I've been lurking around this sub for around 3 weeks now (coincides with my recently single status) and have been picking up tips here and there. This sub has helped me realise that I'm actually pretty decent when it comes to girls. I've had success in the last couple of years with a few girls but nothing compared to the majority on here. I'd like to point out that I've only done one cold approach so far (it was a #-close but she had a boyfriend).

Anyway I was heading into town today as I felt I needed some new summer clothes and shirts for work. I had a heavy day out in London yesterday so I felt I was in no condition to drive. It's been a grim day weather wise and the hangover hasn't helped the mood so I'm not thinking about trying out any techniques.

I get a text as soon as I get to the station from the girl I'm supposed to be seeing later tonight. She's really ill and wants to reschedule for next Friday. No worries from my end. I'm waiting for the train and I notice a girl arrive on the same platform. She's pretty, no doubts about that. Slim frame, brunette those daisy-duke type shorts over leggings. We make eye contact as she enters the platform and I decide to go for it.

I walk over, 'Hi, how are you?' We get the introductions out of the way, (she's heading home after a wedding yesterday) and get the formalities out of the way. All the time I'm keeping eye contact and going with that triangle approach to eye contact. She mentions she's got exams going on studying for medical school.

Train pulls up and we carry on the conversation. I do a bit of push-pull with the fact that she likes cheap wine. I start conversation threading her studies and her drinking habits. I'm not using any lines but I'm making her laugh using sarcasm.

Despite this I've not been overly flirty and the train's pulling into the station.

Me: 'I suppose it's just revision for you today then if you have an exam tomorrow.'

Her 'Yep, all I'll be doing is revising, revising, revising.'

Me: 'Well, i'll let you in on a little secret. Coffee goes great with revising and there happens to be a coffee shop around the corner.'

Boom. Insta-date with this girl and we're off for a coffee. I keep up the push-pull and go for a bit of kino (touch her necklace, legs touching and a bit of brushing her hair away from her face). I tell her I need to get to the shops before they close and that I'll have to leave her.

Me: 'I suppose after the exams are over you'll need something to do other than drink cheap wine.

Her: 'Yeah although I'm pretty busy over the next few weeks.'

Me: 'Yeah, but you can make time for a drinking buddy, proper drinks no £4 wine.'

She smiles as I put my phone on the table and she enters her number. We leave the cafe together. We hug and as she's going to leave I grab her by the hand and say I'm going to try something. Go in for the kiss and get one back. I cut it short and head off to spend a shit-load of money on shirts.

I reckon I could've been more suggestive and sexual when talking. But I've read many times on this sub that being yourself and enjoying the moment are key. I guess I need to make myself more sexual in the process.

But we've agreed to meet next week before she left.
