Hi, guys. I'm brand new to PU and I decided to try it out. I was sitting in the college library and an HB8 was sitting across from me. Knowing that if I lingered too long I'd punk myself out I just gave it a shot.

me: "Hey, can I ask you something?"
her: "Sure!"
me: "My friends and I are doing a survey and I want your expert female opinion. Would you date a guy if he had a fake leg?"
her: fluff
me: "Like, even if he had this super obvious robot leg?"
she laughed. more fluff.
me(bailing out and trying to avoid looking like a creep): "Well, I'm glad you have a good heart."
and we both continued about our business. even though it was a successful social transaction i'm not satisfied. i want go all the way.

I blanked. I didn't know how to continue the conversation. What would you guys have done?[/

great opener, you built some rapport as well. I'd say you did well, only extra you could have added was to start packing up your books etc as she is talking and look as if you are about to leave and maybe taken the conversation in a different direction, maybe asked her what she looks for in men other than robocop style limbs.
Some of the other guys will probably be able to help you out more, I seem to be good at opening and building rapport in day game but thats about it, resulting in lots of day friends lol.

Don't sweat it man, you broke the barrier inside yourself and approached a girl.

Yes, you made mistakes but they are easily fixed.
First don't approach asking if you can ask a question. Just ask it
"real quick, I have to get back with my friends. would you date a guy with a prosthetic leg?" last thing you want is a survey. that makes her impatient and loose interest. Act as though you are in a hurry and turn your body as if you are ready to leave as soon as she answers

she answers. You have successfully opened.

"The reason I am asking is my friend and I were just having this disscussion and...." this roots the set. continue with the leg story. Don't forget the negs and DHVs. Throw some kino in there as well. Casual, friendly touch like on the shoulder or arm. AVOID any sexual touching or even thoughts of sex. Women can vibe on that shit.

Make like you are about to leave and pivot on your feet. return immediately and start the next routine.

" by the way, how do you know each other?"
we're best friends
"I could totally tell, you see when two people are best friends-how about I just show you. Lets do the 'best friends' test." Now you are in. do the test and have fun. You can throw in a magic trick or something but don't over due it. Now it's time for "regular conversation."

It might be helpful to use some canned stories at first to help you get into the habit of keeping a conversation going. But as you get better you will learn your own stories are pretty good. just make sure they show higher value and not lower. Tell her about the time you volunteered for the church and not the that it was court ordered community service.

being as you are new, I would suggest a number close. Unless you get good ioi's and are brave enough for a kiss close.
"Okay, I really do have to get going now. We should continue this conversation another time. How would I get a hold of you?" If you made it this far, a number close should be no problem. Continue talking with her for another five minutes or so she doesn't feel like you were only after her number

I think you get the idea. I am new to this as well so I am using a lot of canned material for now. But it works. Just today, I was hat shopping and used the hat as an opener. "Girls, i need your opinion on something." I went all the way to the best friends routine but I was seriously ready to leave. I did so well they wanted me to stay. It's too bad they were jail bait.

I made an outline with the routines I planned to use. I follow it closely and try to avoid dead air. I lost a HB11 last night do to dead air.

Thanks for the input.

There was a moment afterwards in which I was certain I could have introduced myself to her but my gut feeling told me that it would some how come across like I was assuming a subordinate position just because I approached with that level of introduction first. Am I right?

I understand what you mean. I have to fight my anxiety pretty hard. Especially when she is super hot. I try to stick with a canned opener so I don't have to be concerned about what I say. When I know what to say, I can focus more on my body language.

Walking up confident and smiling automatically gives you the authority to interrupt her.

I have been learning some NLP and there is a trick you can do to program yourself with confidence. Think of your best set or a victory in your favorite hobby. Draw on how that made you feel and internalize it. remember and experience the sights and sounds. take that good feeling you have and multiply it 10 times. Feel the confidence expounded and let it flow through you. Now make an OK sign. Bring your index finger and thumb together and say "Power." Now every time you make that symbol and say "Power" you will recall that moment and the feelings associated with it. Just before approaching a set, do that trigger.
