So I took Svengali's call to action and I went out yesterday to say hi to random women.

I'll give details and if you're patient enough to read this post please respond with critique and advice. THANKS!

I first went to a an indoor mall and walked around just like Svengali says to do looking for potential females I could say hi to as I walked. It's holiday season so the women were out with their moms or dads or were either too young or too old.

I practiced my strut and my alpha-male air and I made a few good eye contacts with some of the help or even some of the girls walking with their parents, since I had dressed on the peacock side I even noticed some chicks checking me out but the opportunity to open my mouth just never came. Frustrated I almost called quits but I decided that I'd stay until I friggin said hi to somebody.

Make a long story short, still no luck, but on my way out there was a cell phone booth and I happened to look at the counter. There were two sales persons at the counter. A guy and a girl. She had her head down, that's why I looked because all I saw was hair and I thought he had a poodle or something on the counter. He notices me looking and says:

HIM: See she's all tired.
she comes up and happens to be a 7. im game.
ME: So are you gonna give her a massage or something rub her feet?
HIM:... umm
ME: Cause that's what I would do.
At this point I have them going but I realized I put myself out there so I backtrack
ME: No, no, I'm just kidding. I wouldn't actually touch you with a ten-foot pole.
now here my voice is nice and low, smooth and has a flirty tounge in cheek tone. I'm also thinking that the ten foot pole reference might have her thinking of my pole he quickly exits and she starts asking me about my service. I claim I don't believe in cell phones and she's like yeah right you'll probably pull it out of your pocket soon or maybe it's in your car. I stand 4 feet away. I'm not comitting myself but I'm making eye contact and smiling but still remaining cool and a little aloof.
HER: So what do you have? ATT?
ME:
HER: Verizon? Sprint?
ME: Wow, there's like five cell phone companies out there and you managed to guess them all wrong.
HER: so what do you have tmobile?
now, I don't want to talk about phones but she's a shark so i just want to create interest.
ME : yep
HER: do you know what the T stands for?
ME: telecommunication?
HER: terrible
ME: oh really
HER: you can get better service here.
i'm thinking is that pseudo for i got what you want?
ME: (look around don't see a sign of any sorts) Where?
HER: ATT
ME: ok, I'll give it a thought.
I smile and I walk away.


PART 2: same night
I was glad I was able to interact but I felt like I wanted more time in the field so I go to an outdoors mall. I start in a book store and am picking up books and reading a little, walk around some more, where I noticed this girl. She was wearing calf high boots knee high skirt and had some nice legs. can't see the face yet. I go past her browse in the next aisle, come around again and browse a stand a few feet away and then I decide to go for it crash and burn style.
zbest: hey, whatchu reading?
her: um, reading.
zbest: that's cool me too. What's your name?
her: >>>>> and yours? (she puts out her and seems receptive but a little shy and uncomfortable)
zbest: >>>>>> nice to meet you. I like your boots. They stand out.
(now, I'm not the best conversationalist so I go with what I can. also I thought bitch boots as soon as I saw them)
zbest: Any particular reason you bought them?
her: They caught my eye.
zbest: Well, listen. I have to be somewhere but could I give you a call sometime?
her: umm.
zbest: I know, I don't give my # out either. How bout we meet up somewhere?
her: umm, let's see. Sunday, here?
zbest: ok. same time same channel?
her: yeah!
zbest: (i kino her arm) see you then!

Well, this is a long post and there's one more part to it which I'll post separately, but i'm just asking for critique and pointers. I'm not used to picking girls up so I'm working on building material and strategies.

Thanks for reading!

well zbest good job on getting out in the field and building confindence, the main problem that I'm seeing ehre is with approach. You said you were in the mall and making eye contact with staff and other mall goers, eye contact and smiling can be an IOI, as soon as you see that go make contact (3 second rule). A good approach might be that your shopping for your sister, say shes around your size would you mind trying an outfit on for me (she loves clothing) great opener, whe you doing that don't pick clothing thats revealing you'l look like a creep! be careful with your negs that whole 10 foot pole thing was a little harshe, keep your neg as a partial compliment or say it in a joking fashion. The book store experience was good, try takeing a look at the book see the topic and maybe ask her about the book shes reading. for example say it's a thirller, micheal crighton for instance, ask her what she thinks of it and mention you've read another book of his get her opion, it's great for opening the conversation a bit and keeping the comfort level there. Also in book stores theres these things called book of birthdays there surprisingly accurate maybe in the convo ask her her birthday and mention the book you mgiht get a sit down session with her and learn alot about each other to build comfort. I did this just sunday works like a charm. for your numbr close if the number close fails get an e-mail would if you show up and she doesn't? At least with an e-mail you have an alternate form of communitcation and an opportunity for either of you to cancle if something comes up. If something comes up now you'l show and she won't and you don't even know if shes really planning to show.

if you ahve any questions feel free to ask

hey man great job on getting out there..this is the best way to build confidence and i honestly dont think you can "make a mistake" at this stage, if im right your just starting out, and by approaching woman even just to say hi, your getting used to the interactions and the approaches etc.
great! all i can say is keep it up, dont worry too much about what u actually say, for now, but as u get better at it, challange yourself more and more. this time u spoke to girl who was working, next time make it to someone in the street, then pick the HB8, then 9's etc. build up slowly. in terms of your game, just keep learning, read as much as u can, there is heaps online, and when ure ready start incorporating it into ure game.

I would suggest however that until you can comfortably walk into a mall and approach at least 5 random sets and talk about whatever, you shouldnt worry too much about what you actually talk about

keep it up,
cheers
