RE: The Approach Thread
^^

My crazy approach last night.

I'm walking down the street and see a girl standing by the curb futzing with her phone. We lock eyes, so I figure its an easy approach.

Dusty: Looks like your struggling with your phone.

(As I got up close, I realized I'm not that attracted to her but can't eject. Kind of cute face though. A 5 with a 6 face. Short Asian.)

Liz: HA. Yeah, I was out drinking with my friends after work. Hey, you're really cute!

(I could smell the alcohol on her breath)

Dusty: Thanks, how many drinks did you have? HA HA

Liz: No seriously, you're cute. I have a friend who would love you. (Shows me pic of her friend who looks good). Do you want to meet her?

Dusty: Ok sure.

Liz: How old are you? How tall? She's 32. (I answer her questions. Exchange names and numbers. She takes a pic of me for her friend.).

Liz: Are you sure you're not gay? Why aren't you taken?

Dusty: Oh I'm straight, want me to prove it to you right now? (Seinfeld reference)

Liz: Don't tempt me Dusty! Where do you live? HA HA

Dusty: Just a few blocks away.

Liz: Don't tempt me Dusty. HA HA . Seriously, pinch me. I can't believe a cute guy just walks up to me on the street. (I'm thinking, what she isn't going to try to fix me up with her friend now?)

Blah blah. We chatted some more. A lot of effusive praise from her. How well dressed I am, how nice my teeth are, and said "omg so cute" about 10 times. worship It's flattering, but disconcerting too. Now I know what a chick feels like when a guy does the "your so hot!!" stuff over and over.

I could have definitely made out with her, but I kissed her cheek. The Seinfeld "let me prove I'm straight" joke came up again, and she did the "Where do you live? Don't tempt me!" thing again.

I kind of feel bad for her too. She's acting like she found a man, but I was just practicing my approaches. Needy. She texted me about a half hour later with smiley faces and exclamation points about how I made her day.

I learned a few things being on the "other side." It's nice to be complimented, but a nonchalant "you're cute" once would have been fine. But over and over effusively made me look down on her. Hard to respect her. She has my number, but I already friend zoned her. Of course, I'm sure I would have been ok with it if she was an 8 Wink.

So, it solidified for me what I should do when I go direct. A nonchalant and casual "you look good" or "you're kind of cute" once, then drop it can be very powerful. More than that and you're over-the-top and appear to not have self-respect.

Next steps, if she contacts me, I'll see if I can arrange a happy hour with me and a friend and her and her friends, and maybe there will be some bangable talent in the group.

Take care of those titties for me.

RE: The Approach Thread
Posted this approach on my approach thread
Was the first time I came to the class missed the first one, I sat in her seat and she told me to get up, I said no. She said please then I said sit next to me, she said ok just move over YOU can sit next to me anyway I moved. We talked for a bit and eventually some how I got her to do my classwork for me. Here's the number part.

Me : What's your name again?
Her : -----
Me : (I entered it in my phone in the create contact part then handed it to her for her to enter her number, learnt that from someone on the forum can't remember who tho)
Her : But I don't know you
Me : So
Her : haha, (enters 000000004)
Me : (takes phone, looks foward, looks back at her then I go to my contacts I have my number in my phone under Me then I hand it to her )
Her : She laughs then she takes down my number
Me : I take back the phone and I was like so is 00000004 ur number
Her : no haha it's --------

RE: The Approach Thread
I'm logging my next 20 day approaches, and with each one writing out what they were and how I did well and how I can improve. I'm keeping them in a word file, but I'm going to start putting them here as well. I don't do these daily although I would like to, but I try to get at the very minimum one a week.

This is vastly different to what I used to do when I started day approaching. I'd pick out a day where I'd have 3-4 hours free and hit up a busy mall with a buddy and walk around doing approaches, in between store browsing. I'd end up doing anywhere from one to a dozen approaches where I would often get a number or two that would never lead anywhere.

