asks for my number and texts me her details, saying she wants to contact me on the weekend. She doesn't mention age (I'm 40+) but calls me "distinguished". We'll see how refined it is.
I'm planning to hit this place more often.

Setting: last night, 930/10pm @ food coop style grocery store in Kirkland, WA (upscale suburb of seattle on the east side).
Target: Clear HB8 if not 8.5, blonde, mid twenties, light eyes girl, 5'3/5'4. Leggings, light jacket, Idaho trucker hat. Not my type at all - too conventionally 'sexy' and mostly out of my league given my history with these types - but whatever, ZFG.
I go about my shopping having seen her near the front of the store as I entered. Circle back a few minutes later to see her in the cold drinks section, so I go over to grab a tea and comment on her pants (she's wearing white legging/tights with the american flag design covering one leg). I comment : "Nice pants, I feel like I need to do the pledge of allegiance to them". She laughs and responds, "What can I say, I love america".
We head over the the check out line, the checkout guy cards her since she's buying wine and I comment how flimsy/cheap the WA drivers' license is compared to ones back east. She responds "oh yeah, you're right I remember my FL one - that felt official". I ask her where in FL she lived and she responded "Tampa" and I make conversation about going down there before to see Yankees spring training. She responds how it feels like half of NY has moved down there. She finishes checking out and walks away - I only have 3 items so I get checked out quick. Walk out and ask her what's her name as she's walking to her suv.
We chat about why I moved out west, our jobs, how she grew up in the area, left, then came back etc and I tell her that I have to get home but we definitely should get drinks sometime. Get the "would love to, but i have a bf" gentle blowout.
Oh well - unfortunate because she was some of the best talent i've seen in seattle.
Feedback appreciated from those much more well versed than I.

Doesn't seem like you did much wrong, could you tell if she was merely being polite or were you hoping for IOIs later?
I generally ask for the number on a cold meet like this before asking for drinks.

My gym is part of a "country club" which has a pool and places to sit in the grass.
After my workout and pool laps, I went to the hot tub.
There were 2 ladies (5-6) talking intensely, 2 old guys and a hot 30+ girl (7 bordering 8) with a tight body and nice face.
Engage the 2 ladies in conversation. That took 5-6 minutes till they left, as well as the two old guys.
Looked at the target. She was doing kind of stretching/static power exercise.
I opened with: "Saw you at the pool. Are you stretching or resting?"
She explained that it was exercise and that she does not like to workout.
"So you are lazy?" I asked with a big grin, indicating I'm teasing.
We hit up the conversation, and seems that we share a status (divorced +2). She also lives not far away from my house.
Engaged her on her character, awareness and my views on the world.
at the 10 minute mark I said, looking directly at her eyes: "You are interesting. we should meet to continue the conversation".
"I have a partner" she stated back looking at me directly.
She was not lying, as far as I can tell.
Finished the thread and wished her well.

I had a set date afterwards.

