ive read alot of pua books, probably all the most popular ones. the majority of them teach that saying hi and hello can realeave some approach anxiety. i dont believe in this. the stress for me was, i was scared of how theyd react when i put myself right in front of her and stop her for somethin. saying hi and hello didnt help me cuz id just keep walkin. the way i did it was to make a situation to stop a girl, but with no risk. i did it by simply walkin up to girls and saying, " hey excuse me, sorry to bother u, but do u know what time it is? im killin time and i left my phone in the car". this got me used to womens reactions when id stop them. plus we have all had to ask someone the time before so it didnt feel weird. it helped me alot. i hope this is helpfull for some people. let me know wat u think

If it helped you great. I understand your point, but I disagree a little.

In my opinion, the point of saying hi to strangers is to, like you said, to realeave some approach anxiety. If you are confortable enough to say hi to strangers, then their reactions will not bother you because you are in control of yourself so you will know what to say in case of a strange answer from the stranger.

But like I said, if it helped you it's great, I am sure it can helps others.

You can use anything as an ice breaker, but a *good* icebreaker keeps you in set a long time, is more interactive and is fun for both parties. Answering a request for the time can be answered in literally two or three seconds, not really giving you time to stack into your next bit. It's also a stereotypical "guy" question, meaning that men like to exchange facts and details whereas women communicate through their emotions.

im just posting so i can get to 20...haha

Day game is extremely different from night game in an approaching sense... I'm glad that you recognize that you need a legitamate reason to talk to them...

However, the most difficult part of day game is realizing that its a hit or miss. If your confident i'd say theres a 90 percent chance she'll talk to you. and 40 percent chance she'll end up giving you her number. Day game is 100 percent confidence based nothing else..

What you do need to know is that nothing is more unattractive to a girl than a guy beating around the bush to talk to her. .. What works the best is simply, "Hi, your something else, and if i didn't stop to talk to you i'd be kicking myself all day (with a smile)." Your confessing your attraction and having enough balls to engage in a convo makes you come off as honest and confident..

Starting a convo from "what time it is?" is really weak. You dont' need to stop a hot girl for that..
