Hello PUAs

After a lot of lurking and looking for tips (some of which tried, and most worked pretty well), I decided to join the forum and seek help, pro-actively. So, it's my first post here... and I've searched for similar stuff like the question that I'm going to ask, but couldn't find much.

Now, there are some pretty girls on Facebook (some strangers and some between whom and I are a few mutual friends) that I've been connecting up with. I tried different things (so basically I lack strategy, if you will) like poking, and/or pulling out some info. from their wall & connecting the dots, among a few other things.

With some ladies ranging HB7-10 (having mutual friends), I've tried the following:
I wouldn't send them a friend request, but just this message to get the ball rolling. Depending on how they responded (and almost all of them were like.. Oh hey, hi. So, it went good most of the time), I'd add them or stop talking.

There is, however, this bombshell of a chick that works in the same company I work with (HB10++... yea, really) that I've been dying to connect up with. We've just said "Hi" to each other only once or twice, while passing by each other. We rarely see each other, as she works in an office that's about 20 miles away; and only rarely visits her team that works from the office I'm in). Now, we have 2 mutual friends on Facebook; and I could try the above opener; hoping it to work... 'coz she'll immediately recognise me (and the fact that we've smiled to/at each other twice will aid too).

Somehow, I'm looking for something more dramatic/powerful/pulling. HB10++.. meaning she'll "BE" hard to get (plus she might have a boyfriend already, which I cannot find out unless I ask her directly about it). I don't wanna get flirtatious right away. I just need an opener at the moment. Once I get talking to her, depending on how the convo builds up, I'll either handle it (in which case I'll share how it went ).. or I know that my new-found fraternity here is always willing to help.

Thanks in advance... and Happy New Year everybody

It depends on what your looking for but that approach is too nice and they may just be like oh hi! And that's it. What i would do is talk about the classes you guys had together. "Wow! We had johnsons class together, I hated ((something funny in the class not something bad)) so much" then break it off too "lol but how you been its been ages! I checked out your profile, I remember you being such a dork, but I had the wrong idea you look fun " whatever she says back to that say "better not disappoint! " And move on from there. You are finding common ground with the same classes in your convo but you want more of a direct common ground that you can control the convo with a little more and show your a man that she tries to talk to, not you trying to talk to her. Make sense? Any tips you want or questions you have hit me up.. welcome to the forum.

Hey hustler... can I call you that?

Thanks for your quick response.

I chatted up with the girls that were in my college with that trick. In fact, in about the 2nd or 3rd message exchange, I apologised for my rude/intrusive barging on via Fb. And all the girls pretty much said:

"haha.. not rude at all. In fact, I liked that approach.. 'Fb kept insisting' LOL, it's nice connecting up with you"

----------------

The prob I have here is that this girl is a colleague, and we've just said "Hi" to each other exactly twice. No interaction other than that, not even official. She's HB10++ actually, like I wrote above. So, I think I might need something more funny in addition to what I already have. Maybe I should just change the last part, and substitute the "So, here I am... Hi" with something else. Any thoughts on that?

P.S.: I really need to get talking to this girl. And if she's single and fun, I'll convert her into meeting me up (not a REAL date yea ) within barely a month (no problem with that... although that's a little long LOL).

hell yea but were the other girls 10s though?

The 3 girls I tried it on... were HB#s 7, 8 and 10.

Worked on all of them.

any help here at all? Thanks... and sorry for the bump

One of the things i struggle personally with is the very first word, depending on who I am speaking to i judge whether i say 'hi' 'hey' 'hiya' etc etc. The best way I have found in these situations is too just add her as a friend, what's the worst that can happen? be honest, tell her she looked hot as ****, but don't sound creepy.

If she has a boyfriend then be playful about the subject, talk about something simple but with every new conversation topic make it lead to something more deep. If you feel the conversation dying and it's getting awkward then just tell her you have to go. I like the cocky/funny approach and use lines like 'yea i've got to go but text me unless you think you're too good for me..' If she responds with 'but i don't have your number?' this is an IOI, enter your number then go offline. do not wait for a response. Any more talking takes the idea of texting you away from her mind and onto something else. With practice you can pull it off easily, you just need to work on it.

I went to college with a guy that did this all the time. He was pretty good looking and an athlete so it worked out well for him. He also had girls doing it to him all the time. He would make up bs classes and other stuff just to connect. The college was huge so we had 300 people in classes. Im sure the girls didnt know if he was there or not but he started small, had great energy and would be plowing away in no time.
As for work people I think youre right to start small. I would just add her though and send her a quick message like to bad we dont ever see each other at work anymore and then turn up the good vibes.
Its a sticky situation because office and career politics get involved. My career is way to important to me to mess with for anything less than a sure relationship which makes for a sticky situation. But, a lot of people have met at work.
I also don't know if this is a career job or what so that would tell me how much you are willing to risk.
Let us know how it goes!