Several approaches yesterday and today. Jam music festival yesterday, many cuties, almost none available. Several dance approaches which got nowhere before a BF made himself known, one led to a brief conversation and then "these are my friends" and an exit. Approached an Indian girl stretching on a rail near the bathroom right after the show ended
"You danced too hard"
haha I guess
Walked over and stood facing her 2:00, uncommitted body language"Who;d you come to see?"
xxx you?
yyy but was really impressed with [the last band that finished]. Was hoping to see zzz but I guess they're on tomorrow.
Chatted for a minute then a guy walks over and stands by - "This is Chris"
Today woke up with an MDMA hangover feeling less than motivated but banged out some work emails and hit the city
Parked by Starbucks, got a tea, came out and Asian girl was bopping to some music outide
"Looks like a a good beat!"
Smiles and immediately looks down and starts playing with her phone
Walk across the street into a classy hotel. Walk into restaurant area, nobody, down escalators to basement conference area, nobody. Coming back up meander through the lobby see a cutie come around the corner. Head for exit and pause in foyer pretending to look at some piece of art, turn as I hear her behind me and she stops and motions for me to go ahead out the door, I do.
"How is this place"
Startled look "I don't know actually"
You're not staying here either?
No, I went for a swim with some friends. Pools nice but can't recommend beyond that.
Ah, I was looking for a place to stay when I'm back down in a few weeks (BS, way out of my price range)
Where are you from?
xxx you?
She was an intern in the city from CA for the summer, like several girls I've talked to here. Definite influx of interns to summer game. We walked and talked for several blocks, I told here I was headed to a museum in that general direction. Eventually said "I think I need to head left up here, it was nice to meet you"
You too
Want to grab a chai latte sometime?
Yeah sure, when are you back
Oh I'm here, was looking at the place for when I'm back in a few weeks or so. (might've shot myself in the foot here, sketchy ending) Got a number, will text tomorrow
Bunch of booths set up in a park, girl was looking at display, I waled to other side and pondered the approach until she asked "Do you think they glue it?"
"I don't know. I had a buddy who made one of these once actually I should ask him. Looks like a lot of work."
Talk for a bit, Ukranian with impeccable English, I suggest a beverage which we get at another booth and sit and talk some more. Walk around town, were staying in same area outside city so I say I'll bring here home. Ask what work needs to be done and suggest postponing it, go and get drinks nearby. She broke out the "36 (I think, it's on here somewhere) question game" which is apparently an app now as well. Take note, players. Definitely built some comfort with that. She was insistent on going home after and didn't want me to drive her there, had to work and "wanted to walk off the beer". Number, kissed and went our separate ways, will text tomorrow.

Just hoping for IOI's later. Good point on going for the number instead of suggesting to meet up on a cold approach.

What?!?!?
Some asshole really tried to cock block you in public like that.
He deserves to get punched.
I would have tried to intimidate him, just for fun. (unless he was a big, tough looking guy -- which is only about 1% of all guys)
I would have told him to shut his little faggot mouth before he gets knocked out..
I don't like taking shit from people when I'm out approaching girls..
I even tell girls to fuck off if they are rude to me..
Examples:
I approached a girl on the street:
me: cool jeans, I just started rocking the distressed look myself
I showed her my jeans.
She gave me a funny look.
me: I like your taste in jeans
We were basically wearing the same jeans.
She rolled her eyes at me.
me: you gotta problem ugly bitch?
Her jaw dropped.
me: bitch, you're not cute enough to give me an attitude. You look like a monkey bitch, you would be lucky to fuck with a guy like me
She didn't know what to say.. She was frozen stiff..
me: yeah bitch, I said it, get the fuck outta here with your ugly mongolian monkey looking ass
She hurried away.
I'm not taking shit from bitches this summer.

Another girl tried to give me an attitude after I approached her..
her: I don't have to talk to you
me: no you don't but I was respectful and polite the entire time, so don't give me an attitude bitch because I will slap the shit out of your little skinny white ass
her: what omg
me: ya you heard me bitch, get the fuck outta here before I slap the shit out your dumb bulemic looking face
her: what!
me: ya bitch go get your boyfriend so I can beat him up to, I know you date dorks
She walked off quickly.
I might be going through some anger issues but the fact is that I'm just not talking any bullshit from rude bitches or cock blocking guys this summer.

You are a winner for sure, the girls are missing out. You should open with 'my dad was a pimp', 'I like going about my business without my shirt on' and 'I will drug you and get you drunk before I have my way with you'. Classy gentlemen, don't let anybody say different
AWright 路 2016-07-12 20:28:00 路 #2884
Gio the way you reacted to those women came off as really reactive. If a girl says she doesn't want to talk there could 1,000 reasons why, you're better off just saying have a good day and onto the next set. All it takes is one girl to complain to security and get you banned from a venue or campus. I got banned from the most popular venue in my hometown because I said some things to a mother hen after she gave me lip and it was much, much tamer then what you said.

I have to respectfully disagree with AWright and applaud Giovanny's actions.
If you are being polite to someone and they are rude to you, why tolerate it? You wouldn't tolerate it from a man so why should a woman get a pass? The reason American women have so much attitude is because no one calls them out on their rude behavior. There's a difference to not wanting to talk and being rude. If a woman is being the latter, then yes, put her in her place. I wouldn't do it in a place where I'd get banned but, on a public street? That's fair game.
By the way, how many approaches do you do a week Giovonny?

