Great job bro, keep going.
Thank you for the field report this sub is supposed to be for guys cold approaching. I don’t get why guys who only do OLD post on this sub
[–]asscrack_icecream 4 years ago [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link
Thanks man. Maybe most people are too afraid to cold approach and use OLD instead. I don’t speak for other members of this sub but I was that way for a long time. I’m now working on cold approaches instead of OLD. OLD seems like larger waste of time. Too much waiting involved when I could meet the person on the spot and get a faster result.

Ok so here’s a secret. Woman get hit on in person all the time. Our inital reaction is to ALWAYS say we are taken. So here’s what I suggest. Like the others said build a little more rapport so it doesn’t come off as you only attracted to her looks. Don’t ask if she’s taken/single . Ask her for her phone number or give her yours. If she says she’s not looking to date say something like “I wasn’t either until 5 min ago when I met you, here take my number anyways, we can take it slow and get to know each other.” Girls will build walls just for strong men to take them down. If your nocking at the wall and asking politely can she take it down it will always be a no. We want to see who’s willing to climb that wall and destroy it because we are worth it.

“I wasn’t either until 5 min ago when I met you, here take my number anyways, we can take it slow and get to know each other.
Dope line .

Alternatively: "Alright, here's what we're gonna do: you give me your phone number, and I will send you one message in a couple of days. If you want to come out then, great, if not we'll just both carry on with our lives. Sounds good?"
Ideally this should be done after building some comfort. The point is to show you know what's up, that's how the game is played, and if it's just token resistance more often than not she'll accept.

Yeah I’d be freaked out while eating my nachos 😂
[–]The_Dufe 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I’d ask her to shut up already and share these nachos with me
[–]tmi_or_nah 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You gotta be top tier for nacho sharing buddy. Husband knew how to play the game and now nacho ~together~
[–]The_Dufe 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Oh yeah, nachos are sloppy as f*ck. It’s a no brainer if you trying to get some quick brains at the mall 😂

It’s not a literal concept , there’s a way to be consistent, direct and well-meaning with out comming off pushy, annoying and harsh.
It’s a balance of emotional intelligence, Witt, and social awareness that is used to break down those barriers.
If she says “I told you I’m not interested,leave me alone please!”
Your more then likely not reading social cues, saying something generic she can tell it’s not genuine, or 5 other losers just came up to her with the same line. You can either : A. Try to redeem yourself (not recommend unless you are highly experienced) B. Just leave her alone and walk away.

Well if he’s a creep it sounds like you might be more like him when it comes to approaching a lady

That literally makes no sense , try having a better attitude, girls might like you more😉

Next time try to add constructive criticism to your complaints, it adds value to the conversation.
Thank you have a nice day!
[–]asscrack_icecream7 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Dropping gems, big thanks. I’ll keep this in mind for upcoming approaches
[–]tmi_or_nah 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I agree with giving YOUR(op’s) number. Maybe add a lil “if you change your mind I’ll be there” maybe a lil wink.
Personally what worked for me is when men gave me the option and didn’t push/pressure me to keep in contact. A little persistence is good, just know when to take the L, which is seems like you’re pretty decent at
[–]sidbunch6 38 points39 points40 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
good game, good game.
Just keep going. It's a numbers game. Them girls weren't interested. Nothing you could do. Eventually you find the girls that are!

Thanks! Not going to lie, it’s nerve racking. The anxiety before, during, and after is nuts

The feeling when walking away afterwards that you actually went for it is the best feeling ever. Even if you failed.

She laughed ...She yelled “thank you” as I was walking out She laughed, seemed shocked that I said that actually. ...... and she said thank you as I was walking away.

This is how you know you're doing things right. Keep it light, keep it fun, keep it respectful.
When guys post, "how do I know if I'm coming across as creepy?", THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW.
If they're laughing & saying thank you even as they turn you down, you're making them feel good.
.....and I noticed you. You’re very attractive so I came over to hit on you, what’s your name
This is a fantastic example of what Models is all about. Honesty & vulnerability are attractive and real. Keep it up.

