My last post before bed. Just a bit of a random question.

Just thought I would question one of the basic principles.
Approaching with a question, and usually a random one.
"My mates gf wants him to throw all pics of his ex out, good idea?"
"Brown v Prescott, first fight?"
"Do you believe in..."

I mean seriously the girls first thought must be, what the f**k is this guy on?

Anyone toyed with the good old fashioned hey i'm TT, what's your name... ok got a random question for ya?
It's a little more natural.

I know guys go with the direct approach, hey you look hot, is there a personality behind that? But it mostly seems direct or indirect.

You also have the idea that yeah they think it's weird at first but once they are chatting you take their mind off it, etc. etc.

I just wondered what different variations people are running and what everyone's thoughts were.

Also still looking for a wing, or really someone to wing for to be honest.
Central London, early-mid 20s, must speak good English.?

Thats something i wanna know too

If you walk up to someone (and they see you coming, walking away from your friends etc) its a very bad and weird move. '
Why do you need to walk all that way just ask something random?

Its a totally diffrent story if someone is standing beside you and you have made eyecontact. Then you can talk about the weather. Get what Im saying?

Under the right circumstances you can ask questions like that.
But everytime you make an obvious move (walking up to people you dont know, who see's you coming) your words will come out like a standard pickupline.

Once I was standing next to this girl in bar. I waved a 5$ bill in front of her eyes and asked how far it would get me. She started saying it would be enough for a beer, but as I looked into her eyes and smiled she got what I implied.
Now, this wasnt a very nice thing to do. But it was C&F as hell and she loved it.

If I would walk up to someone and do this shit Id be dead right now.

So its all about the circumstances.

Hope this makes some sense.

You make sense in the above post, but if you dont approach a girl out of the blue with a question you will have to wait a lot to get in the right situation. Won't this lower the amount of approaches you can make?

Are you saying if you are going to do a pure cold approach to make sure you approach from out of sight, or to approach in a public situation tp sit down near by and then pop a question? But doesn't this violate the three second rule?

First of all...
Most guys are hardwired that the approach ( or "pick-up-line") has to be a question. This is totally wrong.
- A simple "Hi" will often do the trick.
- Then you need a reason for talking to her so you say:
" I just saw you from over there and wanted to say Hi".
Then you ask her the question. Thats how its done if your walking up to someone and they see you coming.

Secondly... about the number of approaches. Everyone needs to find their own balance. If I dont feel a question will be good or come out right I wount say it just cause of the "3 second rule". Remember, you are not desperate to talk to anybody!
So no need to approach with panic whenever there is a HB around.
But sure, I get what your saying. While waiting for the right moment, the moment passes you by.
Therefore the ideal thing is to manipulate situations to your advantage, but thats hard and I would be lying if I said that I always know how to do that.

You dont have to appraoch from out of sight. But just think about how much easier it is to talk someone who just happend to stand beside you.

One more thing on the whole "right moment".
Circumstances arnt always the best for PU, but if we approach with better timing our results will be so much better.

Usually it's weird if you walk over and ask someone a random question then of course its fucking weird. But yeah, if they are next to you then you're just getting a second opinion.

If you see a girl you like in the corner of the room go for direct. Walk over, introduce and tell her something nice about her. Engage the group and then use your opener 'oh, whilst I'm here I could do with a female opinion...' or whatever.

It's weird if you make it weird, man.