You're right and I appreciate you for saying that.
But, trust me, I am extremely careful about how, why, and where I scold people verbally.. Believe me, these girls had it coming, they were rude and contemptuous.
The interesting thing to me was the reaction on the girls faces, they literally did not know what to say or do?!?
Dare I say that I even sensed a little bit of a vagina tingle from one or 2 of the girls. Dare I say that they enjoyed being put in their place???
I live in San Francisco, a city teaming with feminism, if I don't stand up for masculinity, I fear no one will.

I just did it again about an hour ago!
I was in line paying for my groceries, the cashier told me I had to wait because someone forgot their bin code number -- The whole line had to wait because one rude person could not write down or remember their number -- There are large signs that clearly say, "Write Down Your Number".
I waited patiently, no one came.
The cashier apologized to us for having to wait.
Another minute passed...
I spoke up..
me: do we have to wait for them or can you ring me up?
cashier: oh here she is
Some lady walked over and didn't even apologize to us..
I felt compelled to speak up..
me: you're supposed to know your number when you get up here
She ignored me.
me: Imagine if I made you wait, that would be rude right?
She still ignored me.. I stepped closer to her..
me: its very rude to make everybody wait because you can't remember your number, you're a rude person
her: shut up
me: imagine if you were in our shoes, you're wrong lady, sorry, somebody has to tell you
her: oh okay
me: you're wrong and everyone know it, I'm just being honest
A policewoman walked into the store.
her: officer this man is bothering me
me: its not illegal to tell you that its rude to make other people wait
her: shut up
me: you made all of us wait, im just telling you
Everyone knew I was right.
By looking at the crowd and the store employees, the policewoman could tell that I was right.
policewoman: maybe you should just walk away ma'am
The lady left.
policewoman: I thought she was joking
me: sorry to bother you on your break
policewoman: thats ok it happens all the time
I flirted with the police woman for a minute.
Again, I'm very careful about how and when I do this..

It depends..
From January to May, I had one steady girl, I wasn't actively seeking another girl.
I did very few approaches, less than one a week.
Starting in June, I have been hunting for a new sex partner..
I do at least 2 or 3 approaches a day -- Sometimes, 5 a day -- Sometimes, 10 a day (weekends).
So, the last few weeks, I've been doing at least 30 or 40 a week..
Honestly, the first 100 feel like a warm up, I still feel like I am just warming up..
I'm approaching hotter women than I have in years past so its a learning process all over again..
Here are some things that I've sensed as I've been approaching young 8s and 9s
- Less is more; Elaborate, long winded conversation does not fit my vibe; I'm learning to communicate more with less, allowing for a bit of mystery, not revealing my intentions; Speaking "in between the lines": "secret society", etc.
- My look, my body language, my tone of voice, my comfort level, -- These things are crucial. These communicate MORE than my actual words!
I will share more as I learn it.

I want to do 50 approaches a week at least. I don't see the sense of doing any less while living in NYC and with good outdoor weather. I need to buy new walking shoes lol.
WalkingMan 路 2016-07-13 17:42:00 路 #2889
Oh, and just to add some value to the thread I'll share my approach story.
Yesterday after work I saw a Chinese girl walking down the street and asked her if she was playing Pokemon Go lol. I already knew she was but I pretended I was curious. We hit it off well. Talked and walked for a few minutes. Lingering eye contact when we went our separate ways. She even did the number confirm on me as we were parting ("call me so I save your number"). I like where this is going. We're going for Indian food in an hour if she shows up
I wanted to do the bar, but I don't mind. There will be more girls.
I'm gonna have her visit my place, then take her to the restaurant, then my place again. My room feels a tad underprepared, but oh well. At least I finally have an AC lol
I'm gonna experiment with this line more during the rest of the week. I like it. I could ask any girl who is on their phone. And it's a great segway into a lively chat with fun emotions.