That was also before I started reading Bang and Day Bang. Implementing the DB method into my day approaches has improved my game tremendously. Not only just in terms of closing, but I now understand interactions better. In the past I'd fire off an interview of personal questions that would only give me a number because it is easy for her to give a number away and just not reply to a text she received.

Furthermore, here are the goals I am aiming for with these 20 approaches:
- 8 numbers
- 3 dates with different girls
- 1 bang from one of the girls I date

I have done 3 approaches so far in my log. I started on September 30th. I have done poorly in that I haven't racked up many approaches so far, but I have done well in that my very first one converted to a number and a couple dates.

Anyways, here is my approach for today:

I was on campus walking to a library to get some work done. On the way there, I was inside the engineering building and walked by an almost empty classroom, with one girl with a maroon shirt and tanned skin. I kept walking and didn't remember seeing her face, only her complexion and thin frame, which was attractive. I walked on for two seconds and turned back.

'Is there going to be a class in here?'
'I dont think so'
'Ok'

I sit down a couple meters away from her and pull out my laptop. I didn't want to give any hint that I walked in there to talk to her, which I did, so I did some work on my computer for 10 minutes.

Then it was time to approach. I thought about commenting on her laptop, or her running shoes, but I opted for the classroom instead. After some hesitation I blurted out something along the lines of is it always so quiet to study around here. She gave some mindless response. I commented on how I study in other buildings usually and I like the library, but I wanted to change it up a bit. She gave her 2c, and I asked her why she prefers doing work in an empty classroom over a library. She mentioned having a class coming up across the hall in a bit.

I rambled about something I can't remember, dropping some bait, looking to hear questions. She asked about my program after she mentioned hers for a minute. Then somehow I got on the topic of travelling in the states and she vibed with it. She asked where I am from when I mentioned studying abroad in my home country and not having to pay international fees.

It all sounds good on paper, but I wasn't feeling a strong connection. She wasn't giving short curt replies, but she'd always go back to looking at her laptop and wouldn't make much eye contact while speaking.

I proceeded into Galnuc after 5 minutes of rambling, and was once again accurate with the half-German question. Roosh is money on this one.

She talked about her background. Didn't ask me about mine specifically, although she knows I am South American. a/l were done already, so after a brief silence I asked 'what is your name by the way'

She gave me her name, which was Japanese, as I learned she was half Japanese and German. I paused for a second, she didn't ask me my name, and I cut the silence mentioning how I had never heard her name before. She told me how it means something in Japanese. Then a normal silence, and she didn't ask me my name.

I assumed she wasn't interested enough. If she was, she would have asked for it, right?

I went back to work and she left a couple minutes later to go to class, giving me a good bye.

I think it was a pretty good interaction, I did well as I spoke in a good normal tone and not overly enthusiastic or energetic, as sometimes I have an issue carrying over my night game to day approaches.

I feel like I might have had to ramble a bit more though.

Maybe?

Or, just ask her more emotionally engaging questions?

I think rambling, in general, is a little overrated..

Often times, guys talk but the girl is not really listening. Rambling is not effective if the girls is not interested in what your saying. First, we must capture their attention.

Ramble With a Purpose!

Be specific -- Ask her open ended questions about her "feelings", drop "bait", talk about things that you both have in common. Don't just talk to talk. Talk to engage her feelings/emotions.

Getting her to ramble is better then rambling yourself.

Rambling has evolved since Roosh wrote "Bang". This is Rambling 2.0?

RE: The Approach Thread
I was at the bank. I saw a tall, cute, thin, blond talking to a teller..

I thought about what to do? Should I open her in the bank? Leave when she leaves so I could meet her at the door? Wait for her outside?

I wasn't sure..? I went outside and waited for her to exit. I watched her through the glass window. When she started to walk out, I got out my phone, turned off the ringer and started a Fake Phone Call. I wanted it to appear like I was entering the bank as she was exiting. Basically, meeting her just after she walked out of the bank.

