ok so here's my question: for women who work in stores/malls, after using a situational opener, how do i smoothly transition into a conversation, to getting a number close?
since they are there for work, it is easy to open with a situational but any topic beyond that seems to be somewhat difficult to start with. any help appreciated.
I prefer opening direct during day game, not only does it convey elephant dump's amount of confidence, but even if you don't close, it really makes the girl's day.
Indirect: If she's working at a clothing store, browse the items on display, optimally she will come over and ask if you need help. If she doesn't, ask her for help. This is where you convey some personality to separate yourself from every other customer. joke, neg, tease,
"Excuse me. Would you be so kind to hold this up in front of you for a moment? It's my sister's birthday next week and you are about the same size as her and from what I can tell, :), you have the same excellent fashion sense.
You can even ask her if she sees anything else that she really likes in the store that your sister might like. MAke fun of her for her recommendation "If you could turn of the camera's for a minute, what would you steal in here?
That's what I want to get her"
Since they have a similar sense of fashion, probe for keywords why she likes certain things over the others etc. If you're fun, she will be more than happy to chat with you instead of being bored at work.