I actually used this one today. Didn't hook well in that instance, but I agree, this one has potential for the summer at least. And I like it for the exact same reason - it's a socially relevant topic and a way to break a girl out of her phone.
I've been fighting through AA, I've been out of the saddle a long time. I got into a brief conversation with a half-decent 40-something woman today, but I'm way out of practice, didn't drive the conversation in the right direction and didn't push the interaction enough. Right now I feel like just opening is progress, but I've got to keep pushing and not just turn into an opener machine.
I happen to work in a part of the city that gets a TON of foot traffic during the day, so I've resolved to go out and open at least one girl at lunch every day. I realized today that I saw at least 10 women who were "right swipe" material in a period of 10 minutes. Not everyone was a good situation (with other guys, too far away going in wrong direction, whatever), but the talent is out there. I got 2 weak approaches in today, but at least I feel better about the AA. Maybe I'll go for 3 tomorrow, 4 on Friday, working my way up to a reasonable number, the 5-10 range.

Setting: last night, 930pm in a side street in cap hill seattle by the 12th st. strip of bars.
Target I crossed upon per chance: Three lizards, mid 20's, two 8.5s the other a 6.5. The two 8.5's were at-least 5'8, if not taller, and had heels (i'm 5'7/5'8 and they were much taller) and body wrap style short dresses one in blue (a blonde) the other in pink (brunette). The 6.5 was quite short. The pink one was posing for a picture on a street corner and I walked past them on my way to the bar and quipped "you are taking a picture with a street sign. why?" The 6.5 responded in a joking manner "so we don't forget where we parked" and then asked me to take a picture of all three of the girls. I did and then made a couple lines of small talk with the blonde in blue and then walked away. Kicking myself the rest of the night for not asking for the number of the girl in pink (the brunette).
Pitiful approach overall. didn't introduce myself, nothing. Just a very poor mindset. Certainly was intimidated a bit since there were two amazonian types together and it was a three-set overall with zero chance for isolation or anything like that.
Need to learn to improve my zfg in this type of situation. I've rarely done street approaches, but in this case I should've continued the interaction for a couple more mins (especially since they were walking in the same direction as me on 12th st for over 3 blocks) and asked for contact info and bounced instead of doing nothing.
There wasn't any talent at that level for the rest of my might.
Learn from my failure lads. I need to build that Gio approach mindset. Always remember - the regret from not going for the number is a million times worse than the rejection.
Lastly, this is for men from the north east who find themselves in the pacnw - you are going to run into a higher % of "tall" women out here.

I've tried to open a few walking the other way recently by looking up as they're 15' away, stopping, and saying "damn girl, you're gorgeous. We should get to know each other/something situational." All smiled and blew by. Going to try similar with a hand up an "excuse me" first later today when I get the truck back.

Why would you ever agree to take their picture? If they do put the phone in your hand, snap yourself, text the photo to you so you have her number, and text back from your phone some ultra wise-ass amusing comment. 'Stop stalking me!' etc.

I've been trying to do more day approaches, since I really want to get out of the Internet and I've been limiting my drinking, which kind of rules out night game.
Two days ago: I'm in a coffee shop and a sexy woman sits down next to me. I heard her ordering and she had an accent. I open with "Excuse me, I heard you had an accent when you ordered, where are you from?". She says that she's from Turkey and came to the US to study English. We talk for 20 minutes and then go out for a walk for another 20 minutes. At some point she drops that she has a son and she's married. 37, son is 20 years old. We chat 5 more minutes and I'm out, since I think she wants to practice her English with me. Could've pushed for more.
Today: I'm at a public transit station. An alternative looking girl with nice sexy posture walks by me and our eyes lock. She sits down next to me. I turn to her and she smiles. I think of an opener and notice her grocery store bag. I ask her what's that store. We then chat about where she's from, where I'm from and so on. She says that she lives in a city that's one hour away from where I live so I figure there's no way I'll drive that far. My train comes and I'm out of there. In retrospect, could've taken her number, maybe she would've driven to see me.

