I did this mission today!

I went with my friend from work to the local mall and I just started saying "Hi" to every woman I'd want to talk to and most of them look at me with a strange look. I'm not sure if one said hi back, but it doesn't matter. I did the mission - and I'm going to keep doing this until I get more comfortable and maybe a few hello's or a lovely smile in return.

I was half groomed, suit pants and a polo t-shirt, my work dress, also hair was kind of messed up. I didn't care, I had fun and acted like I felt okay the way I was.

After this we go to this restaurant to eat and shortly after we take our seats in the corner, in walk these two girls HB6 and HB7 and sit at the table next to us. Nothing magical, but I managed to open a short conversation with them about the restaurant. Had a fun time and they enjoyed telling me about the things I asked, the conversation then died and we left the place.

I did a mission quite similar to this, but instead I tried to maintain long eye contact, then smiled. I didn't say hi, but it will try soon for sure.

Often, she would smile first and sometimes giggle. It feels great The problem is I still get nervous sometimes, and it happens for me to loose eye contact because I still feel uncomfortable doing it.

It felt weird because I'm still a teen lool! I believe I better get my life better sooner than later Hopefully, I went to Cambodia where 90% of people are smaller than me and I grew some beard so I look older haha

No more excuses, make it happen.

I was just reading this thread and it immediately made me want to go out and do it.
I said hey to every girl I saw, with a few exceptions.
You see, I'm near sighted and at the beach.
So I have to get closer to see if a girl is in my age range. (I'm 18, you do the math)

On the beach I only had the courage to say hey to girls, but at the pool I ran a couple routines.
I started with FTC + jealous girlfriend opener.
Followed up with my combo of room mates/ competition/ girls are sexual predators.
Then I tried ESP routine and Do you think spells work.
But these girls didn't really respond to this stuff.
Then I fluffed about some drama in my life, tried some body rocking.
It was obvious I didn't have them in the palm of my hand as I was hoping so I said a'do. ( not literally.)

I wanted to run the best friends test, but they had only just met.
Next time Im going to throw in cold reading, seeing as I gave fake psychic readings before I even knew about PU, I think this is a good idea. Plus I should have done some push pull before body rocking.

Just writing all this makes me want to go do more. So I think I shall, maybe go look at some shops and see who I bump into.

Anotherthing, the worse thing you can do here is approach from behind.
Trust me, it won't just muddy up your game, it will kill you.

No, it won't.

Ran into those girls again ( hb5 and hb7 btw)
I added the smile push pull routine and hb7 loved it.
I couldn't find a comfortable way to toss in cold reading though. I'll think of something.

I've been picking spots where I say the hello. When I do actually say hello, the response is almost always positive, but at a minimum they say hello back. Yet I'm still nervous because it doesn't seem natural to say hello in busy area like the street, or at a busy grocery.

Also, what do you do when you have a babe on one side walking towards you, but a guy nearby also coming?

Every day is a fresh start!

I've tried it at the mall. It's too easy, unless she's got earphones in; in that case I don't bother.

On the bus is a lot more challenging. People on the bus are wary of strangers, and the use of books and earphones as f**k off devices are much more common.

The key is just to say "hi". Don't try for an opener or anything, unless it happens on its own. Just try and say "hi".

I`ve told guys on the chatroom, but since there is a topic for it here it goes:

I did it! Fuck, it took me years but Im finally saying "hi" to every girl comes my way whenever I feel like it.

First time was at my work, then at nights when I go out with my friends on weekends.
It`s quite easy and I don`t give a fuck about what my friends or the girls think, they don`t say shit in response thou.
You say a friendly hi and women here will look at you with a weird face or not even look at you at all.

So here is the question that`s eating me inside out:

What`s the next step?
What should I do now in order to get better with women?

Chief said something about giving compliments to strangers, real compliments, and then run away from em.

What is step 2 in order to become a PUA?

Love.
Bond.

I tried this yesterday...

Drove up to my city as I had one thing to do. Once I'd done that I thought I'd give the saying "hi" thing a go. I maintained open body language, smiled (not smirked) and I found that people don't look at other people at all and for this reason I didnt get the chance to say hi. What was I doing wrong?

I did however open conversation to people working in shops (situational openers). I also had a lengthy chat with a Canadian girl who was doing some charity work on the main shopping street. Having that chat with the girl was my opportunity to invoke movement/body language tests to understand what reactions I'd get to moving my body in certain ways.

On my way home I stopped at my local town centre as a friend of mine (girl) works in a shop there. I had a quick chat with her and then went to Costa for a coffee where the most amazing thing happened....
I'm not sure what got into me but, while I was in the queue waiting to order I opened up a girl (probs a HB8) by simply asking for a caffeine fix recommendation for a slight hangover. She hmm'd and harr'd before recommending an Americano. I began talking to her after that asking if she'd been out the night before (she hadnt), what she was out for etc etc and she seemed to open up to me in terms of body language and show interest and a desire to talk to me further.
Me being me didn't pursue the conversation further by asking if she wanted to sit with me and have a coffee.
After I'd found out her name, and said my goodbyes and walked grab a table to drink my coffee I realised that this girl may have actually liked me and that I should have tried to get her number or something. Doh.

despite this I was on a high for the rest of the day though which has spurred me on to keep working at it. Next time I wont make the same mistake.

