Hey Guys Let's say you had trouble meeting someone you like. His/her friends are nearby. Is it possible to get one of the friends/mates to introduce you to the liked person? How would the convo sound like? |

I use his number close ALL the time. Like literally ALL the time. It only takes a second to do and works great. Another good book that does apply to pickup is by Susan Jeffers, "Feel The Fear and Do It Anyways".

Ok, I'll bite since this seems to be the one area I appear to have the most problem getting ahead in. I have no problems introducing myself to a girl in a social setting, its moving past that, that I have a HUGE problem with. One of the main reasons is that I seem to have 'what if' questions that start popping into my head, like what if she has a boyfriend or husband, what if she is too young (although thats not much of an issue since I look a lot younger myself, but I digress), and the big one...what if I make a complete arse of myself. So yeah, when I start talking to a girl I am interested in, I begin to think of what is the absolute worst that could happen, and that seems more painful than playing it safe (and sometimes ignoring the signals that she is sending). |

That whole planned script allows you to get in there and get out. It stops you from thinking about what is going on and lets you stay in the moment. Also, it gives you a great exit strategy so that there are no awkward moments and you also don't have to think of anything to say. Does that help at all? By the way, if you are going to assume, assume in your FAVOR. Assume she will be single, assume she will like you, assume she is attracted to you and so on. Every time one of those negative thoughts pop up, replace it with it's opposite. "What if she doesn't like me?" becomes "She will like me" and so on. Also you could spend a few minutes each day imaging yourself as being really successful with women. After that you could tell yourself affirmations such as "I am great with women" "I am confident around women" "Women are attracted to me" and so on. You will literally be retraining your brain for success with women. Last edited by TonyToneTone; 11-05-2008 at 05:40 AM. | |

I have a problem with the question itself. I just have huge blocks in asknig a girl in any kind of way. Can I just turn around and ask them out in a genuine and honest way? I've got lots of friends, many of them female, but I have almost zero experience in the romantic arena. I just can't take the first step so to speak. |

Of course, all the pickup and rehearsed lines in the world are not going to do me any good unless I actually get out to events/clubs where I will have a chance to interact with the fairer sex. And I have, I signed up for a half marathon running clinic, an outdoor club, and a toastmasters club for singles. All of these things are subjects that I am interested in, but at the same time they all seem to have a lot of female participants (especially the running clinic). My immediate goal right now is just to get myself out there and get used to talking to/flirting with women again. If I get a couple of phone #'s, great! If not, it doesn't really matter because I can use the experiences in other areas of my life and at least it allows me to practice. | |

| Awesome blog! That was a great article and has motivated me to actually do more of this stuff - but with different intent now. Before it was to fill a hole inside of me. Now it will be to develop myself - my social skills and getting out of my comfort zone.

So many guys when they want to get a girl's number talk to the girl, say ALL this stuff, dangle there too long, and leave an awkward finish. This gets the job done and usually in less then one minute. | |

Had a subtle, but significant breakthrough this weekend, wanted to share. I usually go out with a pretty cool group of friends, and we usually are a (if not THE) center of attention wherever we go. As I've mentioned above, however, I've had trouble approaching women outside my circle -- even when given very strong indicators of interest (strong eye contact w/ smile, etc.). Basically, I felt that my "attraction game" was huge, but I had nowhere to go from there. Lame. So maybe I had too many vodka-redbulls out on the town this weekend, but I turned into a number-collecting machine -- THIS approach worked very well (inspired, I'm sure, by TTT): "Oh WOW, look at that smile/that strut/you!! What is your name?? Hi, I'm driven1. (hug or handshake) Oh man, I'm being rude to my friends -- I gotta get back with them, but it's great to meet you. Hey, you want to grab a drink next week? Cool, what's your number?" It's flake-prone, for sure, but at least I'm opening the freakin conversation -- might I add with some very beautiful women. (Seriously, one looked just like Angelina Jolie, lips and all...) The next step for me is either building rapport/comfort up front or after the fact (SMS seems to work well for me), or simply inviting them to a specific event, of which my group has many, and really pulling them into my world. But it's light-years ahead of just chillin with my buds and not pro-actively engaging anybody new. |

What is SMS? I don't know all the pick-up lingo. Great job again! I am very happy and impressed. I am even going to use your opener next time I am at the club | |

SMS = text message. I also have a few girls I met on Facebook, but it's a fine line between woo-ing and stalking -- I tend to err on the side of caution, e.g. if a girl turns me down on a meet-up, I generally don't contact her again. If she doesn't reply at all, I delete her phone number. Is that too harsh?

The moral of the story is that sometimes people have other things going on and might not be able to meet-up that time. If she doesn't reply at all try maybe once or twice more and then let it go. Do it in an easy and relaxed manner? | |
