Hey guys, here is a Field Report.
So I decided to test myself at the mall earlier today. I went to the mall for some shopping and some approaching since I knew there would be lots of HB’s. I had my brother as a wing man just in case I needed him. While he was waiting in line to pay for something, I was waiting for him on the side. While I was looking around, a HB8 walked past me and I approached. I asked her for her opinion on a shirt I was looking at. She showed good l0l so I introduced myself and she did the same. We made small talk about the crowd and the trouble with the parking. We talked for about 5 minutes when I decided to close on her. I told her I was running late and that I had to stand in line before the lines got longer. She said yes and gave me her number. Once I had her number on my phone, I asked her to repeat it just to make sure she had gave me the right one. This is something I usually do to make sure they give me the right one. If they lie, they will give you a different number the second time. So, this HB gave me a whole different number the second time. So what I did was laugh and tell her, “O never mind, I already have a girl with the same name, I wouldn’t want to get you two girls confused, but thanks.” So I said thanks and I walked away.

What do you guys think? Is there something better I should of done?

When she gave you a phony phone number she already made up her mind. At that point you had not attracted her enough for her to really want to keep in touch. Probably the five minutes were not sufficient to build up attraction - that's one of the weak points of day time sarges. What you could have done differently was to set an "insta-date" and take her for coffee at the mall that very moment. As well, you could have asked for her Facebook instead of phone number, it's less of a big deal for them, and then you start messaging her over fb... You handled her reaction in a casual, "it's no big deal" way, which was pretty cool... Also thanks for the "repeat phone number" trick, it's a good one...

I think you handled it well there at the end. You turned it into a joke on her and not on you. If there were any other girls in that store they would have watched your social value soar, so all that wasn't for nothing.

I find it too weird for me to ask a girl for her Facebook personally. Its a totally viable option though. Just not my cup of tea. If you didn't do it in the conversation already, lead the conversation towards what she does for fun. Then come up with a reason she HAS to see you again (ex. you frequent the bar she loves; you know of an awesome movie coming out [if shes a movie lover]; etc). Thats something I've picked up so far. Far less rate of rejection because you can paint her an image of what your next meeting will be like.

Unless you build a huge amount of attraction, just asking for the number in general can be risky. But with a legit and fun reason for the number, you should be golden.

I was thinking of the insta-date but it was too crowded and busy, that’s why I went for the number. As for the Facebook, I don’t really post anything there. I think that they would think that I’m only using it for that. The good thing is that I tried and I’ll use this experience to better my next approach

You should’ve seen the look on her face, she wasn’t expecting it. Next time I’ll try to keep the conversation a little longer and see how that goes.

You don't necessarily want to go to longer daygame convos at all: The girl gave you a fake #. 1 girl. There are plenty more girls. If you're a busy guy you don't have time for instant dates during the day. Now, if the next 10 girls all give you fake #s then you need to modify your approach and how you are speaking and acting toward the girls within the few-minute set. 1 result is not a sample size; it's next to nothing.
