Hey guys, question for y'all from someone new to the game.

I'm new to this so I wouldn't say I have any game YET, but I can be a pretty charming fellow when I feel like I'm in a good position.

I find myself in the fortunate position of living in downtown Vancouver during the Olympics. It's a crazy time out here, there are literally thousands of people out on the streets at night. My head is on a swivel, never seen so many beautiful and exotic girls in my life!

so my question is: How can I approach these girls? I'm not even looking to pickup in this case, I just want to practice socializing and see how far I can take things.

My frustration here stems from the fact that its an incredibly rowdy environment (picture mardi gras). It doesn't seem to me that people are really looking to meet new people as much as just have a good time running around and making a lot of noise.

In particular, I'm attracted to what I'd describe as quieter, indie/artsy type girls. They seem far more reserved and almost isolated from the crowd. I'd love to just strike up a conversation but I'm not really sure how to go about it without seeming threatening. I'm sure they're getting hit on right and left by some really obnoxious drunks.

Any ideas?

I'll probably be going out again tonight after work. Hopefully I can try out a few things.

Hey I just moved to Vancouver. We should sarge. PM me your msn.

I know the olympics is probably now over but if you are new with no game the best place to start is by saying hello to everyone you meet, this will firstly climatize you to speaking to unknown people which is VERY important and secondly it will make you realise that people actually will respond to you and because of that you will feel better about yourself.

If you want to try to open learn a couple of short canned openers until you get more experience for instance

1) Hey guys, if you could do any winter olympic event what would it be (pause for about 2 secs) theres a reason I am asking this but I will get to that in a minute (wait for a reply listen to your targets response lets say she would do figure skating) REALLY! see thats hot I was arguing with my mate he say he would be snowboarding but thats lame I siad exactly the same thing figure skating now that takes skill I can tell you put a lot of thought into that!

Sorry that was not short and was made up on the spot I am sure it could be fine tuned but thats just an example

Also it is important to have that 2 second gap the reason is they will just about start to talk and you will cut them off, you are not being rude you are merely showing your male dominance and displaying your higher social value

The Olympics themselves have been a very good topic for me. I've been going with favorite event or what event would you participate in as an opener. I always go with Hockey, and that US win over Canada has given me help. I even met a girl who agreed that if it's US v. Russia for the gold, we can't lose because if US wins, our country wins. If Russia wins, our mutual favorite player, Fedorov wins.

I live in Richmond, but find myself in Downtown Vancouver at night almost daily. The environment is pretty much impossible to pickup girls. They are too drunk to understand anything, always in a group of girls that are also drunk.

You can maybe get a makeout session going on in the street, but don't expect much else. The girls there don't want to talk about the olympics, they just enjoy being rowdy.

It's easier to pickup a girl on the skytrain and talk about the olympics on there because you can thread off that and talk about the protest, your opinion, sports, work, etc etc

hey, thanks guys for the replies.

I haven't had a single change to go out since I wrote that post. I've been working 15 hour days e_e

BUT I have been just chatting people up left and right everywhere. Its been good practise.