Banged an approach from the other day yesterday, back on the streets this afternoon. Took a while to get into it, wasn't in a good state to begin with but eventually found my groove.
Opened one asking if she knew where college center was, looked good from behind but when she turned was obviously early-mid 30s and not that attractive, She wasn't into it so I didn't pursue.
Couple other half-assed attempts didn't go anywhere, and ran into the same thing another time - great body from behind but older and meh face, "Hey...how it's going" and walked onwards.
True to my word opened oncoming traffic with a more forceful stop and she did. "Hey hold up" with hand up, "you're very attractive and I wanted to say hi". Another pretty blue eyed blonde but Catalan, not a common color scheme. Made a point to escalate kino as quickly as possible, guiding her with hand on back and shoulders, playful touches, having her spin around for me slowly while I checked her out to guess her age (24, nailed it) etc. Convinced her to get a coffee with me, she did, and walked back to her place. Lots of flirting and touching, tried to get inside but nothing doing, so got a number. Went for a kiss but she turned the cheek. Recently out of a six year relationship, maybe a bit too sexual for a stranger on the street. Will find out when I text tomorrow.
Walking back to the truck made a detour through the club district. Pair of brunettes dressed to the nines. Not typically the girls I go for although they were smoking hot by any standards. I was walking up and two black guys beat me to them, came up from behind and didn't assert their attention, instead mumbled somehting aout how they should come to shake shack with them, the girls half turned and gave the cold shoulder, started to cross the street. Ran next to them
"What, you guys don't like shake shack?! That's cold! Turned to acknowledge me but kept walking, so did I.
"You guys are gorgeous though. Where's the party?"
Turn and look at me when they talk, better sign than the last dudes got "Home. We're going home."
Look them up and down "You guys dress up that fine just to go home? Damn. So where's the good spots around here when you do go out?"
"You know, have to look good to go out! Where are you from?"
"xxx, pretty far. Although they named that street after my state back there so kinda local I guess"
They were from Germany, talked about Berlin clubs, underground scene till end of block
"Alright I need to go this way, you guys should text me next time you're going out"
"Oh I can't I'm with someone" "Yeah I have a boyfriend"
"Ok, well nice to meet you, you're still beautiful!"
Got another new lead who wants to come over sometime this week, as well as the last girl. Fuck, 430 is going to come early tomorrow; heat, work, game, drugs and booze for a solid month here. Need to take a day to decompress soon I think.

What?!?!?
Some asshole really tried to cock block you in public like that.
He deserves to get punched.
I would have tried to intimidate him, just for fun. (unless he was a big, tough looking guy -- which is only about 1% of all guys)
I would have told him to shut his little faggot mouth before he gets knocked out..
I don't like taking shit from people when I'm out approaching girls..
I even tell girls to fuck off if they are rude to me..
Examples:
I approached a girl on the street:
me: cool jeans, I just started rocking the distressed look myself
I showed her my jeans.
She gave me a funny look.
me: I like your taste in jeans
We were basically wearing the same jeans.
She rolled her eyes at me.
me: you gotta problem ugly bitch?
Her jaw dropped.
me: bitch, you're not cute enough to give me an attitude. You look like a monkey bitch, you would be lucky to fuck with a guy like me
She didn't know what to say.. She was frozen stiff..
me: yeah bitch, I said it, get the fuck outta here with your ugly mongolian monkey looking ass
She hurried away.
I'm not taking shit from bitches this summer.
--
Another girl tried to give me an attitude after I approached her..
her: I don't have to talk to you
me: no you don't but I was respectful and polite the entire time, so don't give me an attitude bitch because I will slap the shit out of your little skinny white ass
her: what omg
me: ya you heard me bitch, get the fuck outta here before I slap the shit out your dumb bulemic looking face
her: what!
me: ya bitch go get your boyfriend so I can beat him up to, I know you date dorks
She walked off quickly.
I might be going through some anger issues but the fact is that I'm just not talking any bullshit from rude bitches or cock blocking guys this summer.
************
Haha, brutal man. Hilarious, but brutal. I've been sitting on a few lines for occasions like this -
"So did your seeing eye dog help you pick out that outfit this morning?"
Or more mildly - "It's a shame your beauty is only skin deep. I'd say you have 5 good years left, better make the most of them!"
The dude who cockblocked me was coworker on this job with me for another week or so, we did have a brief chat about it and I haven't been out with him since. Fucking loser, no time in my life for that shit.

