and it was awesome!

I think you guys might get a kick out of this story, as many of you are in the same boat as me.

First, a little background…

I've had some success with women, but it's all come from either my social circles or, lately, the Internet. I rationalized for a while that I was too busy to approach women in real life so I went online, but I finally realized I was just being a big baby and should step up to the plate and actually risk rejection. So that's what I did yesterday.

After I got done with my usual stuff, I realized I had to buy a can opener. I also realized this would be a perfect opportunity to do my first approach of a woman. I arrived at Walmart about 30 minutes later and found that – go figure – there aren't very many attractive women hanging around that place.

I actually saw a cute-ish older woman checking out CDs, so I went to check out CDs next to her. Before I could think of anything to say, she had walked off. Surprisingly, I still wasn't very nervous this point, although the cockiness I felt before (I had totally amped myself up) I actually walked into the store was gone. I was at least slightly anxious.

So I left electronics and walked around the store like a predator, looking down different aisles for any vacant females I could find. I only wanted to approach one. My goal was to ask her for her number and nothing more.

Just as I was deciding that I might as well approach a little old lady and get it done with, I found a pretty cute black girl working in the pet department. I quickly decided I was going to lie my ass off.

I asked her if she could show me where the cat food was because I was getting a cat the next week (I hate cats. I will never have a cat). She seemed to think it was really cute and we had a nice little conversation. The dialogue went something like this:

Me: Hey, can you show me where the cat food is?
Her: Sure, it's over here.
Me: Yeah I'm actually getting a cat next week.
Her: Aww that is cute. -walks to cat food-
Me: Okay, I only want the best for my cat.
Her: -explains differences between dry and wet cat food-
Me: Wait a minute, do you even have a cat?
Her: Well no, but my friend does...
Me: -interrupts- Well then how could you give me advice!
Her: -giggles- I did a bunch of training okay!
Me: -Can't think of a good way to segue into asking for number- Alright I'll pick the wet cat food. Thanks.
Her: Okay have a nice day.

So, we seem to get along but I had no idea how to actually ask her for her number. I decided that I would – again, go figure – just grow some balls and ask for it.

Before I tell you about that, one interesting point - during my conversation with her, it was hard for me to actually focus on what she was saying. I wasn't really nervous, but I had an intense buildup of energy. Like, I remember I literally felt energy shooting from my fingertips. I felt like I was going out to wrestle a lion or something. It was very intense.

So anyway, I decided to walk by her again and chose this approach:

Me: -walking by- Hey, found it.
Her: you only got one can?! (oops, a little transparent here)
Me: Haha yeah, so look, I don't usually do this but you have a good vibe about you. Can I get your number?
Her: My number? Well, I have a boyfriend.
Me: Aww okay, see ya.

That was it. I didn't get the number, but I don't really care. I felt amazing. I'm not really sure that she had a boyfriend – she could have just not that interested – but I didn't feel any real sense of rejection. I actually felt like a total champ for doing it.

After it happened, I found myself wanting to approach more and more girls. It almost like an addiction was starting. It was SUCH a rush.

The most hilarious part is that I didn't have the guts to walk right by her and put the cat food back on the shelf, so I went and hid it in a different apartment and left the store. I also didn't get the can opener. Oh well.

---

So, for any of you guys who have been wanting to approach girls – do it. It's easy, and chances are even if they're not interested they will let you down easily. It's also a hell of a lot of fun.

Hey budd, glad you actually had fun on the field, thing I find the most important cuz if you dont have fun, it becomes a chore right ? Anyways, you probably did ask for her number too early and if you only talked about cat food I highly doubt a girl would give you her number after talking about something she works with everyday (giving advice about pet stuff). I did like your cocky funny line (the one where you ask the girl if she as any cats ). From the cat food you could have smoothly transfered to other topics like her opinion on other stuffs. You also couldve done a couple of routines that would seem apropriate at the time, theres a bunch of good ones on here or even be creative. It's all up to you and Im pretty sure if you wouldve had kept it going a little more, you possibly couldve had closed .

The other thing is when a girl tells me she has a boyfriend or hints towards that, I know it might seem bad but I like trying to use some boyfriend destroyer techniques, I dont do that to girls who seem madly in love neither, Im not the type of guy whos gonna wreck a marriage or something like this but if the girl seems to have an ordinary or shitty relationship, why not ?

On that note, a couple of important points, first keep the conversation going and shift topics, second: Its great you had fun and if it makes you want to approach more its even better, Third: rejection shouldnt be taken badly, you gotta get rejected to close later on and Fourth: IM sorry you didnt get a can opener but eh it gives you another chance to go sarge again