[–]CA-GMOW 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I remember the good old precovid days here in Canada, specially in university clubs.
As a scene leader I would talk to anyone any where to promote the club. It also opened doors to talking to people from our club when I see them in other places. Really teaches you how to talk to people specially while being goofy, and friendly in an outdoor events to get more people. Idk why this post reminds me of all that and pokemon lmao.
You 'gotta (keep) catching em all' as much as you can to increase the number of women around you. You can also use women to get to other women (or a pokemon for getting another). But that's a little tricky at times. Good approaches! I have never approached a girl that's working, so that's something I need to do once I start going out again.
[–]Churroking69 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good start OP. I think for the food festival, you should try asking any girl you like if they're food is good and try have 10 min conversation to build rapport. Then you can tell them you're interested and ask for their socials/number or even insta date and invite them for a drink at a nearby bar.
I think direct has it's place, but you're also forcing them to make an assesment of you within seconds of meeting you. If you give them some time to warm up to you, and you show you're at least socially attuned enough to hold a conversation, you'll get way better results from my experience.
[–]Nullroute127 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good job. You'll get somewhere doing these reps!
Some pointers to reflect on:
- When hitting on women at work calling out the faux-pas of doing so will lessen its impact, "I know it's social faux-pas since you're working...." It just make you seem better socially calibrated. Psychologically, she's not allowed to think it if you say it first, as odd as it sounds. At a more intermediate-advanced level, if you can get her to give you permission to hit on her it will go better, "I have something I want to tell you, but I know you're working and don't want to get you in trouble." If she says, "No tell me" she's basically pre-accepted anything you tell her since she invited it. However, doing this your tonality, body language, etc. needs to be calibrated - so it's something a bit more advanced. In these early stages your directness will get you better results, but just keep these things in mind as you develop.
- For the second case, she gave you a condition, not an objection. She didn't say it directly but what she likely meant was, "You haven't offered me enough value and/or comfort for me to yet consider you as a romantic prospect." So, the play here was likely to back off but flirtily, "Let's at least trade names first before committing to a non-relationship." If you say this right it'll knock her back a bit - she might be slightly put in her head that she said something presumptive or jumped the gun. However, I'm not sure what happened with the intermediary exchanges you referred to.
For approaches at the workplace, being more direct that you're not just chatting as a customer can be good. However, for approaches in public like scenario 2, she knows you're there to hit on her because you approached her at all - you can assume that your reasoning is sufficiently implied. So, lines that reinforce this but also frames it in a masculine way. For example, a cocky-funny line might be, "I just wanted to provide the opportunity to share your nachos with a cute boy." Just know that your tonality and body language need to be on point. This is more likely to instigate a shit test like, "What makes you think I'd want to share my nachos with a stranger?" To which you might respond, "Well, have you looked at me?"
The main theme at your stage is to stay in the set longer vs giving up. Unless you get a clear, "Go away" it's generally OK to stay even if you get conditions.
[–]putcoolusernamehere 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Good job putting yourself out there. However (this isn’t just you who does this), I wouldn’t approach someone who’s working. They are doing there job, give them some space. They’re the easy low hanging fruit because they are being paid to be nice to you, but it puts them in a tough spot. There are millions out there who aren’t working to approach.
I completely understand this. That’s why I only did it as I was walking out/leaving. I know it’s not the ideal circumstance but I just figured why not since I was already at the door
[–]focus_flow69 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
To be the devils advocate, do what you want as long as you are respectful.
Is it worth it to give up meeting someone because they are at work? This someone could potentially be the love of your life. You never know. But by not approaching because you cater to these beliefs, you deprive yourself of the opportunity. I personally operate on a do not give a fuck and will do what I want mentality. She is free to reject as I am free to approach.
[–]sincere_blasphemy 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