1) On the street see a cute little blonde in shorts and yellow t-shirt. Get her at the light and ask if she's from the place on the t-shirt. Banter a little bit. She's receptive but almost no eye contact from her. She has weird head motions, and big teeth. Body 8.5, face...6.5. Kind of an odd one. We cross and I go into the store and she folows, saying "I'm following you". I bullshit with her a little more and then do my shopping, timing checkout so I get out right before her.
She walks out quickly and says bye and I have to catch up to her, walk a block talking and go for the number. She says she's kinda seeing someone, but maybe we'll see each other around the hood.
2) one a few days ago, very cute Polish chick, very young maybe 18-19 amazing body, minor skin problems, standing there staring at her phone in a cute grey dress and a leather handbag with frills. Had to open her since she's just standing there. deep green eyes. Start a conversation about the bag. It's from Zara. Ramble about Zara, H&M, then on to where she's from in Poland and a bit about that. She's here for two weeks, and waiting on the street for her dad to pick her up. After a couple more minutes of easy conversation, she gets a text that her dad is in the car waiting down the block so she very politely makes leave and we part amicably. Didn't try to close.
This one, I was pleasantly struck by how easy it was to keep her in the conversation compared to American girls. Must go to Poland.
3) Sit on a rock in the park next to pale skimpily clad red head reading a book. A few minutes later her friend shows up. Inane girl conversation, the friend is an actress, and lives with her BF it sounds like. After a few more minutes I chime in about driving in our city, and engage them, then phase out of the conversation a bit, then chime back in and eventually we're talking about dreams. I tell them about a crazy one I had a few nights before. The actress chick is into me and introduces herself, asking my name! The red-head is kinda lukewarm, and we exchange "nice meeting you's". Didn't go for the close.

On the way to a friend's house I see a cute Asian walking by and was pretty sure I got the "look". After almost talking myself out of talking to her, I catch up to her and go direct:
Me: "Excuse me" she stops, turns towards me and smiles
Her: "Yes"
Me: "I just noticed you walking by....and...I know this will sound weird, but you look like someone I'd like to get to know.....I'm [name]" as I shake her hand.
Her: "I'm [name]. It's funny your name is [X] as I'm on the way to meet my friend [X].
Me: "Is it spelt with a [letter my name uses that's more unique] or a [the more popular letter]".
Her: "With a [the more popular way]"
Me: "Ah, well, not as unique" she laughs "Did you just come from work or something?"
...
Chatted a little bit more and then suggested we grab a coffee and got the number. It was the first day approach I did in a while so was kind of nervous but one thing I need to work on is to stay in set longer. During day approaches, usually chicks are on the way to a certain place and I drop a line like "well, I don't want to keep you from [X] but we should grab coffee sometime" instead of just continuing the conversation until she tries to eject.

Banged the girl from oncoming direct approach last week the other day! More approaches -
Other day - cutie by a food stand with a brochure
"Where'd you get the brochure?"
She smiles - it was in that tent over there
"Is this like a one day thing do you know?"
Still smiling - I think it's been going on since Saturday
I see a guy approaching with food orders eyeing me, obvious BF, break away as he mate guards.
Yesterday - Starbucks warm ups - slightly chubby dyed blonde with a shirt saying "all possibilities"
"What does all possibilities mean to you?"
Blah blah, forgot to note her response
" Tony Robbins always said reality is only limited by beliefs. I subscribe to that". (Don't quote me on the Tony Robbins...)
Mom with two kids waiting for iced drinks
"Chillers, you guys are ready to cool off!"
haha, yea biking so we're pretty hot
"Wow, I bet. Where to?"
BS for a minute till our drinks come
Left Starbucks and there was a barbershop next door with no line and a cute asian chick. Usually women don't do a great job on my hair but I figured I'd take a chance and went in. She was Cambodian, mediocre English, talked about local area, her SEA travel recommendations, my story, her story. She laughed genuinely at the right moments. As I handed her cash
"It was nice talking to you. Are you with someone or can I buy you a drink sometime?"
Blushes - Oh, haha, no thank you.
"OK, well good to meet you, I'll send the other guys down for a haircut if they need one"
Pretty decent cut actually
I was meeting a pretty, sweet girl from previous approach near a landmark and saw a decent but average girl sitting by Subway stairs listening to musicians playing there.
"Do you know where xxx coffee shop is?"
No, sorry. Don't you have a phone?
"Yea, it says it's right around here but I don't see it. I was trying to avoid a chain and shop local, y'know."
Oh, well I know yyy up that st is good and zzz a few blocks that way...
"OK thanks, I'll check down here for it" I walk half a block, nothing, turn around, reapproach
'Couldn't find it?'
"Nah, so tell me about your other recommendations"
She does, I tell her I'm meeting a friend, she asks from work or what, "no just a friend" and invite her to go grab one, we walk a block, whole time I'm hoping my chick isn't here already. Get to coffee shop and it's more a sit down place that does food and beer too. Waitress offers to seat us
"I can't really sit, my friend will be around any minute"
Girl starts turning..
"Let me get us one to go though"
No, that's alright, enjoy though!
Could've probably had this bang with a little work but not worth risking a hot bird in hand for mediocre bird in bush.
Home Depot today - Cutie at self-checkout register, almost finished, I take one next to her
"You're cuter than the average do-it-yourselfer"
Half smile 'thanks' as she picks up her stuff - boxes
"Moving?"
Yep, headed out.
"Where to?"
'Oh just to xxx. Bye!' as she walks away
This is my go-to direct opener for any hardware store, and subbing out DIY, for anyplace where the average clientele isn't very hot and I can't come up with something situational in time. It's very much intended to be a backhanded compliment. Not a great result here but has worked for me before. I've also used in Walmart and I'm sure a few other similar venues in the past.

