Of course it would be difficult to do absolutely nothing and pick up women, but I definitely don't put a whole lot of effort into it. What I do works with women I know who I see on some kind of regular basis so if you're looking for a quick pickup I won't be talking about it here.

I know some of you are dead afraid of and discourage entering the friend zone, but I encourage it for girls you will be seeing again through friends. To be clear, if she is open on the first night or you are picking her up one on one, you probably shouldn't use this approach. Otherwise, chill out with the whole spitting game routine and start being real. You will be able to build trust as well as show her your different sides over time instead of acting like a schizophrenic tryhard trying to get laid on the first night.

  • First time meeting her: Be gentleman. You don't necessarily have to charm her and kiss her hand or anything over the top, but you should shake her hand, smile, introduce yourself, open doors, and act like the nice contributing society member you should already be. You want to establish yourself as a good person and someone she will see again, but you don't have to do anything besides that.

  • Second time seeing her: Treat her like one of your friends. Give her a hug, high five, fist bump or just say whats up if you're not comfortable with that yet. Now is the time to establish yourself as someone with merit and interest, not just another guy. If you take a car ride with her on the way to a party, sing along with the music and dance in the car. If there is a group discussion going on, make a sarcastic remark to get her to laugh or tell a funny story. I think we are all pretty funny and interesting and by using the friendzone you can allow your personality to flow naturally. Flirt, but keep it casual.

  • Subsequent times seeing her: Don't hit on her, but keep any sexual tension you have established going. Every guy friend she has ever had has hit on her and made a run. You're different, you're the trustworthy guy who is fun to be around with no romantic stress. Flirt physically and mentally, but keep it friendly. You're sending a message to her: I'm cool and fun and I don't really care about trying to get with you because I'm fine with being friends. Don't ever timidly say you like her or anything like that which detracts from what you've built. Joke about taking her on a date or being romantic, but don't take it too far.

At this point you are in position for hooking up with her at some point. There will be an opening. There will be a point where you guys are drunk or shes had a bad week or shes feeling lonely where she will want you. You're fun and strong and stable and you don't care what happens, you're desirable. You just have to be patient and wait for your opening and know when that is. You will know when the time comes and you shouldn't hesitate to act on it.

I've waited days, weeks, and years, but it has always worked and it's easy, you just need to have patience.
