Now as you can see its my first post and I would like to start by saying I am not naieve enough to assume this routine/technique is exclusive to myself or that it has not been discussed on this forum but I thought it worthy of posting due to the great success rate I have achieved with it. The best bit is, its so simple.
Sing....sing on the bus, sing on the train, sing in the street. I first stumbled upon this "technique" by accident. Travelling on the train just a few stops I thought I was alone in the carriage and was singing an oasis song purely because it was a very late very quiet train, unbeknowst to me a very attractive indie.alt girl had sat down in the two seats behind me, as I stood up to leave the train I saw her and her stiffled laughter (clearly at my terrible but enthusiastic singing). She immediately saw my embarassment and said "dont quit your day job hun".
From that moment I realised the simple act of enthusiastic singing, even without the knowledge of a prescence of a woman could potentially lead to a multitude of esculations and the best bit being I would barely consider this method an "approach". Even when used intentionally
Since then If I happen upon an attractive girl out of earshot I will sing a song I know and enjoy with equal enthusiasm until she nears and I am audible. Worst case scenario....the girl thinks your drunk or a bit weird (unlikely depending on time of day and location).
More often than not I have found my behaviour at least ellicits a smile from even the most stone faced young lady.
As a heavily tattooed Englishman I have found the stereotype I most closely fit into is indie alternative and as a result have found great success singing songs that one would expect someone of that nature to sing. Just last week I sung wonderwall by Oasis whilst walking to a club which recieved a look somewhere between a smile and a curious frown from a gorgeous tanned brunette. I simply stopped mid verse and asked if she was okay (with a hint of sarcasm as if I was a little offended by her reaction). She said "why is it your singing alone in the street". My response on this occasion was that its an amazing song and I dont hear it enough anymore so I am forced to sing it and that in fact the song is such a classic I shouldnt have to justify it to strangers. She replied "im not forcing you too sing it but your forcing me to listen. My response was that she clearly couldnt be that offended or she wouldnt still be talking to me. This conversation closed with me getting digits after a lengthy discussion about music and which club she was going to that night.
Before this gets too long I will share with you my most enjoyable and suprisingly successful use of this technique. As aformention I paint a very clear picture of the indie alternative englishman, therefore singing songs by Lady Gaga, One direction and the like cause exactly the reactions from women one would expect, disbelief, curiosity and maybe even a little of embarassment.
The main reason I love this technique is because it takes the cold out of the approach, its illicits a physical response ( be it a smile a frown or anything in between) and an emotional response....all before I have even initiated a conversation. Those physical and emotional responses give you ample oppertunity to comment upon them, meaning the initial verbal contact is easy, they noticed YOU, YOU are acknowledging them. YOU are in control and they are reacting to YOUR behaviour. For all intents and purposes you were enjoying singing and it was them who engaged you physically and emotionally causing YOU to stop. Its fun, non intrusive and the conversational topics that can follow are virtually limitless...music obviously, I have even initiated quite deep and meaningful conversations about confidence and human behavior within minutes doing this.
Closing is simple, reenforce the reasons why you and her stopped to chat, emphasize the human behavior, profess your love for spontaneous behavior and offer her a genuine oppertunity to spend time with you because you think the time you spend together will be fun. Ive also found girls I have continued to meet after this technique will try particularly hard to be "spontaneous"...make of that what you will
Flex those pipes gents (you dont have to be good...im not)