She walked out, I was on the phone. Immedietley, I raised my voice and said -- "yes, no problem, just email me, ok , chau!"

I made sure she could hear me. I spoke in my big boy voice. I hung up as she took out her car keys and started open a car with a University of Texas sticker.

"Go Longhorns", I quickly said.

She smiled.

me: how long have you been in California?
her: 6 months
me: wow welcome
her: thanks
me: how are you liking it so far?
her: i love it
me: is it different from texas?
her: yes, a lot different


Blah, blah, blah.. We chatted for 2 minutes about Cali vs Texas.

me: I gotta run but do you wanna grab a drink sometime?
her: oh, im flattered but i have to tell you that im spoken for.


Fuck! Next!

*****

20 minutes later I was at the store. I see a cutie in the produce section. I notice that she has "Lucky Charms" cereal in her basket. I decide that I will open her about the Lucky Charms.

I walk over as she is looking at cucumbers. I go right next to her like I don't see her, I grab a plastic produce bag, I say -- "excuse me" and I reach across her and grab 2 cucumbers.

I start to walk away and then I pretend that I notice the Lucky Charms for the first time.

me: hey lucky charms, those used to be my favorite
her: ha
me: that used to be my favorite dessert
her: oh they are not for me, they're for my brother
me: oh what cereal do you like
her: i don't know, honey nut cheerios or chex
me: ya i like those too, are you on a diet or something, i can see you eat a lot of healthy stuff
her: im not on a diet but i do try to eat clean
me: good, you dont need to diet
her: lol
me: can i ask you a personal question?
her: huh
me: do you date spanish guys?
her: what?
me: i wanted to ask you if you date spnaish guys because your cute and I wanna have a beer or something with you sometime?
her: no thank you


She walked away.

Next!

I just like to practice on cute girls.

RE: The Approach Thread
About the ramble. I think there needs to be substance to the words,if that makes sense.Not sure if I used the right word for this.To share an experience, one time a fwb invited a friend of hers out for drinks with us to meet my close friend to see if they could hit it off.The friend and my friend talked.I noticed he did most of the talking.I wasn't particularly paying attention to the conversation as my date and I had our own.Later when my girl has a chance she tells me "she says he's talking alot but he's not saying anything.".I always remember that now for myself.I didn't have the heart to tell him that back then,and at the moment I didn't know what to tell him that could change things.but those words stuck with me.

and talking a lot and not saying anything it what girls do, a feminine trait and probably turned her off. theres a time and place for it. roosh talks about rambling endlessly about a pair of socks in day bang but thats during the very first part of the approach. later on its more about substance (rapport) and attraction

I've noticed this for sure. If I ramble for a minute or two after initially opening her and she doesn't chime in at all, then the approach is more than likely dead.

If however she asks a question, or relates to what I am saying and starts to drop her own opinion, it's obviously better.

I had a successful approach a couple weeks ago that had her meet me out after and she actually took over the rambling and in the latter part of the conversation she was actually doing most of the talking.

RE: The Approach Thread
Getting her to ramble means that she is investing more into the interaction. You want her to open up and share deep feelings and emotions. When people open up to you, they feel more connected to you.

It's important to be a good listener and ask good probing questions. Open ended questions that guide her towards emotional closeness with you. You want her to get comfortable sharing her secrets with you. Thats the goal, at least.

Roosh wrote "Bang" years ago. His game has evolved a lot since then. I think his concept of "rambling" has also evolved. In "Bang", "rambling" is described as a tool/skill to help you prolong a conversation. Its a concept to help newbies.

As your game gets better, I think its important the Ramble With A Purpose.

Ramble to engage her hamster. Ramble to engage her emotions. Ramble to invite her to ramble.

Also, don't forget to playfully tease her occasionally. They are all insecure. Identify her insecurities and tease her about them, WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE!

RE: The Approach Thread
I didn't approach this one soroity Pokemon that was in the library last night. My hamster rationalized not to because there was a guy there talking to her.

