Scenario: You're walking in the mall and see a moving set. (They could be seated at a table, too, but let's assume that they're walking.) They're walking in the same direction as you are, then, just as you're about to pass them (or you could be walking in front of them), you open over your shoulder and say,

"Hey, this is my first time in this mall, and I'm trying to find [store name]. Do you guys know where it is?"

Now, one of two things could happen: 1) The set does know where the store is and are happy to give you directions, and 2) The set doesn't know where the store is and apologizes for their not-knowingness. In either case, I don't know what to do when the set does give me directions as to where the store is, as they're probably anticipating me to leave them alone once I have the information that I needed. But then again, in the other case, they're probably still anticipating me to leave them alone once I know that they can't help me out!

So what could I do after the target (or targets) answers my question, both in the "I know/I don't know" cases? I used this opener countless of times at malls, and right when the targets answers my question, I thank them for their time and "look for the store", but I know I could do better than that! So what should I do when the targets answer my question?

The problem is , it's not a good opener for where you are in your pick up journey. You have conquered a simple mall opener that's suggested only to get newbies talking. It's like a beginners opening where you have little rejection possibility, but where do you go with it afterwards? There's really no where logical except "ok thanks".

I've thought about getting in to more mall pick up than I do and it seems it would be easier outside the mall in the lot or sidewalk. Inside it's kind of fast paced. Girls are wanting to get from store to store and usually what is on their mind is what they are buying and rather or not asshole so and so gonna like it.

I guess if I were to try mall pick up I would go with 2 purposes; buy something and walking for exercise. I would set outside a store even if inside the mall, on a bench. If you make eye contact with someone who comes and stands within talking distance that's a good sign. Maybe she will text someone and you can ask something about her phone. If you wanted to walk around and chase you could say something like "are you finding everything you need today?" like you worked there. The worst thing she could say would be "do you work here" you could say "no i just wondered". Then maybe you've got a convo going.

Another thing which is pretty much to late in the season is "have you done all your xmas shopping" or "what did you get your mother for xmas" If you were breezing through the parking lot taking an out of the way route to your car just for exercise, you might stop a girl getting in or out of her car and say "does that have a v6 in it" Little innocent off the wall stuff can get them talking.

One thing to remember about mall pick up is that eventually someone will have security get in your ass unless you are lucky or real slick.

NOOOOOOO! VERY LOW RISK

GOOOOO RISK BIG MAN RISK BIG! GO DIRECT AS POSSIBLE

watch Lahwf holding hands in youtube, he sees a girl walk by and he holds her hands and they look at each other and they smile. thats the way things should go and in a set like the mall where theres large open space plenty of walking girls do that!

walk to a girl and the direction shes going and take her hand and SMILE, if you dont smile you look terryfing cuz your not giving her the signal that your friendly.

I tried it 3 times each with different girls and it went very well
