Hey what's goin on guys. My name's Stephen (Stevo). I'm 20 and I live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Got into this about a month ago, Reading Neil Stratuss' "The Game" still and it's great to compare what is in the book and what is going on in this forum.
I'm a confident guy, I can talk to girls, I can make them laugh etc etc.. the thing is I can't close, I don't know if it's me not being able to read signs or if my flirting isn't coming across strong enough for the girl to know that im flirting. I just want to use this as a tool to help me and help me spot IOI's and learn how to close; be it by getting a number, a kiss or F**k.
Anyway hope to talk to a lot of people on this so I'll be floating around the forum looking for tips and asking for advice so please help me out when you can.

Hey Stevo. My names Scott, im also 20 and just getting into this. I've been reading the Gambler's Natural art of seduction. I was just wondering if you've had any luck with your openers and what works best ?

Hey Scott, thanks for your reply man. I'm sure we can help each other out.
I have to say my favorite openers are more physical than verbal. On dancefloors in clubs if u spot a girl, make eye contact with her, when u get eye contact, smile and move towards her (not so quickly otherwise she'll feel intimidated) - put out your hand (as if to say "take my hand" or "do you want to dance?")

1- if she hesitates to take your hand , raise ur eyebrows, smile and maybe tilt ur head to one side (the reason = your trying to reassure her that it's safe to take ur hand)

2- once she takes your hand, spin her - when she's facing you again, kiss her hand or squeeze it (whichever ur comfortable with). She'll probably smile or laugh

3- the reason girls dance is to have fun, so dance with her but remember - the moment u stop her doing what she wants or stop her having fun, she'll want to leave.

4- be playful - maybe take her by the belt loops in her jeans and dance with her closer

Remember to keep eye contact through this.

It'll get to a point where a song finishes or there is a brief silence, maybe ask her would she like a drink, or go to get some air - then proceed with conversation.

What do you think? what's your favorite thing to do?

Hey Steve, Good to get speaking to someone who is also new to this. Some good tips, yet to be put into action but i definitely have to improve my club game. Planning to work on my day game first, know how to flirt, make girls laugh its just the transition to the close. So shall be practising this. How have you been getting on ?
On the otherhand I would appreciate a bit of outside advice on a little problem of mine. I have been seeing this girl casually for about 5 Months. Playing it cool, having a good time and managing to keep it casual, relatively easy. She has been chasing me constantly. Last couple weeks, stopped the texting as much or they have been vague, want advice on how to get her interest level back up, mainly via text until I see her again. Any tips appreciated man.

I've been getting on ok, the only problem i've been having is getting the girl from the club to my room lol. My day game is non existant because im in university all day nearly every day and i use the days im off to catch up on work or sleep. so clubs/pubs are the only real way for me to play at the moment.
As for the advice on the txting the girl i'm sorry i am no good at that kind of thing mate. maybe think about the way u where at the very beginning to make her interested in the first place and decide if u have changed ur tactics much since then? it mite be a good idea to go back to what u did at the very start.
Thats the best iv got for u sadly pal.
Good luck with it though.

What kind of openers u be using?

Hey steve, ive been getting on good. Im going for direct openers, with varying degrees of success it must be said lol. But im having a good time and the girls always enjoy themselves as im not coming across to aggresive or arrogant, but still bold and cocky. Hows your gaming going bro, more interested in some advice on the best way to take it after the opener ?

Hope your well.

I haven't been gaming in a while man. Which sucks but its because of university work I haven't had the time (or money) to go out much recently.
I have to say i'm on a rocky boat, i can open and get the girl talking but on down the conversation seems to dry up and i find it hard to keep it interesting.
I'm not saying i'm a boring guy but its hard to know strategically what should come next (but not have the whole thing scripted!)

Any tips on that for me?
Take it easy man!
Stevo!
