Hey guys,
Ive copied this straight out of my field report, so give that a read for the full story,
but to the point here's the juicy bit:
"How i did it was this:
I went to House of Fraser, (shop) and picked out the first 5+ girl i could see, and i merely asked where the men's clothes department was, she directed, smiled at each other and i left.
- a completely innocent question with no intention of pulling her.
Funnily enough, i had no problem saying hello to her, speaking to her, smiling or asking questions. Why? - because i didnt have it on my mind that i was interesting in her or getting her number.
- i remembered that feeling - or the lack of it i should say of any anxiety.
I told myself the next girl i want to talk to, ill be completely innocent about it, and talk to her just to find out about her, just like asking for directions.
The next girl that made eye contact with me and smiled, i walked back after.
i said: "hi, my names XXX, i saw you walking by and i thought you looked really nice, i had to come back and say hi, and find out your name.
we talked back and forth for a bit, and well i did get her name but not her number.. she said she had a boyfriend and walked off..."
So if your struggling give this a try!
Edit: any further breakthroughs ill put on the field report, dont want to fill this thread with every success
Cheers,
Boyo
