DIRECT OPEN: Open a girl at teh bar seemingly by herself. Tell her ''I know this is a bit forward, but I just saw you a thought you looked hot and thought i'd say hi''. She's looking a bit freaked out and doesn't reply. I try another statement of empathy and am like ''I know it's a bit weird!, but you caught my eye and I couldn't help myself''. She's still kind of frozen. She says ''oh. Ok'' and kind of looks away and turns her back partially away from me. I think about asking her name, but shes made it clear she's not into me and I bail

DIRECT OPEN: I am in a bar that has a dancefloor, and as i'm walking towards it, 2 gorgeous girls are walking towards me. I put my arm out to slow them down and they comply, and then I tell the hot one that I think she's gorgeous and I wanted to talk to her. She just grabs her friend and they both basically run away lol

DIRECT OPEN: I open a girl on the dancefloor who is dancing near me. I'm trying to kind of force an IOI by dancing and gesturing with my hands etc, and after a few seconds she looks at me and we make eye contact. I move in like I just noticed her and I tell her she's sexy. She just looks at me with a completely neutral expression (better than angry I guess!). I ask her name and she just spins around and dances away lol.

This isn't going well tonight lol. My brother tells me to stop with the direct stuff since i'm not handsome. (thanks, bro!! haha)

INDIRECT OPEN: I open 2 girls at the bar and rock an old school opinion opener. One of them laughs and the other is just passive. I ask them how they know each other and we do the usual names, ages stuff. I try to cram in a cold read based on her tattoos. I'm not sensing any attraction, and they just seem like social/friendly girls. I decide to test the waters and throw a statement of intent of sorts and tell her she's kinda cute and ask her friend if we make a hot couple. They laugh. We chat a bit more and I bring in a few of my friends to try to wing me, but within like 1 minute, they girls both say they gotta go. I could tell mine wasn't actually attracted to me and so didn't bother going for the number or whatever.

INDIRECT/DIRECT: It's late and bars have just closed. I decide to try 'indirect/direct' opener that some PUA's use. I see a hot girl on a bench sitting by herself. I open her and tease her massive handbag or something, and I just sit next to her. I ask how her night was, and then I tell her 'Actually, I just wanted to talk to you because I thought you looked Hot AF!''. She laughed and said 'That's cute, but you're not my type. Sorry''. I banter with her a little bit to make sure it's not a test, but after a few mins it's clear that she wasn't playing! I go home.
