My game is mostly daytime. Rarely do I go to any venue, like a club, and think "this is were I will practice". I am talking about completly random times like checkout lines at the grocery store, bank, ect... I start conversations all the time and get the womans attention, get IOI's and 8 out of 10 times stall out. I want to get better so tell me what you do to keep their attention while someone bags their toilet paper? Canned routines and bar tricks don't work, for the most part in these situations. I feel like sometimes she is just waiting for me to come up with a clever way to ask for her number and she will be happy to give it to me but, really in front of a bouch of strangers in line? NO. You can't isolate while she is getting checked out at the register. I need to stall till its over and we get away from the line and I can close.

Hey man, I think you should pick better locations to sarge in. For example a café or a bar. I don't know, but hopefully this helps, and maybe try learning some mystery method, and along the way this should help as well.

During the daytime I find that direct is the best way to go when you have a short amount of time. Especially in a check out at a grocery store, the girl is probably going to go straight home- so trying for an instant date can be tricky.

Best bet is just to go for it. If you are already in a conversation there's already a bit of social comfort- I like to break rapport lightly by teasing her and if time allows try to throw some qualifiers in there- and if time is short - move forward to getting her information.

Something like, "I know this is random, but you seem really cool- and I'm totally gonna risk embarrassing myself. I'm Riott."

She introduces herself. If you sense you can't move her to maybe get coffee right there or you think she has to leave- use your time constraint.
"I'd really like to stay and talk but I gotta jet. You seem like a chill person- lets exchange info and maybe we can get together for coffee." Or whatever you wanna do-

I've found that this works surprisingly well. It's ballsy, and takes guts- but hey- it's better than not trying.

Bigger risk- bigger reward.

Thanks Riott, I was looking for ways to extend the conversation and build a little more comfort, but I guess I need to learn to get to the point faster. Its different than night time/bars/clubs.

Vay, thanks for you response, too. My MM and bar/club game is working in those situations, but I find that 1) I spend a lot more time not in bars/clubs 2) I am not limiting my game to those situations, if there is a good looking girl in line at the bank, I am gonna sarge her and 3) its a lot different sargeing a girl who is running an errend than one who went to the club and is in a club mindset
