Alright, so last night I started to approach women again. It's been quite a while since I have. For whatever reason I fell into the trap of ignoring it and waiting for 'em to approach me. It used to work okay, but the 'laid back' approach I had was taken too far and eventually the good reputation I had amongst girls faded. Neither bad nor good. To cut a long story short - things are slowly getting back on track.

Approached 3 girls in a club last night, knew one of them through a friend but not very well. The other two (targets) I hadn't met, but I was surprised at how I was able to engage them. Started by asking for a cig, had a bit of a joke with one of the targets. Said to them; "What's the best gift you've been given." ... Then followed it with "The reason I ask is because I've got a good friends birthday coming up and I have no idea what to buy her." ... The topic owned. The two targets especially started debating what would work. IE - One said flowers etc, the other disagreed. So I negged on the target who suggested flowers with the other one, playing it up.

The convo proceeded and was pretty good. I had their undivided attention, used kino like high fives after a couple jokes they liked etc. My biggest problem was deciding who to number close. The one closest was using plenty of kino, but the other target was trying to lean in and not miss the convo. Anyway - I decided due to the kino etc, the closest one would be the most logical. Got her number, which the girl I half knew took my phone and was trying to put it in for me. Kept doing it wrong, so I kept helping her back to the start menu. The target I didn't end up choosing then says something like "Oooh look how much he wants the number" or some crap. I shrugged it off, actually took it as a compliment, as I figure she was just upset I didn't ask her.

During the convo, I had a girl I knew come up ... Made a point of introducing them, as I've read it DHV. Definitely seemed to work, coupled with the girl I half knew talking about how I'd already kissed one of their friends a few months back. Also got a couple of messages during this period too.

The question; when do I message said girl? I've read plenty of different suggestions. Some say always wait 3 days, others say 2, but more recently I read that you should message them within the 24 hours so they don't 'forget' you. What should I do?

Dude, I don't think it matters. As long as you have cool to say or if your texts are going in a meaningful direction (i.e. if you start your msg with, "I'm bored. So what are you up to" i dont think it will work no matter how many days you wait).