People in the chat even told me what to say!

I choked. I'll admit it.

RE: The Approach Thread
Approach #4.

Saw her outside the train, standing still as the train pulled in. I was about 10 meters away, staring off into the distance. I pull out my phone and have a fake phone conversation as the train stops, and we both walk in.

I let her walk in first as I talk about something random. I follow her slowly and sit near her, without making eye contact. I talk for about 3-4 minutes, as I knew the train was stopping for about 10 before it would move again. From then on, I would have about another 10 before my stop.

I end my conversation and make a comment on her phone.

'Is that the new iPhone 5?'
'No its the 4S'
'Oh. I can't really tell the difference'
'Yeah they are similar, except x,y,z'
'I see. I'm thinking about getting a new phone and upgrading' (not really)

From the on we rambled about phones for another minute or two. I gave her bait by suggesting while I was travelling in the summer everyone abroad had iPhones. She mentioned how back home in Venezuela she saw the same thing. I made a couple questions that were a bit personal to her background, when she interrupts:

'What's your name?'

From then on it was easy.

It's almost as if she noticed I was asking her some personal questions without giving one of her own. Maybe she has read Day Bang Smile

Got her number and will text her in a couple days. She had huge sunglasses on so before I left I told her to talk them off so I could see her face. Her face is okay, but I have to say my whole motivation to approach was a nice ass and legs that were advertised by her yoga pants.

If there is one thing I should have done was give her a handshake with both hands good-bye. I want to get some contact in as well.

RE: The Approach Thread
Approach #5

I woke up at 6 am this morning. Arrived on campus at 730, wrote a midterm at 830.

Went to the gym, had a gruelling workout that consisted of 20 rep squats.

Had two hours of class after a short break, then another short break before a class at 7. Two more hours, followed by another midterm at 9.

Point I'm trying to make is: I had a hell of a day. Add to that the fact it's Monday.

I'm on the bus commute home, getting off at the station again and I see a cute black haired girl with raised leather boots. I follow her in the train a few steps behind as I pull out my phone for another fake phone call..

I sit near her and continue my conversation. I don't make any acknowledgement of her being there. I talk in Portuguese for 5 minutes in a relaxed, laid back tone, giving the fact it is a Monday night. I end my call, take a drink out of my water bottle, and look at her a few meters away, and she is facing me.

Direct eye contact with a smile is how she receives me looking at her.

I blurted something out - 'Quiet train on Monday's huh?'

She was very enthusiastic and open to conversation. Talked briefly about night classes and how much they suck, and after a minute or two she asks me what may major is. From there I ask about hers. I find out she is doing a double major and overloading her terms so she is going to finish a year quicker than me - we are the same age. Impressive considering she works two jobs as well.

That might prove logistically difficult for dates, as getting her number was easy. I ran Galnuc, running out of gas quickly and failing to ramble in between at all. I was exhausted.

Fortunately, she rambled like crazy. She did 60-70% of the talking after I opened. I did get a few laughs and with the laid back tone listening I feel that might have been enough to build enough of a connection to get her out with me. This time I said it was nice meeting you and shook her hand to get some more contact in.

Also, while putting her number in, I was putting it in slowly and between pauses I'd make eye contact, and I did feel some tension.

Question: Evidently not all girls can ramble and take over conversation like this. The previous approach I had a post up I did most of the talking. But when you do find a girl who is receptive to you and enjoys talking a lot, that is a good sign right?

Seems like she may have kind of been into you. I recall my college days, and study dates, sometimes was all I could fit in, yet even study dates can lead to something... change of venue.. a drink... a coffee... etc. etc.

Yes.

It doesn't always mean that she wants to fuck you but at least you know that she is comfortable talking to you.

