Im going to a anime convention in a couple weeks

Girls there, very hot.

I have 5 hours to get as many numbers as possible.

Im direct with approaches. Complements, like SASHA

How, and what do i say to maintain enough comfort to exchange numbers or maintain contact afterwards? assuming that ive already got attraction between me and the girl.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

numbers aren't shit. Attraction is ok, but it'll go away real quick and she'll start doubting it. You need at least some comfort(emotional connection-e.g. common interests) which you might use an excuse to meet her again for. Even if you're meeting her for an unrelated thing. Otherwise, you're looking for flaky numbers.

the thing about number closing fast, is it leaves some intrigue behind you if you do it well, you do something direct and confident that leaves you in her mind with an emotional impact behind it,

the drawbacks are that you have no investment from her and you are just some random guy, so quickly the momentum from that impact will slow down and eventually she won't care, without the connection she can not put a face to you,

you have to carry the momentum you create from your numbers relatively quickly, and give her a reason to desire meeting with you

so this is where you get to practice man, I suggest following up on all of your numbers as soon as possible, the same day you get them even maybe an hour after the number close, just have an excuse to leave, go get more numbers, and start a bunch of text conversations, some girls will not even respond, some will be highly responsive, you will see a plethora of responses, start practicing and figuring out your own way of converting these numbers into meetups

I suggest 1-2 days of building rapport and when you want a meet up let her know over text you will call her the next day or w/e, then invite her out over the phone rather then over text, and make the invite for that same day, if she doesn't answer the phone when you told her you were going to call then it is obvious non-compliance

if she texts you back right away after missing the call, just call her immediately while her phone is in her hand

the more numbers you have to work with the better, have fun

now that youve said that, so
i approach directly,
ask her what she does

then what? running out of things to say is usually my downfall..

here is an interesting excersise for you, don't think of obtaining anything from the girl, approach with only telling the truth, and speaking your mind as your goal, if you freely express yourself, consider the excersise a success,

just approach the girl, and tell her what you think about her, and why you are talking to her

it could be something as simple as, hey I saw your costume and think you look awesome, I totally wanted to meet you,

all the way to hey, you're fucking sexy, I came over here to get into your pants, wish me luck

what ever it is, opener is not that important, the main point behind the direct opener is just to not hide your intentions, just speak freely from your mind without filter, if you are in set and you are thinking, ''fuck I'm running out of things to say, this girl is hot, what do I say?''

then you should probably just say,

''fuck I'm running out of things to say, you're really hot, I don't know what I should say''

just absolutely let your mind flow free, it is not about this or that being better or worse, the more you practise this, the more comfortable you can be in these situations, your mind will become more relaxed and you can start having fun rather then basing your happiness on external validation, and how well you do, ironically once you can relax and have fun you will see the results as a side effect but you need to detach from the outcome

when you seriously have nothing left to say, or just plain and simply don't feel the need to talk to the girl anymore, just tell the girl,

''you seem kinda cool, we should hang out some time, do you ... (insert activity you would like to do with her, or if you are blanking just say, drink coffee?)''

then based off that you know if she is up for it or not, if she isn't interested in a date, you can try to hang in there longer to get a better connection and raise her buying temp to try again for a date or a solid rejection, or you can just cut your losses and eject to the next girl

your goal for the event should be to have fun hitting on the girls and talking to people, this goal is nearly impossible to reach until you feel comfortable approaching strangers and talking to them for your own enjoyment
