I've only ever had a tiny bit of success with girls, and that's came from cold approach in clubs.

As such, I literally have no idea how other types of hookups work. I don't know what they should look like in general and as such, i'd kind of have no idea what to do if I fancied a girl at work for example.

I was gonna get a job at a bar near where I live, and I was told that lots of the staff are always hooking up and even having sex at work, but I can't imagine how i'd do it without grabbing her and trying to kiss her like I might at a club for example.

Or say at an office job, even! Would the idea at an office job be to just be cool and friendly and fun, and then just ask her out for drinks after work? And then once your out with her you can tell cool stories about yourself, tease her and touch her and then just go for the kiss?

And what about the bar job where people have sex in the toilets! Imagine it's my first day and I fancy a waitress. How might the process look? Over what sort of timeline might it typically take? I know it's all hypothetical, but I feel as though I need some sort of picture in my head. Like, I inrtoduce myself and just e normal? A few days later I start to 'flirt' with her? Tell her I think she's cute or not? Do I try to use lots of kino on her at work and during lunch breaks and stuff? And how do I move on from that to trying to bang her in the toilets!?

I feel as though I might benefit from VERY VERY detailed field reports of similar successful situations.

You need to stop looking at this as if it were an exact science and start looking at it for what it is - an artform. I can tell you're the highly analytical type, and while there's nothing wrong with that, you gotta understand that attraction is based on emotion, and not logic. Very very detailed field reports don't exist because being so hung up on details doesn't lead to any form of success.

I imagine hooking up working in a bar is much easier than in an office job but for the process is largely the same.
I'll share two of my experiences on both sides of the spectrum.

When I started working my current job, first day, I immediately set my eyes on 2 coworkers. One of them wasn't exactly my type but she was cute nonetheless.
The other I couldn't help but stare at for most of the first day meeting. And she noticed me looking at her once or twice.
Over the next few days I'd just randomly talk to her during coffee breaks or lunch breaks. I wasn't being friendly and fun, I was being flirty and fun.
Turns out she lived in the same part of town so before leaving work that day I asked if she wanted a lift. We began leaving work together regularly.

As we were driving home she asked if I liked the new job and how it's going. I told her that I'm deciding the fate of this new company I started working at, how I have to take my private jet for an important lunch meeting tomorrow, etc etc. Obvious exaggerations. She played along.
For some reason I mentioned I needed a few things from the mall, she said she needed some too, so I invited her to be my new fashion adviser and come with.
So she did, I continued flirting with her, teasing if she liked clothing I didn't and complimented if she liked things I did.

After shopping was done I suggested we go grab a few drinks since I didn't feel like going home yet. 5 cocktails later I mentioned something about going to the gym so she places her hand on my chest to measure my fitness. Obviously I do the exact same to her, since it's only fair. She playfully punches me in the arm.
Few minutes later we're on the dancefloor, I pull her in and kiss her. She's all kinds of sexy.
She didn't come home with me that night, but did a few days later.
We remained fuck buddies for about 6 months. That happened about two years ago. Had another fling with her this summer.
We're still good friends and occasionally hang out.

Second example.
New girl joined the office, had a nice ass. On her first day I saw her in the kitchen so I introduced myself, introduced her to a few people, asked a few questions here and there. Noticed she had an iPhone Gold so I evidently started giving her shit for it. iPhone and Princess became my nicknames for her.
Again, flirty and fun.

In the following days I just invited her to lunch breaks and/or coffee breaks, helping her integrate and get an overall look&feel.
Banter was ongoing during work since we use SPAM for Business. I was kinda having fun with myself sending her all kinds of sexually charged songs. Like The Weeknd.

Few weeks later we had a teambuilding event at hotel outside town. We danced, I kept escalating visibly turning her on and them abruptly stopping. About half hour later I tell her to come join me in my room for a few shots of Jägger - since my friend and I brought a couple of bottles that the hotel wasn't serving. She complies and sits on my bed while I get the bottle out. Did two shots, I get up, grab her hand, slam her against the wall and passionately kiss her.
You could almost feel the floor getting wet as clothes start flying.

And that's that. Few days later we're back at the office and I invite her for a game of ping pong in the rec room. We get there, and instead of making a left towards the table I push her to the right towards the bathroom. She figures out what's going on and you can see the cheekiest smile on her face. Women love feeling desired.
That was a good day.

The first girl was single.
The second was in a relationship. Still is actually. They just moved in together.

Either way the reason I'm pointing out being on great terms with these girls is because you typically will see people telling you to stay away from office affairs. I don't think you should stay away from a girl simply because you work together. Just don't go for crazy, it's that simple.

So there's my examples. Everything comes down to flirting and not being afraid to show interest. Kino ties in with escalating. If a girl isn't comfortable touching your hand she's not comfortable touching your lips. Pretty straight forward.
How fast you ask her out has everything to do with how fast you can build a connection with her. And that tends to be easier done at the workplace, because you see these people on a daily basis.

How to keep a girl.

thanks a lot taking the time to post your examples. They honestly help me get certain things a little clearer in my head.

I've only ever had one 'same night lay' from a club, and other than that i'm basically a very old 'nearly virgin'!

I'm trying lots. I've made about 100 approaches since reading m first game book, but it's just been varying forms of rejection. Sometimes harsh as soon as I say ''Hey, how's you night going?'' and sometimes i'm able to at least get a conversation going with them, but thy soon bale.

But maybe it's not as bad as it seems? I mean, there's people on another forum I look at who have banged hundreds and hundreds of girls (so presumably know what they're doing) who say they only get laid once in every 100 cold approaches or so, and since i'm new to 'game' i'll maybe need another 400 approaches or something to get lucky

My concern is that I know absolutely nobody who does well with cold approach, and they all get laid with either tinder or social circle/work game.

But I work with all men in a warehouse and I never get a match on tinder, so I have to rely on cold approach in bars, mainly at the weekend, which is like swimming in the deep end!

Hoping to get a new job with lots of girls to practice more

Not sure about the 1 in 100 statistic. Like I said, it largely depends on your ability to create a connection. The reason I'm personally not a big fan of cold approach is the inherited random nature of it.

I've been on numerous dates with beautiful women that turned out to be exceptionally uninteresting. And unintelligent. I know guys that plow through that with ease, but I just can't do stupid. It always was my biggest pet peeve.
On the other hand I did also meet some amazing girls.
Like I said, random nature.

However, you're just starting out. Don't get discouraged. Approach 10 girls a day and you'll have approached 300 in a month.
3 lays in 4 weeks doesn't sound so bad, does it?

There's nothing wrong with social circle or workplace, but it's easier and hence less stimulative. Cold approach is fun and you can get some great experiences off of it, but that's just half of it. In reality it forces you to constantly step outside your comfort zone and increase your social skills and prowess. Not many people have that ability and it will serve you across all areas of your life.

Tinder is also a great tool. If you're not getting any matches that's because of poor pictures. Invest some time and effort into those pictures and I guarantee you'll see results. Quick google search should shed some light on how to create a good tinder profile.

That was fucking awesome RC thanks. Even though I'm much better now, sometimes I have trouble coming up with fun ideas, sometimes not enough wit for flirting, but I'll get there.
