Post subject:  My first approach ever!

and it was awesome!

I think you guys might get a kick out of this story, as many of you are in the same boat as me.

First, a little background…

I've had some success with women, but it's all come from either my social circles or, lately, the Internet. I rationalized for a while that I was too busy to approach women in real life so I went online, but I finally realized I was just being a big baby and should step up to the plate and actually risk rejection. So that's what I did yesterday.

After I got done with my usual stuff, I realized I had to buy a can opener. I also realized this would be a perfect opportunity to do my first approach of a woman. I arrived at Walmart about 30 minutes later and found that – go figure – there aren't very many attractive women hanging around that place.

I actually saw a cute-ish older woman checking out CDs, so I went to check out CDs next to her. Before I could think of anything to say, she had walked off. Surprisingly, I still wasn't very nervous this point, although the cockiness I felt before (I had totally amped myself up) I actually walked into the store was gone. I was at least slightly anxious.

So I left electronics and walked around the store like a predator, looking down different aisles for any vacant females I could find. I only wanted to approach one. My goal was to ask her for her number and nothing more.

Just as I was deciding that I might as well approach a little old lady and get it done with, I found a pretty cute black girl working in the pet department. I quickly decided I was going to lie my ass off.

I asked her if she could show me where the cat food was because I was getting a cat the next week (I hate cats. I will never have a cat). She seemed to think it was really cute and we had a nice little conversation. The dialogue went something like this:

Me: Hey, can you show me where the cat food is?
Her: Sure, it's over here.
Me: Yeah I'm actually getting a cat next week.
Her: Aww that is cute. -walks to cat food-
Me: Okay, I only want the best for my cat.
Her: -explains differences between dry and wet cat food-
Me: Wait a minute, do you even have a cat?
Her: Well no, but my friend does...
Me: -interrupts- Well then how could you give me advice!
Her: -giggles- I did a bunch of training okay!
Me: -Can't think of a good way to segue into asking for number- Alright I'll pick the wet cat food. Thanks.
Her: Okay have a nice day.

So, we seem to get along but I had no idea how to actually ask her for her number. I decided that I would – again, go figure – just grow some balls and ask for it.

Before I tell you about that, one interesting point - during my conversation with her, it was hard for me to actually focus on what she was saying. I wasn't really nervous, but I had an intense buildup of energy. Like, I remember I literally felt energy shooting from my fingertips. I felt like I was going out to wrestle a lion or something. It was very intense.

So anyway, I decided to walk by her again and chose this approach:

Me: -walking by- Hey, found it.
Her: you only got one can?! (oops, a little transparent here)
Me: Haha yeah, so look, I don't usually do this but you have a good vibe about you. Can I get your number?
Her: My number? Well, I have a boyfriend.
Me: Aww okay, see ya.

That was it. I didn't get the number, but I don't really care. I felt amazing. I'm not really sure that she had a boyfriend – she could have just not that interested – but I didn't feel any real sense of rejection. I actually felt like a total champ for doing it.

After it happened, I found myself wanting to approach more and more girls. It almost like an addiction was starting. It was SUCH a rush.

The most hilarious part is that I didn't have the guts to walk right by her and put the cat food back on the shelf, so I went and hid it in a different apartment and left the store. I also didn't get the can opener. Oh well.

---

So, for any of you guys who have been wanting to approach girls – do it. It's easy, and chances are even if they're not interested they will let you down easily. It's also a hell of a lot of fun.

Hey budd, glad you actually had fun on the field, thing I find the most important cuz if you dont have fun, it becomes a chore right ? Anyways, you probably did ask for her number too early and if you only talked about cat food I highly doubt a girl would give you her number after talking about something she works with everyday (giving advice about pet stuff). I did like your cocky funny line (the one where you ask the girl if she as any cats :P). From the cat food you could have smoothly transfered to other topics like her opinion on other stuffs. You also couldve done a couple of routines that would seem apropriate at the time, theres a bunch of good ones on here or even be creative. It's all up to you and Im pretty sure if you wouldve had kept it going a little more, you possibly couldve had closed ;).

The other thing is when a girl tells me she has a boyfriend or hints towards that, I know it might seem bad but I like trying to use some boyfriend destroyer techniques, I dont do that to girls who seem madly in love neither, Im not the type of guy whos gonna wreck a marriage or something like this but if the girl seems to have an ordinary or shitty relationship, why not ?

On that note, a couple of important points, first keep the conversation going and shift topics, second: Its great you had fun and if it makes you want to approach more its even better, Third: rejection shouldnt be taken badly, you gotta get rejected to close later on ;) and Fourth: IM sorry you didnt get a can opener but eh it gives you another chance to go sarge again :)
