So I have had this issue for some time now and i just can't quite seem to figure this out.
Hopefully, some more competent people will be able to shed some light.
Basically, I can open any set. Befriend males easily, make friends with randoms, etc.
My issue however is every time I open attractive women, i.e. HB9s i cant seem to get passed the opening. I open, make a few comments we joke around and then im stuck. So i tend to eject and the process continues.
My openers are generally a situational neg. So it always sounds sincere, (not really as if i am trying to pick them up just tease).
example:
So yesterday, i opened these two absolute stunning girls, negged them about being tall (they were about 5 foot 11, im about 5 foot

, they hugged me an we were having heaps of fun. We had a friendly banter and then i eject.
I ran into them again later on that evening, they were with some other friends and they responded really well. They both cuddled me and said hey etc etc.
I then, teased them a bit and then tried to focus on the tanned girl. I asked where she was from and then i pretty much don't want to seem like i am trying to pick them up as this may come out as uncool or sleazy. So stumped i just told her she was cute, she smiled and said thanks and then i just said ok im going to find my friends.
I have come out of a 5 year relationship, where i was with an attractive girl (HB9) and i think i am stuck in the mentality that sexually advancing or appearing as if i am trying to pick them up too soon seems sleezy, like the guys that use to try make moves on my ex.
Also if my male friends are with me, i can generally take the girls, bring them over to guys and join the groups. Any girl over HB7 i will rarely close. I generally wonder off at this point as i dont want to ruin the cool persona. More often than not, the girls will hook up with one of my friends.
I guess i am a superb wingman LOL.
Any help is appreciated.