Yesterday - Starbucks warm ups - slightly chubby dyed blonde with a shirt saying "all possibilities"
"What does all possibilities mean to you?"
Blah blah, forgot to note her response
" Tony Robbins always said reality is only limited by beliefs. I subscribe to that". (Don't quote me on the Tony Robbins...)
Mom with two kids waiting for iced drinks
"Chillers, you guys are ready to cool off!"
haha, yea biking so we're pretty hot
"Wow, I bet. Where to?"
BS for a minute till our drinks come
Left Starbucks and there was a barbershop next door with no line and a cute asian chick. Usually women don't do a great job on my hair but I figured I'd take a chance and went in. She was Cambodian, mediocre English, talked about local area, her SEA travel recommendations, my story, her story. She laughed genuinely at the right moments. As I handed her cash
"It was nice talking to you. Are you with someone or can I buy you a drink sometime?"
Blushes - Oh, haha, no thank you.
"OK, well good to meet you, I'll send the other guys down for a haircut if they need one"
Pretty decent cut actually
I was meeting a pretty, sweet girl from previous approach near a landmark and saw a decent but average girl sitting by Subway stairs listening to musicians playing there.
"Do you know where xxx coffee shop is?"
No, sorry. Don't you have a phone?
"Yea, it says it's right around here but I don't see it. I was trying to avoid a chain and shop local, y'know."
Oh, well I know yyy up that st is good and zzz a few blocks that way...
"OK thanks, I'll check down here for it" I walk half a block, nothing, turn around, reapproach
'Couldn't find it?'
"Nah, so tell me about your other recommendations"
She does, I tell her I'm meeting a friend, she asks from work or what, "no just a friend" and invite her to go grab one, we walk a block, whole time I'm hoping my chick isn't here already. Get to coffee shop and it's more a sit down place that does food and beer too. Waitress offers to seat us
"I can't really sit, my friend will be around any minute"
Girl starts turning..
"Let me get us one to go though"
No, that's alright, enjoy though!
Could've probably had this bang with a little work but not worth risking a hot bird in hand for mediocre bird in bush.
Home Depot today - Cutie at self-checkout register, almost finished, I take one next to her
"You're cuter than the average do-it-yourselfer"
Half smile 'thanks' as she picks up her stuff - boxes
"Moving?"
Yep, headed out.
"Where to?"
'Oh just to xxx. Bye!' as she walks away
This is my go-to direct opener for any hardware store, and subbing out DIY, for anyplace where the average clientele isn't very hot and I can't come up with something situational in time. It's very much intended to be a backhanded compliment. Not a great result here but has worked for me before. I've also used in Walmart and I'm sure a few other similar venues in the past.
