haven't posted in a long time...but not out of the game yet. It's been a few months and my inner game is pretty solid....and that is very important. My back story is that I go to a university where it is chock full of beautiful women it's actually been rated #2 as having some of the hottest girls on campus by playboy magazine..but anyways

short story..I was sitting with my buddy and we were having lunch and he went to go get some more food but i noticed across the table there was a cute blonde girl sitting in front of me so i said
Me-"hi!"
her-"hi."
me-"hi I noticed that you were sitting by yourself and i was wondering if you would like to join me and my friend for lunch..?"
her- "no it's okay....sometimes i like to eat by myself ya know?"
(i can tell by her body language and face that she didn't really want to eat by herself)
me-"okay suit yourself but....I don't know about you but i don't like eating by myself i like being with my friends when i eat." smile*
girl-smiles back* she asks me where i'm from and what i wanted to with my major.
me-some banter....blah blah blah.
(now by this time my buddy comes back)
me-i ask her again....would you like to join us?
her-says yes and is happy to join us after that i learn her name and we rapport. then i get her phone number.

The moral of this story is...you don't have to have a pickup line but just smile and say hi...and just ask them a question.( as long as there's a reason no one will think you're weird!~) I'm only about 5 months into this pickup stuff and i'm by no means a professional but when there's a opportunity you have to speak up and seize it! just say something at least....even if you get rejected you're just a friendly guy...not some douche who tried to hit on her and she'll remember that next time she sees you or meets you
