This was in Pretoria/S.Africa last year:

I walked up to a group of girl, with a thin smile and boosted confidence, right angle approach, right posture, everything fine:

Me: Hi guys. Wh...
One of them: Go there (pointed the other corner of the club with a finger and all turned their back to me)

I wanted to slap the bitch right there. Still haunts me in my dreams.

First Time Cold approaching a 3 set sober.
They are sitting on a bench eating fries after a night out.
Bear in mind I have never approached and wouldnt use canned stuff.
My Friend just pushed me to approach, the first thing that came to my head was the 'sober' nightclub we had been talking about earlier.

Me: Hey girls, have a good night?
Where were you all?

HB: Where were you?

Me: Me and my friend were looking for that new sober club

HB: 'Sarcastic' Ha, Good luck with that. **Shut Out***

Me: See you guys later, have a good night.

Epic fail but still my first cold approach, with no think-time, no target or anything to say.
Big step for me!

Lately I've been just getting totally ignored alot. The girl won't utter a word and she'll look in the opposite direction. This has been happening alot during day game of all places!

I've been getting pissed too and usually spout out something cocky on how they must not speak English.

I went through a phase like this. I discovered out the other side of it that I had reached a point where I was "too confident". I would come across as completely full of myself and that was an instant BS raiser.

Try forcing yourself to tone down your approach confidence and fake just a little nervousness. Strangely when a guy proves the balls to approach, but can't "hide" a little nervousness somehow it gets the girl routing for them. Doesn't work on HB 9-10, but seems to work amazing on HB8 or less.

For HB 9-10 have to up your game to more lifestyle/status/value building prior to approach. I've done some corny shit like fake a cell phone convo talking about VIP at a club or sweet ass vaca "i'm leaving for soon". I make it obvious I notice them while on the call, then turn away to finish and build some tension while I keep going and ignoring them. If they start to walk I just "hey I'll call you back" and go in for an opener. If they wait till I'm done (which I try to stretch out and stack some more value into) then they are like a warm set because they just start asking you about your vaca or clubing or whatever you made up.

It's total bullshit, but so is this damn game we all play. After all - all's fair in love and war.

One that springs to mind was outside a busy club. I was having a great night and having success with every girl I'd approached. By this time I was getting cocky so a friend asked me to demonstrate. The first cute girls I saw were sat on a table nearby. I wandered over to them and went for the chat up line from How I Met Your Mother:

"Have you met Rob?" *pointing towards my friend*

They looked at me, at my mate, each other then stood up and walked off without saying a word.

He started laughing at my failed attempt and then stopped rapidly once he realised that I'd just gained us a table which would have taken ages to get otherwise!
