I am new on here. I have read the game several times and read some stuff online, and lately even on here. I understand the terms, get the point of things, but I am not sure of the order.

In particular my question in how do you transition from the opener and saying "well, let me get your opinion" into taking it to looking for IOIs and trying to close. Like I guess after the opener and before the close is what I am asking about.

What goes in here?

Time restraints on the opener "well, ive got to go in a sec to meet a mate but let met get your opinion"

And you are thinking quite a lot into it, just go, have fun, dont think about nothing and go with the flow until you have to leave to see your mate and close good luck

You seem to be thinking too much into it, doing all the research and none of the practice, honestly i don’t know half the terms and i have never read the game, i don’t call the stages a1,a2,a3 or whatever... Like you i watched some material and didn’t do anything about it for a bit, then one day (looking like a bag of crap i might add!) i decided to try it, and god for bid i got a friendly reaction... then just worked my way from there, going indirect for a bit then trying direct and now i feel i am progressing well

As "Straight Up" said just go out, have fun, practice going indirect, then when you think you can handle it open direct and fun with it, the point of the interaction shouldn’t be to close the point should be having fun, it will show if you are having fun or focusing on number closing... frankly i don’t always number close, i don’t always Facebook close, but i ALWAYS have fun, and when a girl is smiling and laughing it has its own reward, especially when they seemed a little upset so couldn’t have been having a very good day before i approached
