 |
|
| I work at a football stadium, and I usually see this girl walk by, maybe 4 times a game if I'm lucky. it's rare if she's alone, and I'm having trouble coming up with a way to approach the moving target. This has also happened to me at other locations with different girls. what do you guys do to approach a girl that is walking past you? |

Moving target?
Well, you work at the stadium right?
Just go up to the girl, not from behind if you can help it, and tell her you work here and would like to get her opinion on the service of the vendors or the game or the seats etc.
Thats what i would do.
Good Luck  |

| According to mystery, he thinks you shouldnt approach a girl that you are walking towards but if you want to approach a moving target you should be walking infront of her so you can open her up over your sholder. He also mentions never follow a girl because that creeps her out so basically. Objects in motion stay in motion (as said by mystery) so you have to find your self infront of her walking and open her over your sholder like you would with any other female in any other case. If im wrong can someone who is more skilled correct me |

I agree with what has already been said about not normally approaching a moving target, or following one etc.
But since you are seeing this girl constantly I think the concept of familiarity can work in your favor very well here.
If you are looking at her and she looks at you while you walk past each other just start off by smiling at her and keep walking. If she smiled back, maybe next time smile and nod. After she's seen you a few times and has some familiarity this gives you a pretty decent opportunity to go for an "Oh my god" kind of opener. Just stop before you pass her and say something spontaneous like "Oh my god, where'd you get that ...". From there it shouldn't be to hard to start some kind of game.
I'd say that's by far your best bet for a moving target like you described.
Good luck. |

Thats a seriously tough one!
I cant stand it when you pass a hb, get serious eye-contact or a smile and just go on seperate ways!
I could never u turn and go after a girl on the street no matter what the ioi is- just seems too AFC!
I'm all ears if anyone knows a good way around it!

OK i know of two options that you can do from here:
1) Turn around and yell "You know you can say hi..!?" in a playful manner [make sure to smile as much as u can and put a slight emphasis on the 'can'] - if u got heavy IOIs in that few seconds where u passed each other this should work. this is good cuz u can neg them about it later after uv opened her properly and engaged in some conversation..
2) [this one is slightly out-there and u need a lot of confidence to pull this off]: Turn around and say [fairly loudly] "Hey! ... What does this mean? You ogle at me and you don't even stop to talk to me?" [and u can if u want follow this up with: "I'm not a sex object!"]. If delivered properly and under the circumstances that she was definitely eye-fucking the shit out of you then it should also be fairly successful, but highly depends on your delivery. remember ur aiming to come across as funny, confident and different [cuz an AFC would NEVER contemplate doing that shit] and this works well cuz it also serves as C+F. |

| I would go like this It's a bit weird but wierd is sometimes good, run just past her from behind like your in a hurry, then you look at her and say: hey, your that girl who always walks past! I'm blabla, and then just game her slowly. Give yourself a time constraint like I'm actually in a hurry, because: my computer is having a baby, so i can't stay long. |

| I like 3 hands replay, but instead of "...my computer is having a baby, so i can't stay long...." you could say: "I'm actually in a hurry, because: I work here and I have to go back to work". |

| Here's a tip for approching a woman who is walking in the same direction as you that I saw on Mystery's tv show last season but since I don't remember all of it I will modify it a bit. What you do is you say something to get her attention. You try to say something that is open ended(ie not something she can answer yes or no to for example possibly an opinion opener)then what you do is you slowly walk away from her but still in the same direction(not showing too much interest or being like a stalker). If she follows or gets closer to you then the hard part is over. If not then you keep moving(which you should do regardless)and let the conversation taper off. The key here is to draw her into your reality and not the other way around. The advantage of this kind of pickup(although it certainly isn't easy)is that you are not facing her directly and thus not intimidating. |

| First of all your already done with this girl because you waited. IF you noticed her, shes noticed you so approaching her now will be wierd. |

yeah but remember that most things in pua are guidelines not mandatory rules. Since last semester I've open TONS of moving targets walking towards me at school, tailgates, malls, downtown, streets, etc. The first few times I did get blown out, but then a friend helped me realize that when doing moving sets you should really show importance to your opener. What I mean is not just go up to them with a cocky smile and say it, but rather come in with a little troubled expression yet in a confident manner. I don't really use opinion openers as my main opener, I use more natural questions mostly relating to the environment, and then I stack an opener or so. But that is not to say I don't do them every now and then. What I would change when doing opinion opener on ANY moving set is make a quick and short. So get rid of "hey I need a female opinion on something, blah, blah blah" and get to the point. I find if you are able to say it before they pass you, they will most likely stop and get in a conversation. |
