Ask for the number. Ask for the date. Go in for the kiss. Go in for the bedroom.

The difference between a winner and a loser is not strategy and is not tactics. A winner doesn't fret over IOIs, a winner goes in for the close and more often than not things work out.

I would rather be rejected than live with regret of not closing.

Pickup is a numbers game. This means if you have a 10% success rate you have to ask out 10 women before you get a date. Look at the most up voted post of all time: he was rejected hundreds of times in order to succeed.

Regardless of how an interaction goes, I always close. The best that can happen is I get what I want and the worst that can happen is usually nothing or inconsequential.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

In my experience, IOIs occur after you make a move. So a woman won't show overt interest until you make a move. Then it will be revealed how much she is in to you, based on her reaction to your move.
