This week I’ve got some really interesting attitudes for you to consider.
Do you ever wonder what girls are thinking when you approach them?
Most guys tend to believe the girl they’re approaching is going to “catch” them trying to pick them up when they approach.
They believe the girl is thinking about all the different ways she can reject them before they even open their mouths.
So they try to HIDE their true intentions.
They try to come off as a guy who just “wants to be their friend.”
But little do they know they are doing more harm than good.
See, if a girl is even half-way decent looking, chances are she’s used to being approached by guys looking to date her.

So a girl KNOWS what you want if you’re bothering to approach her.
She’s thinking:
“Oh, this guy must be interested in me.”
At this point, she has two choices…
The first is to reject him, because she’s not interested for some reason.
The second is to play along and see where it goes because she IS interested.
What most guys try to do is bypass the option where she could reject them because they don’t want to go through that pain.
So they try to “weasel” their way into her life by acting COMPLETELY disinterested in her romantically.
At that point, the girl starts to think:
“Okay, I guess he’s not into me. But he’s cool, he’ll make a good friend.”
But once the guy tries to make his move on her, she’ll reject him, because he’s already been pegged into the “friend” category.
Why?
Because he removed himself as a potential LOVER early on! That’s why!
See, by trying to bypass the possibility of rejection, what most guys are really doing is setting up a long, drawn-out, painful experience.
They’re going to get to know the girl, like her, pine over her, and never get her to like them in the same way they like her.
Whereas if she rejected you as a potential romantic partner outright, it would sting for a little bit, but you’d know if you were wasting your time or not.

But here’s the thing…
What if I told you there was a way to easily meet a girl, not hide your intentions, and not get rejected?
Would that be of interest to you?
If so, read on, because I’m going to show you how to do it…
I’m a very big proponent of approaching women in an indirect fashion.
I like this style of approach because it minimizes your risk of getting rejected.
(And if you’ve read The Art Of Approaching, you’ll know why this is.)
BUT, I do not think you should continue to hide your true intentions PAST the initial meeting.
This is because women KNOW why you approach them. They aren’t dumb. They can tell what’s going on.
But if you convince them otherwise, and then later try to become romantic, you’ve just proven that you’ve LIED to them and they can’t trust you.

Let’s find out what are some great ways to approach girls, then how to get the first date.
Approach Techniques
A lot of guys ask me, “How do I just go up to a group and start talking?” Well, let me tell you what works from past experience:
1-Use Humor. I had a friend I did a schtick with that ALWAYS got us into the group. One of us would go to a girl in the group and be like, “Hey, I need your help on something. Do you think my friend Mike—or whatever your friend’s name is—is gay? I mean, look at his nice shirt, nice hair, nice skin. He’s gotta be gay!” Not only do girls laugh at this, but they feel they have to give their input. Nothing quite flatters like asking for advice.
2-Ask questions. As in the previous example, asking a group for their opinion on something—especially something funny—is a great way to get inside the group, then get to the girl you’re interested in. If you ask the question in a genuine way, and listen intently, the group of girls will feel flattered and excited. You’ve also given them a spark to an otherwise boring evening out. Joke about their answers, and ask more questions, and you should be in for a while.
3-Develop a secret, “inside” joke. Nothing works quite like having something personal between you and a group of people. An inside joke, or a secret handshake or sign, is a great way to do things. Try saying something to the group like, “Hey, ya know, we need a secret handshake or something.” Girls are all about making connections, so doing something that builds a strong foundation for friendship means guaranteed success.
But the all time best method: #4-Tell a story. This is what the guy I consider to be the original master of the art of approaching, Joseph Matthews, aka Thundercat, recommends, and it works not only for groups of girls but also for one girl in particular. He says,
“When you first meet a girl, it is usually a good idea to have at least 3 openers and 3 stories memorized that you can talk to them about. Be sure that the openers and stories are good, open-ended, and interactive conversation pieces. Then, you’re going to STACK them.”
Good story-telling is definitely the best “in” to a group of girls. If you can make up a good story, like, “Hey, did you see that crazy guy in here who was dancing around in his underwear?”, or “Hey, have any of you ever heard of Celtic soul-gazing?”, then you should be in. You have to be convincing, and a good story-teller, but it’s a great way to open up the group to outsiders. Entertainment=Results.
Setting Up the First Date
Okay, so now you’re alone with your target, the girl you want to talk to. How do you set things up for another date? Joseph Matthews writes that no girl will go out with you on a first date without you first establishing TRUST. As he writes, “the quality of that number isn’t always the best. About 90% of the time, it’s a fake number the girl gave him just to get away from him, and the other 10% of the time, the girl isn’t interested enough to go out with him.”
You have to set a TEMPO in getting the phone number. Don’t rush. It’s important that you come off as cool, relaxed, and confident. Guys who have those qualities are in no hurry to get a phone number because they are CONFIDENT a girl will eventually give them his number.
It all begins with the basics–ABC: Always Be in Control:
* In this case, be in control of yourself by being relaxed, calm, and PATIENT.
* Don’t worry the whole time about getting her phone number; it’ll come if you act like you KNOW it will come.
* Remember to show an open body that suggests you’re relaxed, and confident.
* Keep your hands wide, your feet open.
* ALWAYS look a girl in the eye; if you don’t, you’ve already lost. Steady eye contact conveys confidence and control over the girl.
* Leaning back like you’ve got all the time in the world is also great; it will calm and relax her, too.
Just by doing these things, your girl will see that this is a guy she SHOULD give her phone number to. The ironic thing is, the less you show you care about seeing her again, the more likely SHE’LL care and give you her phone number, or suggest you meet up another time.
As Matthews writes, “Here’s the sequence I usually follow when getting the date:
1. Invite her out right then and there. Either I’ll ask her what she’s doing right now and if she wants to get a drink. If that’s not convenient, I’ll ask her if she wants to meet up later that night.
2. If she says “Yes” to meeting up later, I’ll then ask for her number. If she says “No,” I’ll still ask for her number because I like her and I want to see her again.
3. Finally, I’ll ask her when a good time to call is.
That simple 3-step process will get you a TON of dates.
Setting up the next meeting during the initial interaction is ideal. If you can’t do that, get her number and try to set it up later.”
Practical, wise advice that you can actually use, to get results, not frustration. That’s why I consider him the best pick-up artist out there. Other artists might have fancier techniques, but his actually make sense and work.
There are so many ways to approach girls. Few of them are exactly right and exactly wrong; a lot of it is subjective. Guess that’s why they call it the ART, not the science, of approach.
