in gambler's stealth attraction, i understand his approach technique especially the comfort / confusion for the the girl with the 'how you been?' opening. 2 questions:

1. if she says "do i know you?", how do you follow up to that question?

2. so if you play along like you might know her, but she figures out you don't know each other, what do you say next? how do you transition to mid game?

thx

My take on that opener is that it's to trigger the subconscious, so by saying: 'How you been?', subconsciously it triggers the feeling that she knows you. Haven't tried the stealth stuff myself yet but I don't think many girls would read much into it and would probably just say a normal reply. Personally I wouldn't lie to them that you know them or have met as this probably just causes hassle and might look a bit weird, although you could say you recognise them from somewhere.
A good transition might be to say, 'it's just you look familiar to me, maybe it's that you remind me of one of my friends. Do you find when you meet someone that is similar to a friend or looks familiar it makes it so much easier to build a connection?' (can be phrased a hundred different ways but I've said this to loads of girls and I think it actually triggers the subconscious in them by suggesting that you yourself are familiar to them). Hope that makes some sense I'm tired lol
