Apologies for the very basic questions (I don't claim to have the knowledge/game that most people on here have) but what are some examples of cold reads?
Or even a DHV story? Sure, I know what DHV is... but how would you personally integrate that into what you're doing?
Don't worry, most people on here definitely don't have game (mine's not great).
A cold read is in the format of "You are ____" An example after an opener would be "Oh, you think Mick Jagger is hot?? So you must be the wild party girl and you're the sweet one."
When done in longer and more penetrating ways, they really help you connect with people. There's tons of literature on them, even outside of pick up. Psychics and such use them a lot, look it up!
A good trick to link into a DHV story even if it's a little out of context is to claim that it's recent. "So you'll never guess what happened to me yesterday while you were [doing whatever she said she was doing yesterday]"
Another is to claim that she reminds you of something in the story. "Oh my god, the way you laughed just then, it reminded me exactly of this girl I once met blah blah"
Don't force your DHV stories in, it makes things awkward. But practice and you'll start to feel when the rhythm of the interaction is right for it.
