(I just realized I posted this on the wrong forum for "newbies", which I am not, having a pretty decent laycount... so trying to get more replies here from the regular members...)

Hi there,

While I definitely am NOT a fan of Internet for picking up/ meeting girls, every once in a while I come across an interesting profile on my FB of a girl I like, invite her, and, maybe cos i have worked a bit on my FB profile (travel pics, selected public posts etc...), I do get accepted, even though she probably knows we have never met...

Now, my question is : how to step it up and start conversation via Internet, with a woman you ve never met?.. and get to the first date.

There are probably many posts on Google on how to do it.. by people who, have never done it... so i am more interested to hear it from people who have had some success doing it. (I knew of a guy who first told me about FB pick ups, but then we don t talk anymore...)
The girl is a smart type of girl, currently studying for her MBA.. Half Russian and half Asian.. So I mean probably not dumb.

ive tried this out before and always get a response "do i know you"
its a major shit test,best way to anti-combat it is sharp and witty comeback.(yes,im superman)most likely she will say no your not and you disagree or she will say "yea sure" then you reply with an witty funny story like you rescued a cat

i always get asked and you will to (what you doing):this is key to gaining her interest,make a long,yet interesting response,(i am currently pondering why my cup has fallen of the table,not nothing)

ask her hobbies and inject some humour into it("you do ballet??i tried it once,but all the girls hated me cause i looked amazing in tights and pink tutu)<---genuinely said that worked to

if she is local,ask her dumbly"where are you from" and you would respond excited.

this is probably some help because im trying to combine some of my own experiences with a really good post i read on this,ill post you a link if i find it again.ill show you pictures of some convos i had i also got sexual with them as they showed me some rauncy pics and had some sexy convos too

(P.S.this probably belongs in the Online Sarging section,the moderators get pissed if you miscatagoriezed your question)

Happy Sarging,hope i was some help!

Hahahah you just reminded that I actually got that shit test once myself in the past !.. (only once I guess cos have never really pushed that FB stuff) She was quite hot and popular type.. got the "shit test" straight out. Used that "met in a bar" excuse (which fitted with her drunk party pics...) but did not work too well, since after that.. end of communication !..
Good general advice, yeah, put in some fun basically and avoid the tricky questions ("dont know you"/ "doing nothing" (since am talking to you lol))

Yeah would love to see a good post summarising "good" litterature on the topic and real life experience.

Waiting for a reply from that chick am talking on the post. PMed her saying that we should meet for language exchange last Friday.. no reply yet, definitely not a good sign.. will try to talk to her on a chat, I guess what I may need the most is some social proof cos she may be a bit snobby (studying an MBA with obviously lots of well to do guys around).

Did not even know that section "online sarging" existed !! Interesting, makes sense for me cos I spend a lot of time in front of a computer for work... might as well put it to use to sarge in between breaks !..

Don't do this dude. It's creepy as fuck... Guys who add random girls on Facebook are seen as creeps with too much time on their hands..

I agree to some extent Majikal. Girls are more confortable if there s a social proof before talking to a new guy (i.e. they know he is a friend of a friend, THEN you re completely fine !..). But then, if you think about it.. that s exactly the same with ANY kind of sarging !!!

And then, if the girl is using FB, AND, accepts your request, let s say in online sarging theory (that I just happen to have started working on ! lol), you have passed the first step (profile adequacy).
But to get around the second step, that first "do i know you" shit test, spoken out or not (e.g. when invite not accepted..) the best would be to have some level of social proof, i.e. to have some connection to the girl, via friends for example... (to avoid looking like an Internet weirdo, you re right)

i have to agree also,everyone would agree.Getting random requests from people you dont know is quite creepy.
I did use FB to meet girls once but FB is really meant for talking to friends and to make up shit about what your doing.it should be called diary book. I meant to mention that it should be used on meeting social networks like Skout(sorry about that).its a good site to use for meeting people and its open too,but be careful as there is dick riddelers and trolls on aswell!!!theres lots of other sites like skout out there,use them there is "facebook game" but i know thats for the circumstance that you met the girl physically and have talked to her.check that out if you meet a random girl and shes askes you to add her on fb

Well update on progress : DOA !.. lol the girl did not even reply !.. wtf. You guys may have been right.
Even then, this leads me tho to wondering (not too worriedly) why would she accept the invitation of a (probable) stranger into her personal FB (with personal pics of her in bikini and the likes), if it s that creepy, and then, not reply to him?..

Without overanalyzing (1 case to-> generally), I think I made 2 major mistakes (in the process) :
- first I took way too long to talk to her after she accepted my request (no spontaneity bs) ;
- I don t use FB that much anymore, so maybe my FB did nt bring my (social) value up high enough to get her interest (even tho I have plenty of cool pics of the time I was using it actively, of far away holidays and cool home and job and stuff), especially since she s a "cocky" lady (ie looking to achieve "major" career success competing with men, MBA and sh.t), narcissist from her FB profile pics lol, and probably with plenty of guys chasing her around since she s a HB7 at least in a men s world (counterexample: not studying to be a nurse..).

Thanks for the Skout advice, did nt know it.
I find FB tricky with girls I DID meet. Yes I get that a lot, "add me on FB", but I generally avoid it cos it s the best way to let the girl spy on you for free and find an excuse for not dating you.. imho.
