Greetings,

Hipnotik here with an in-field post. I was in Toronto, Ontario with my friends. One of them had an interview, so I thought it would be fun to go to Toronto and experience the big city and nightlife. After his interview, we proceeded to the Eaton Centre for a day of shopping.

I was dressed in dark jeans, rayban sunglasses and a tuxedo t-shirt. Not peacocky, but the t-shirt got some attention. I was in Abercrombie and Fitch looking for a shirt, when i saw a salewoman, looked to be about 20/21 years old, so i sauntered over to start up a conversation. It was her that initiated, saying that she liked my shirt, I replied "thankyou" with a smile. So I asked her what she thought of the shirt i was going to buy. she said she liked it, and I replied "well i wish I could say the same for yours". I said this with a smile, so as to know that i was fooling around.

Afterwards, we fluffed a bit about how she likes her job, where I was from, how I think that the music was too loud in the store and it was necessary to drone out her monotonous voice. I then told her that it was my first time in Toronto, and that we were planning on going out that night, and asked her for some club recommendations. She said that she was going out too, and that she would want to meet up with me later that evening, so we exchanged numbers.

My friends, meanwhile, were busying themselves on the outside, looking busy but watching this interaction. They were very surprised when i pulled out my cell phone for her to input her digits.

Despite being a short set, I believe that this was my best approach yet. I believe that this is the case because of an administration of natural game, negs, and cocky-funny. I did not use any canned openers or routines, just natural conversational skills. (I should thank my t-shirt for being the catalyst to the conversation ) I have not realized that even when talking to employees, that you can be successful. I had never thought of approaching saleswomen in stores.

Thankyou,
Any feedback or suggestions would be fantastic