*****

Yesterday, I was at a grocery store. I see a tall, thin, fat assed cutie pie. She walked past me in the parking lot and I thought about saying something but I decided to wait and catch her in the store. I quickly grabbed my items and tried to keep an eye on her. She got in line, I tried to get in line behind her but another guy beat me to it. Just then, another line opened and I went to it. She was paying so I quickly paid. I WANTED TO ARRIVE AT THE EXIT DOOR AT THE SAME TIME! This makes everything seem like good luck or serendipity.

I slowed my walk to create the perfect timing. She exited the store and I was right behind her. She stopped to untie her dog. I walking walking right past her..

me: he is ready for his dinner
her: yes, she hasn't eaten all day because her brother knocked over an entire box of food.
me: oh my gosh, she is hungry
her: huskies are always hungry
me: what a beautiful dog, look at those blue eyes
her: yes, they were grey as a puppy but they became blue, huskies are blah, blah, blah..
me: They sound like cool dogs
her: she is 50% wolf
me: oh thats why you 2 get along so well, lol
her: lol

We walked and talked for about 3 minutes..

me: you are from Russia?
her: No, I'm from Ukraine but its very similiar
me: oh interesting


Blah, blah, blah.. We get to a fork inthe road..

me: hey, um, can i call you sometime?
her: oh, no, im extremely busy working 2 jobs
me: well, maybe just on the weekends..
her: lol sorry


Next!

She was beautiful though. What a body!

brilliant, this line Smile Will use, given the opportunity. You deserved her phone number and more, and if she had still been living in the Ukraine, you would have got it. But, if she already made it to the First World, she does not need to open legs anymore. Sad, considering.

RE: The Approach Thread
I just did an approach right out of Day Bang.I was lazy all weekend and didn't do any approaches. Come Sunday at 4pm I decided I needed to do at least one approach. So I went to the coffee shop.

Girl in front of me in line is young, petite, and cute. She has big headphones on connected to her iPhone and bobbing around to her music:

Me: Are those good headphones?
Her: Yes, they are Sony.
Me: And that's an iphone right, your plugged into an iphone?
Her: Yes, its plugged into my iphone.
Me: Are they better than earbuds?
Her: Oh yes, so much better..blah blah.
Me: You're not from here are you?
Her: Not born here but lived here three years. <blushes and looks doggie bowl eyed at me and smiles> What made you think I'm not from here?
Me: I don't know, I guess I think I have a 6th sense sometimes. But you are not a tourist so in this case I was wrong.

She orders her tea and juice. We continue talking. She leaves the juice there as she walks away. The cashier tells her she forgot it. That's good, I got her little rattled.

I order my drink, which I have to wait for. She is standing by the area where one waits for their drink even though she had her stuff. In retrospect, waiting for me?

Me: Ok, so where are you from then?
Her: From the middle east.
Me: I don't meet many people from the middle east. Thats very cool. What brings you here?
Her: I go to art school. I plan on getting an MBA then.

<I amped up the body language. Got into her personal space. Stared into her eyes in a dominating way (looking down at her). She seemed to reciprocate. Looked up at me with puppy dog eyes.>

Me: Where are you applying?
Her: All over the US.
Me: I went to XYZ.
Her: Really!!? I'm applying there. Is it good??
Me: Yes, life changing blah blah.
Her: Did you make a lot of friends?
Me: Yes, life long friends. You won't be lonely in MBA school, they force you too work in groups.
blah blah.

My drink arrives.

Me: Are you waiting for a drink?
Her: <acts a little rattled and awkward>. No I have mine, I better go. It was really nice talking to you.

<she headed out the door>

I catch up to her outside.

me: Yes, nice talking to you. Do you wanna grab a drink sometime?
Her: Yes.
Me: Here put your number in my phone. (handed her my phone)

<types her name and number in my phone>

me: Do you like to drink now and then?
Her: Yes, but not too much.
Me: Yeah me too. Moderation. I know this new place XYZ, we should check it out.
Her: I never heard of it, but yeah that sounds good.

Nice. Early 20's. Nice little body. Nice ass wearing yoga style pants.

Take care of those titties for me.

