Post subject:  New here, looking to improve skill. Mini-field report.
Hey guys new to the forum here and the PUA lifestyle. Like many, I had just got done reading Neil Strauss' 'The Game,' and it inspired me to join this community for a fun, new exciting life style. I haven't necessarily had a lot of trouble with women, I was just looking to improve skill. I believe my main weakness is opening, and small talking. Anyway, I was out last night at a dance club, dead, and decided to practice some routines for my upcoming trip to Vegas.

I approach a two set of 23-25 year old TALL women. I wasn't necessarily attracted, just wanted to try the jealous girlfriend opener routine I learned from Style.

Me: Hey ladies, do you mind if I can get your opinion on something? I need a girls' perspective on this.

Tall Girls: Sure

Me: My friend over there *me pointing randomly to one of my friends* has this girlfriend who he just started dating after getting out of another relationship about 3 months ago, however, he still friends with his ex, not in a sexual way, but just friends, do you think it's wrong of him?

Tall Girls both agree that they would not appreciate it too much because he was in a relationship with this "girl" just 3 months ago.

Then I started realizing to myself that I can't really say the 'he still keeps friendly pictures of her in a shoe box in his closet' because they just already they don't like boyfriend being friends with the girl.

I say it anyways.

I tell them the girlfriend wants to burn the pictures. One of the girls says 'Yeah that would be a great way to do it' with a mischievous smile. I told her that she sounds like she's the crazy girlfriend type, and she gets playfully offended.

Then I freeze. Don't know what to say after that or small talk anymore. What does everyone normally do after the opener? What's a good thing to say afterward when I'm not getting a great response from the opener.

Oh I forgot to mention another weakness. I over analyze and over think situations wayyyy too much.

Thank you for reading, and would appreciate responses! Look forward to hearing and sharing stories from you all!

Sounds like you were off to a pretty good start.

I would have followed up with a story, then an introduction.

My openers are usually always something I can give a quick story to. The story itself may not actually be quick, but this is what I tell them.

You negged her with the crazy girlfriend line, which was cool and you could have followed that up with a story of a crazy girlfriend you had and how you found out that she practiced voodoo and how you caught her burying your underwear in the back yard.

Either way, you open (with a false time constraint), tell a story (hopefully related to their response to your opener), introductions, escalate attration, kino, isolate, close...

Like I said, from your story, it sounds like you were off to a pretty good start, and it seems like they were responsive to your opener. You just need to learn story telling, stacking and shifting.

Thanks for the reply Thumper.

Yeah I feel like it just takes practice of countless approaches, and I feel like you'll soon start hearing the same things a lot from girls and responses will automatic. I should have done the time constraint line, and I usually do, but it must have slipped my mind. Probably the alcohol.

That voodoo story is hilarious, though! haha I'm gonna give that one a shot. Gotta get my practice in before Vegas in 12 days!
