Hey all,

So I attend a small 2000 person college in the U.S. I have a few concerns with game at school. For one, it's such a small school that any sort of bad reputation will spread quickly and fuck you over.

So what would be the best way to go about approaching women? Should I keep it really casual or "normal" and open with "Hey, I don't think we've met, my name's ..." Or is there another approach I should take? The last thing I want is a creepy/bad reputation.

Thanks in advance.

don't over-think it. flirt and approach girls... don't be too pushy if they don't respond well and you should be fine. You'd have to be an extremely creepy weirdo to gain a bad rep. Dating and approaching women is totally fine in college.

Thanks for the reply Brandon. Definitely suffer from overthinking things, working on doing rather than thinking. I'll take your advice and go from there. Just approach girls, be friendly and flirty, and so on and so forth.

No problem man.. just have fun with it. Remember even if you do fail or get rejected you get stronger by it because it's a learning experience... so you can just let go and just detach yourself from the expectations.

Absolutely. I just gotta get past the mental hurdle of approaching women and realize that women in college are waiting for that bold guy to come up and talk to them.

And in your situation on the small campus, framing your interactions in your mind more as "grazes" than "approaches" could help; you want to be chatty, friendly with everyone, guys & girls in this situation. Not that you don't want to do a full on pickup when it makes sense: If there is a good vibe with a girl, take her #.

You are correct in that on a campus that size if you are just an overt approach machine 24/7 your rep could deflate (as in making it look obvious that you are approaching with telling all 1000 girls on campus "hi, my names X i think you're cute" as opposed to making number-taking a part of your daily routine of having normal convos with people).

If the campus is that small, don't you ever go off campus? I can understand why people would stay on all the time in these big 15-20k places which virtually have shopping malls attached, but if it's no bigger than a high school really, then surely you have to go off campus on occasion?

Ocean:

Totally agree with what your saying, and I guess that's what I was trying to communicate. I think approaching in the PUA sense of the word might not be super effective. Rather, my plan to start would essentially be see cute girl, make eye contact, smile (hopefully get one in return =D), and then go up and say "Hi, I don't think we've met, my name's...." I feel like this method has less of a chance as coming off as creepy. I'm just being friendly and introducing myself to people I don't know.

7000:

Not so much. The area surrounding my school doesn't have much to offer in terms of nightlife. So most of the time, on-campus is where everything's happening.

Just be a chatty, normal dude. The formal approach that you suggest assumes that the two of you are strangers (which you are) but you might find it much more effective to get a chat going by assuming the two of you have things in common (which you do - you go to the same campus) by saying as your 'opening line', "why did they put all those leaves in a pile in front of the door like that" or Whatever gets a little chat going, with guys and girls. You don't have to start the convo with logical stuff. Get her name & # later in the interaction, if she seems cool.

To be honest, I don't really care what PUA stuff tells me to do. I've always opened up in college with the same boring line "Hey, I've seen you before, were you in my (name of class) class?". The moment she says "No" I'd just tell her that I probably addressed the wrong person. Then I'd strike up any type of random topic, friendly and simple. Once you've done talking to her for around 10-15 mins, I'd just leave. Next time I see her, I'll chat her a bit and tell her to give me her number so we can "hang around sometimes". You take it from there.

I don't believe in escalating in college, it comes out as creepy. I find it MUCH more beneficial escalating in bars and clubs though, it's actually the best way to a lay.
