Hey guys,

So I have noticed a pretty consistent problem with my general game. When I meet a girl who is a friend of a friend and who I see relatively frequently, I run a bit of game on her and build up a decent amount of attraction first thing. My main problem definitely routes to the fact that I don't number close on the first encounter, but another problem is that when I see her again (say she works at a place I frequent, or I see her at parties etc), I don't know what to do to build up more attraction. I usually end up saying hi and discussing boring shit because I literally don't know what else to do... What would be the best way to build up attraction and rapport after the first encounter?

The first conversation, the icebreaker, is the pain in the ass part. There's no insanely huge urge to get her number immediately if you know you'll see her again, and if she's a friend of a friend it might be best to play your cards a little more conservatively depending on the circumstances.

When you see her again, say hello and focus on being interesting and funny. There's no way to give much more detailed advice than that since we don't know your personality, but the key is to play to your strengths and make her laugh if you're good at that kind of thing. Cut the conversation short once the tension peaks, then suggest that the two of you get lunch/coffee and get her number that way.
