| I guess I should introduce myself a little before I tell y'all my routine...
I've seriously debated whether or not I should join this forum for awhile. --Let me back up.-- As I'm sure with a lot of the newer members, I discovered these forums through reading Neil Strauss' book (I'm sure I don't have to put the title because you're all familiar with it). At first I was extremely interested in the book because of the "underground community of pick-up artists." But, when I read it and about the routines it just seemed common sense to me -- at least how I was raised socially. By no means am I claiming to be a PUA, but the things said and the thought process that goes toward approaching/opening women is something I've already gathered... It's like writing a paper; you may know how to write a paper, organize it, and even know the subject you're writing on, but when it comes to actually writing that's a different story! (yes, pun was intended)
Fortunately, I have something a lot of AFCs don't: looks. PLEASE understand that when I say that I'm honestly NOT bragging but say it in the most humble terms. Because, although I may be endowed with looks, I lack confidence (well meeting new girls). My personality is very much cocky/funny but only with close friends -- I get jealous if someone else in the group is funnier than me, I have to "one up" them and be funnier. It's just how I am -- I love to make people laugh. But, unfortunately I'm timid when it comes to meeting new people... no real reason, I know it's all just a mind thing.
I'm glad I found a community like you to help me through some of this, and in turn I hope to give a few pointers of what I've learned through life (like I will shortly). With all that said, I'm tired of my friends asking my why I don't have a significant other -- so I set out to become a PUA to shut them up really. I've had girls confess their feelings for me, but I'm not attracted to those types of girls -- the fun is in the chase!
Ok, "you're typing too much, just tell us the routine you did the other day already!" Haha, sorry for talking too much, just not everyday you get to be honest about your inner-thoughts with others...
---------------------
So I'm in college, which provides for some of the best PUs. There's a girl in my class I had my eye on and just wanted to meet her. Finally, the other day I said screw it, what have I got to lose? Here is the routine I used after class one day...
(She was wearing a really interesting/loud/attractive shirt and I caught up to her while walking).
ME: That's a really good-looking shirt. I like it.
HB9: Haha. Thanks.
ME: But I have to say, I think I could make it look better if I wore it...
HB9: Oh really??
ME: Yeah.... in fact, just last last week I wore that shirt. So, while you think you're trendy and fashionable, I already wore it! You're just a little behind in the fashion sense...
HB9: HAHA! Yeah I can picture it on you... I think it would look good on you... (IOI)
ME: Yeah that's what all the girls said last week. Hey, I know we all introduced ourselves to the whole class, but I forgot your name...
HB9: Oh it's Elizabeth.
ME: Hmmm.... I don't know if I like that. You have any nicknames or a shorter name?
HB9: My friends call me Beth... you don't like my name?!?
ME: Hmmmm... I don't like that either... I'm gonna call you Lizzy.... does anybody call you that?
HB9: Haha. no....
ME: Good. I'll be the only one to call you that....
HB9: What's your name? (IOI)
ME: Oh, I don't give my name out to strangers....
HB9: What?!? I gave you mine...
ME: I guess your parents didn't teach you well growing up... I'm a stranger... But I don't want to be a stranger, how can we get to know each other better? (pulled out my cell phone and acted like I got a text message -- trying to make her think that giving out her number would be her idea -- sure enough, she took the bait).
HB9: I could give you my number....
-------
Got her number. Of course this is cocky/funny so you have to imagine me smiling the whole time...
I hope to give reports on other situations... just gotta build the confidence -- that surely boosted it though! I'm just waiting for my first rejection....
