[quote="JSmooth"][quote="omegafire"]What's up guys!
How well do direct approaches work? Like just walking up to her and saying shes hot and asking for her number. What is her usual response/reaction? I'm assuming really good looking guys can pull it off, but what about everyone else
Good question. I also wonder about this. Last Friday, I did use this to sarge an HB8.
Clooney: Here we meet again!
HB: [Smiles]
Clooney: If you don't mind my saying this, I think you look really lovely.
HB: Oh, thanks! It's my birthday.
Clooney: Wow ! Happy Birthday!
HB: THanks
Clooney: When I saw you, you instantly reminded me of X-Factor. My cousin is auditioning for it. And you look like last year's winner, Alexandra!
HB: My name is Alexandra!
Cloooney: No way! What are the chances of this happening?! Do you sing?
HB: Yes.
Then, I carried on the chat. Two guys were watching all this in a public place.
[To American PUAs, X-Factor is Britain's equivalent of American Idol. It gave the world Leona Lewis]
She told me she's off to Nando's with her friends.
Clooney: You don't deserve to take the bus to get there. Where's the limo?!
Alexandra: My friend is runnning late. That's why I had to take the bus.
Should I have number-closed? This is still my weakness. After this success, I didn't even ask for her number.
This was the first time I ever used the direct opener. How did I do? This girl is actuallly prettier than Alexandra Burke. Mystery says that a PUA shouldn't telegraph interest with a compliment. What do you think? By giving compliments, so early, am I coming across as a "nice guy?" Would an Alpha male really just go in and say "You look lovely, I had to come and talk to you." An HB8 or 9 would be getting hit on like this every day.
I really need the experienced guys to give us advice on this topic.
I look forward to hearing from you.
PS:
Unbelievably, on a different bus, on the next morning, the same girl comes on. She notices me and says Hello. On the previous night, I wore a baseball cap. This time, I had not cap. Yet, she still recognised me. We talked. Yet, I still let her go without number-closing. Why? The usual fear of rejection. Also, I felt we would be bumping into each other again. So, not asking for her number could be to my advantage as I'm not showing interest. What do you think?
