if you're a n00b... Ima give you some tips that help me. I've never read them anywhere which is why I'm posting.

first, lemme explain something we can all agree on:
If you invite a girl round your place and say "hey, come round my house and we can have sex"... the girl will reply "no/laugh in your face/ walk away/whatever" So what you do is you make an excuse for her to come back... "hey, come back to mine and we can watch a film/ cook dinner/ i wanna show you my stamp collection (lol) WHATEVER"
And she is more likely to say yes.

YOU DO THE SAME ON ASKING A GIRL FOR A DATE!

do not ask her "let's go for dinner together/let's go cinema/ sit on the grass together" (it might work, but it also might not... the pick up artist is only concerned with things that are foolproof) so you do the same as the sex scenario... you make an excuse! "hey I need to buy a necklace for my mum, and im useless with jewellery, come with me and help me pick something out" (or whatever you want)... then when you are out, you go for lunch/dinner, "hey im hungry lets get sumin to eat". Girls want an excuse to do things, they do not wanna be responsible. Girls love the whole "one thing led to another" idea. you do it with sex, so start doing it with non-sex things like dates.

peace out.
