I am wanting to try and get the number from this girl that works at the tanning salon I got to, to tan.

I was thinking about just complimenting her hair, and going about my business. The next time I come in, I pay more attention to another worker, to make the one I want, jealous.
What is your opinion on this? What line could I use.

Also, how to:

Pick up a female at the shopping mall?
Pick up a random female at the shopping mall?
Pick up a female in a restaurant?
Pick up a female in a regular store?

I have approach anxiety, but I want to get over it. I'm tired of being the guy, that has no women.
So, any help is greatly appreciated...

Complimenting her hair is ok but there are more effective strategies. If that's what you want to do you might start with asking who does her hair. Have a confused look on your face that may suggest you like her hair, or it's possibly fucked up. If it were me I would start out with something about the tanning beds. Do you already use different beds? Have the bulbs been changed? how often do they change them? do they have a spray tan booth? do they plan to get one? does she have experience with spray tan and how long it lasts? has she ever heard that it's best to use different types of beds for the best tan? how often does she tan? Would she ever be interested in owning her own salon? Is there anything about the accelerator lotion you can ask? Will she let you smell different types of it if you want to buy one? does she get commission if she sells lotion? Have they got any new clients this week? If I knew more about how the salon was set up I could probably suggest something effective but spare me the details.

You've got some ideas there on a couple questions you can build as a routine that I think would be effective. You can compliment the hair later in the conversation.

Holy shit. Does this type of stuff really work? This is awfully boring and long. Why talk to a girl pretending that you're not interested in her and wait 30 minutes to see if she's interested in you?

I would just walk up to her and tell her she's gorgeous or beautiful and talk to her from there. It's WAY easier to gauge her interest when you say something like that.

It's what I would do. It doesn't take 30 minutes to ask a question about the business and then a follow-up question. Where are you getting "30 minutes" ? He can go direct within the conversation whenever he wants.

telling a girl who's not hot shes gorgeous might work if the dude is an 8 and she's a 4 or something. Telling a girl who's gorgeous she is gorgeous subconsciously turns her off. my advice to you, read more , post less.

1) It's a #'s game - plain and simple

2) I'd rather crash and burn quick then spend time blah blah blahing. Once you approach a girl, she knows you're interested. If she smiles back, acts a little nervous, etc.. these are all good IoIs.

3) Generally, go for direct approach during the day and indirect approach at night.

So at a mall, you can approach by asking an opinion on something you just bought or want to buy... then compliment her physically and specifically... then attempt an insta-date (ask her to come w/ u to a nearby store to help you buy a shirt for a cool event coming up). Afterwards you can reward her by buying her yogurt, coffee, whatever. Or close & exit.

If she's not interested, you'll know... "have a great day ladies and keep that beautiful smile going!"

Neeext

Complimenting a girl on her physical features is putting value in her physical appearance. Women base their own value on their physical appearance. Why would you ADD MORE VALUE to her already pumped up ego by complimenting her on something she already prides herself on? (something that she most likely always hears from guys anyways... Opening with a compliment is the most unoriginal way to approach a woman. You will get blown out. Instantly. You will "crash and burn" instantly. Every single time. You need to stand out. You need to be different than every other guy out there.)

It is a numbers game in the sense that the more women you approach, the more likely a woman will sleep with you. (quantity) However, if you actually want to LEARN pick up and be able to pull the stunner that walks by (quality) vs. the hog that is begging to be dicked down cause she hasn't gotten any in a year, it is a numbers game in the sense that you develop REFERENCE EXPERIENCES from practice. If you keep doing things wrong... yes, eventually something will stick, but you will not be able to get the QUALITY of women that you want.

There is nothing rewarding about picking up some girl who you say "want to fuck me?" and hoping she says yes. If you want QUALITY women, you are going to have to put in a little bit of work. Oh, you might have to spend a half an hour talking to her. Boo hoo. Fucking cry about it. Nothing of value in life comes easy. Showing super direct interest like that will only get you blown out. You should be direct once you have started to develop attraction but if there is no chemistry between the two of you, you are coming out and telling her that you see her only as a sexual object. NOT a human being. Don't be afraid to express your sexual desires but allow her to know that there is more to you as a person than some pervert who is only looking to get his dick wet. Make her become attracted to you first. Make her work for your affection. She will appreciate you more. People appreciate things in life that they have to work harder for. Example.... Your parents could buy you a brand new BMW or you could work hard and earn money to buy the BMW for yourself... You will appreciate the car much more if you actually worked for it yourself.

Quit looking for a fucking short cut in everything you do in life and actually put in the work. You will appreciate the girls more. The girls will appreciate you more.Put in quality work and get quality results... meaning quality women. Unless you want some girl who is literally just a fucking cum dumpster....

Going direct during the day will not get you blown out instantly every time. At night it may but during the day very very few guys have the balls to approach a girl and tell her how beautiful she is. There are countless videos that prove this.
I got thirty minutes from your enormous array of questions to ask her. I imagine if you asked a girl about whether the light bulbs have been changed and how often they change them and if they have different beds, she's just going to think that you are interested in buying the salon or something and when you ask for her number that she'd be very confused.

I'm not criticizing your game, I'm just actually amazed that it works. Does it really? I'd much rather be direct and know instantly if a girl is interested in me every time rather than wait a long time pussyfooting around the subject of asking her out only for her to say no and then you've wasted x minutes.

Positron, I don't think he meant ask literally every single question he wrote. Just a few ideas to pick and choose from to get the ball rolling.

Honestly dude, going up to a girl and saying she's gorgeous is literally the dumbest idea ever. Super AFC and boring. If that worked there'd be no need for this forum. I'm a good looking dude and that has literally never worked for me unless I just got off stage where I already have rockstar value anyway, so I can literally do or say whatever I want. In an average, every day situation, telling a girl she's gorgeous right off the bat, you might as well not talk to her at all because you're just going to inflate her ego while she squashes yours.

For every girl this works on in the youtube videos you talk about (which I look at as "fool's mate" if it even does work at all) I guarantee there are TONS of girls it doesn't work on. You are criticizing. That's actually the only thing you're doing. I've gone out gaming with trigger happy wings before. They just throw a lot of shit on the wall and hope it sticks. I went out with a guy who made 145 approaches in one day. He got 5 or 6 numbers, all of whom eventually flaked. I'd much rather spend more time on each approach and get laid every now and then, as opposed to jacking off to the idea that a girl gave me her number.

Yep
