Hey all, I'm slowly but surely and more determinedly getting back into the seduction/self improvement game.

I am very much a direct approach kinda guy, straight to the point, break the ice with a compliment and let them know my intents immediately. But since I have been out of it for so long I am pretty rough at it and don't have a structure/game plan per se I'm trying to follow.

Ex:-

I break with a "Hi there, I thought you were cute/you have a really pretty smile! I just wanted to come over and say hi/introduce myself" Then I make small talk about whatever she's doing/what she does(school so very easy topic to transition to.) and talk about regular stuff. This conversation goes from 2-5 minutes, then I cut out with a hard blunt out like "I gotta go get to X but let's grab a coffee or a drink sometime."

It's only worked like 3-4 out of 12 times so far. (but worked on almost every non white girl so far lol)

I know I am missing an element of making her laugh somewhere in there and something about demonstrating higher value for myself or something.

Was wondering if there is some basic PoA I'm missing.
