I am pretty new to pickup although I am skilled in NLP and hypnosis. I use traditional clinical hypnosis and NLP to help clients and naturally I am looking to use my skills for pickup since it is something I know a bit about. What skills do think are most useful to focus on in the beginning (anchoring, embedded commands, ambiguity, ect) and how can I open a girl with NLP? I like to walk up to a girl say hello, my name is, and after that its all NLP. I have studied Ross Jeffries and he is VERY skilled but when I speak with a woman I am not going to use patterns since they are a lot to remember and come off artificial. It seems better to simply slip in bit of NLP while talking to a woman. Any advice, tips, techniques or skills worth working on would be great. It is different using embedded commands in conversation than it is using them in a clinical setting so any advice on how make them flow more smoothly and way to practice is good.
