So can I deviate just slightly, and if this needs a completely new thread let me know.

But what if a girl comes up to you and says you like "such and such" (i.e. famous movie actor, athlete, good looking person).

Is that just a general comment or if a chick says that is that her way of trying to initiate conversation?
And what would the response be?

e.g. you like Jude Law, or you like Justin Timberlake.... something like that

ive been told i look like anything from Meatloaf to Jennifer Aniston (Seriously. Apparently a bloke with long hair looks like EVERYONE.) And i see any comment about my appearance as being opened. even openers that get a strong negative response are better than "meh" right?

in mid-conversation i consider a complement to be an escalation invitation (EI; new terminology? )

ok, so i like Chino's post. i read it a couple of days ago, tried it today...and #-closed. i think its a reall nice comeback. however, i like chief's response too....so which one is better. Chief-if you could please further elaborate...please do so. i think this is a really good topic

we need to bring this thread back to life!! im really anxious to get some more insight on this!

Chief, btw it works like a charm.

I am reletively new to pick up but a couple of times the target has said something along the lines of 'your cute'. When this happened I had a go at what Chino said and I thought it worked well.

In all circumstances it got a laugh and one of the sets I was going horribly, surprisingly the target said 'your handsome' and I followed this up with Chino's suggestion. Immediately the HB started intiating kino with me, the 3 set opened up and the AMOG that was shuting me out started qualifying himself to me. I thought I was dreaming. Now it wont have this effect every set but I think it is a great, viable option.

Guys, instead of just repeating this stuff and getting giddy over some results, observe . . .

Think about her reactions. . . her emotions . . . how is everything flowing? How did things work? . . . This is how you begin to figure out your own stuff. Once you understand the underlying reasons behind the progression in your interaction with others, you won't have to memorize, you won't have to plan, you'll just RUN IT. And the coolest thing is you'll feel yourself being on top of every situation. A little strange reaction from her and you'll know why, and like a ranch dog who runs around the perimeter of a herd to pick up all the loose pieces, you'll be able to instantly adjust to minor hiccups before things blow up.

Also . . . the "kiss her now" thing is what I really do. Anytime if you're in a situation where you can "demonstrate" your intentions and "verbalize" your intentions, always go for the demonstration. Girls telling you, "I think you're cute" takes A LOT of guts. And this is somewhat of a "private message" so usually, they're close to you. Know any girl who doesn't like to be kissed by a cute guy?

Anyhow . . . I also like both Kino and Chief's angle with this. It just depends on goals and how you want to run it.

an easy thanks or sexual remark is all you need for that one. hell half the time a girl tells me that i barely acknowledge it. i know im fuckin good lookin.. and i know she thinks im good looking so who cares when she actually says it?

as for the guy who didnt like being called cute. its really a good thing. i used to have that problem too where i hated being called cute... but now its like "hell yeah im cute... wanna fuck?"

not sure i agree with you boss. i often recieve compliments on my looks by girls. its so damn obvious that im attractive that the chick feels she has to say it. its like the female version of DLV. u know instead of me being the one that cant help myself from calling her beautiful its the other way around. and again my attractiveness is so out there that girls say it in front of everybody cause noone can deny it...

:damn i seem really big headed in this post: not trying to though

I have had girls say I am cute, but never really emotional level more like teasing, and I would reply cocky with "I know, I know". But I am gonna try some of the other stuff because at the personally level I can imagine it is a lot different.

Also have had a girl once say to me I was cool, I wonder if that goes along the same level as cute or not???

It depends on when a girl says "You cute". I think two of these make sense... You kiss her or id go with "Your sexy". For me it would depend on the situation ive seen girls say something like "Your cute" in order to give you a god dam hint, ya know? If your escalating id say "Your sexy" thats dead on good advice that I will not even say ive ever done.

However most of the time I have been told this was not in this type of situation. For example I know this really shy type girl and she said the same thing to me the other day. If I had done either of the above metioned ideas id prolly never see her again. What I said was "Cute? ...ahh I am wayyy better looking than cute, common?"

Which provoked a laugh. I thought I did ok. Its a dangerious senario though because the worst thing would be dead silence so I just kept the ball rolling. This I did and im assuming here... with how cute I am!

going with what Chief said

Her: You're cute
You: and together we're sexy.

you compliment yourself and her at the same time while stimulating the idea of being seen as a couple. Just a though.

I'm totally trying that.

awesome! can i get a free workshop? haha

id be like...

AAANNNNNNDDDDDDDDD... youuurrrr theee thirrrddd person who has said that tonight!!!... I HAve a personality as well you know!!!