Yeah... Dusty, once you opened her, she seemed to be doing a lot of the gaming... Smile Smile Smile or at least, seemed to be making the convo easy.

Probably, you would have kicked yourself if you had NOT followed through with getting the number in those circumstances?

Yeah, that was an exciting one! She's probably around 23, and I'm 48 Smile. She's around an 8.

Day game is great. If I were in a club and she was dressed to the 9's surrounded by her friends, I don't think I'd have a shot. But opening in a coffee shop when she was not expecting it gives you an "in."

As well as it went I was still surprised when she agreed to give me her number. Of course, I acted nonchalant like young hot chicks give me their number all the time.

I got the mechanics down of getting a number in my phone, which is a small thing but should not be neglected. No fumbling. I smoothly get to the screen were you add a new contact, get to it quickly, then put the phone in her hand.

One thing I try not to think too much about is how many of these opportunities I missed over the years until I conquered by approach anxiety in my mid/late 40's. Better late than never I suppose!

Take care of those titties for me.

Nice-- most people aren't scanning for pretense all the time and will assume you were really on the phone. I think it makes you seem less unfamiliar when you open them.

I'm in my 40s too, so I can relate to the angle you are describing.

Rather than your getting her phone number, actually, I think the further commitment in this situation to some extent came from your suggesting a place and an activity (going for the drink at a new place) and that she readily agreed to the activity. Of course you can likely work out some of the logistic details and maybe even change the plan via text (if needed), since you have her number, but I think that it is good, if possible to attempt to discuss a specific activity early on while you are meeting with a girl for the first time to see how she reacts.

And, if she is giving you googlie eyes, then that can help as well to demonstrate that she is interested in various proposals or to identify something in the conversation that provides a hook, such as when you mentioned how easy it is to meet people in business class groups.. which sometimes may end up causing some discussion of going for drinks as business people tend to do. ... or when she said she if from the middle east, she did not identify, which part, but that could cause you to make a proposal that may relate to that comment (even though it would be bad if you guessed the wrong kind of activity, so it may have deserved further probing as to which part of the middle east - if that does not make her uncomfortable).

Personally, I have found that there is less likelihood of flaking when you get into some discussion of specifics in the first meeting and even having a specific place in mind that is "new".. but frequently, it can be hard to come up with ideas or even flowing with the conversation, unless practicing...

RE: The Approach Thread
I'm still amazed at how flattered many hot chicks are to be approached during the day. Totally different than at bars where they act like high and mighty bitches. I wish I knew this 25 years ago. When they don't have their friends there, and aren't expected to be hit on, it just changes their psychology. They turn into nervous awkward dorks who seem to be turned on by the dominate guy who is confident and calm and who is steering the social interaction so that it works.

Take care of those titties for me.

RE: The Approach Thread
I was at the bookstore yesterday and saw a girl sitting on the floor (red flag) with tarot cards scattered around her (green flag). I blurted out "What are those?" and she looked at me without skipping a beat and delivered the worst blow out ever: "None of your business. Leave me alone.

I froze because I never anticipated such a rude response. After a 2-3 second wait I said "Nice." and walked away.

Exactly!

When they hear you talking for a few moments/minutes, they get a chance to observe and "feel" your vibe. The way you talk, the power in your voice, the sound of your voice, etc. I often like to make a few jokes also just to soften the moment and add some humor to the situation.

Of course, this is all BEFORE the approach!

I've found that this can be very helpful in turning a COLD approach into LUKEWARM or WARM approach.

I breakdown this technique in more detail here:

Yes, its really another world isn't it?

I think the reason is that at night, everyone is approaching them but during the day, no one is approaching them. So, when it happens, its sort of a novelty. It's a rarity. They have to respect it and appreciate it.

This will happen ocasionally. There are some crazy people out there. There are also some people with poor social skills and people who simply are not in the mood to meet a stranger.

Just ignore them and move on.

Don't give them any power by having an emotional reaction.

Approach another girl as soon as possible.