...There will be a next time, I'm so determined.

I done this mission number of times on an everyday occasion. We all can do this, this is the starting grounds for every new pickup artist.

when you do this, do you find that more often than not people just aren't looking. I have tried to make eye contact with people but they don't look around. This might be a UK thing :-/

Well, I'm over in London as well, and contrary to what some people say UK is definitely more introvert than the states.

However, that doesn't mean people are any less sociable.
You won't get people usually talking to random people, or having e/c with random people as much over here.

But, if you are doing it correctly, and saying Hi, hey, how's it going etc.
I find people open up to you as much as they would in any other country.

Ironically, when you start you want people to open up to you more, but I find the more your do this the more you find people open up to you. I guess you just naturally develop a better approach.

So although it's less common over here for strangers to approach strangers, and people might not be as used to it.
With the right amount of practice you should get the same intended results regardless of which side of the pond you live in.

Besides saying hi to every woman on the street or at the mall, you could also compliment her on something and see her reactions. After that continue to talk about anything. Test all methods out and see what works for you. If it doesn't work, forget about it, if it does, then continue to use it, don't forget about it. Make a feedback every time and you will see good results. And also if you want to improve and work also your inner-game, visit http://seduceandattract.blogspot.com/ and see some interesting articles. Some of them really helped me.

BACKGROUND:
Approach has long been my problem. I always envision that I'm bothering everyone. I went to my local mall and did this, then to my local town center and did it again. I looked pretty snazzy, peacocking with a noticeably popped collar. I'm confident in my good looks, and get attraction from many girls for it, but my problem is not being able to take advantage of that.

GOODS:
I said to an HB8 carrying a armful of cardboard tubes (obviously very light weight), "That' looks pretty heavy!" and she laughed and joked back "oh yeah, really heavy!" and there was a slight exchange of smiles and looks back at each other but we kept walking past eachother as we talked. I wonder how I could of locked that girl in.
______Another good when I said hello to a 2 set of HB7's and we both stopped and locked in. They were obviously weirded out yet intrigued at the same time. The only thing I could think of to say at the time was, "LOL, Have you ever had a random person say hi to you before?", "blah blah", then I just blurted out "Well, I'm just going around saying hi to random people." , "why?", "cuz I just want to practice not being shy to talk to people". They laughed, said good luck and we parted. Looking back on it, I should of said, "Why don't you guys join me? It'd be fun!"
_____2 girls obviously smiling and interested in talking to me, sitting down. But got nervous and kept walking after my hello.

BADS:
It was rough at a couple points, for example when I approached a 5 set of girls out to coffee at an outdoor cafe and I just said the most GEEKY EVER "hey guys how's it goin!?" and then got the custom "wtf?" looks and just kept walking. I had to pep talk myself for the next few minutes to get over that one.
_____A bunch of girls just kept on walking, no eye contact; and also a bunch of wtf looks.

CONCLUSION:
FUCK. In general it's just SO HARD not to DLV when you approach, because obviously you're seeking rapport and approval. I need to give less of a fuck. Is this exercise good to practice continually? I know sometimes if you expose yourself to too many rejections, you get diminishing returns and you start to just kill your confidence and feel degraded. But am I on the right track? My short term goal is just to be able to open sets without my heart pounding out of my chest making it obvious that I'm nervous. How long is it gonna take of this before I can just see a girl I like and approach no problem. I'm looking forward to getting more chances to work on my A2, A3, and comfort game. Hopefully this is like learning to play guitar: the beginning sucks dick and for the longest time you're a clumsy fool who can barely play mary had a little lamb without slipping your fingers; but after you get passed the beginning stage, it gets to be fun as hell and cool to practice. In the meantime... this shit sucks man.
_____How the hell did it get like this, where girls run the world and it's always the guy who has to worry about attracting the female. One wrong word, or even the shortest awkward moment and the girl MOVES onto the next guy who will approach her 10 minutes later. Even unhealthy fat ugly girls can just sit at a bar and get more people to approach her than an extremely handsome man. It's a rigged game. Shouldn't there be some equality here, where guys are worth enough and girls are lonely enough so that girls will approach in equal amounts and awkward moments won't bother them just like it doesn't bother guys if a girl makes something awkward, cuz they're lonely too? Girls have WAY TOO MUCH sexual power and that's cuz guys are so lonely they'll put up with anything and fuck almost anything. I feel like there needs to be a boycott of women for awhile in order to balance the lonely/value scales in this sexual game.