True! I’d say it’s okay as long as you are respectful of the fact that they are working and required to be friendly/polite. If they express disinterest, then politely excuse yourself and walk away.
I asked my partner who works as a barista what he thinks. He said that he thinks it’s fine to approach a worker if you stay respectful. He said it’s awkward if they reject you because a lot of the time, they can’t walk away, and they don’t know for sure if you will walk away from them.
[–]RedditAtWorkIsBad 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Or maybe instead of going in with the intent on hitting on them, just approach with the GOAL of making their day brighter. Pay them a compliment and walk away. I you get a good vibe, you could either then push the issue, or on your next visit if that is in the cards.
Nevertheless, I actually really like OP's approach of "I came over to hit on you". Direct, confident. But your point about women who are working is a very good one to consider.
[–]innergamedude 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, direct game is fun, but I commonly wound up with this "well now what?" moment after the opener.
[–]asscrack_icecream 4 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
I feel you. More practice I assume will help
[–]innergamedude 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm not sure. I feel that with Direct Game, the moment you've gone direct, you've sprung interest on a woman before she is ready for it and so the conversation instantly seems to pivot to "How do I get rid of this guy?" One of "rules" of game is you can't hit on someone before they're attracted to you. But obviously, you have to work out how to get noticed in the first place.
There has to be way to set up "We're hanging out together in a low-pressure way so that you can notice me long enough to decide you're interested." Maybe some kind of "I've gotta go in a sec" False Time Constraint or someone other way of letting her know that you're delivering this comment in passing, on your way out the door.
If that happens, it happens. With practice, and with the right woman, things will flow naturally. Best to not fret about a line, or a topic, etc. Maybe one casual off-the-cuff observation and that can spark a conversation.
[–]Matt_Bigmonster 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
As long as you spread positive vibes you have nothing to be ashamed off. You both left the interaction with endorphins and a smile :)
You’re right!
[–]Matt_Bigmonster 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Also, enjoy it while it last, we all strive to shed the approach anxiety but when it happens it's not as exciting. Natural lifestyles had a great line. Stop thinking of this as approach anxiety, think of it as APROACH ENERGY.
[–]rattled_by_rush 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
What surprised me so much is how happy most girls are when they get compliments. Idk if it's good game (I'll leave that to the more experienced daygamers) but it's always a great feeling to tell some random girl how cute she is and have her beaming with the biggest smile and thanking you. It really changed my perspective on how most women think, because my assumption for years was that they would spit and scream and mace you and call the cops if you so much as acknowledge their appearance.
Also, good work. These are both solid approaches.
[–]Bosscat727 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Good! Those exchanges seemed to be positive at least. Smiles and laughs and they were polite. Even though they said no it’s not the end of the world as you see. Don’t worry about the ones who say no. You will get a yes and those are the ones that count.
Thanks man, needed to hear this. Need to keep at it and find those ones who say yes
[–]VNF420 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

[–]cronasminate 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lol this is why I don't believe it when people say they do daygame. These are warm up sets at most.
[–]backindis1 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
nowadays it's hard to get momentum with daygame
you need to be in a spot with quite a number of attractive girls out and about. otherwise you'll be walking and idling a lot, just waiting and watching for some girls to talk to
i personally don't get into conversations unless i'm sure that the girl is interested in talking to a man that's approached her. reality is that most girls you daygame are not interested in that, so they'll usually instant reject you or say they have a boyfriend. i leave in those cases, not really a fan of chit chatting at that point
[–]nofapHER0 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ur a king just for approaching.
Now this is what I did that 100x my results: I record voice memos reviewing what I did right/wrong that night. There’s always something to improve on :)

[–]SpecialistWorld15921 point 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
good but next time don't go straight to the "hitting on her", just talk to her casually and be interested in starting a conversation, then introduce yourself if you get the chance.
