4. Forget all pickup-lines you’ve ever heard

Trust me, they won’t work. You don’t need them.

The truth is, what you say only matters less than 6%. You communicate the rest through other ways. Like the tone of your voice and mainly through your body language.

“The truth is, what you say only matters less than 6%”

Maintain strong eye-contact during the approach, watch your body language, put on your biggest smile and just say “hi”.

Later on, when you have more experience, you can do more sophisticated approaches. I’ll cover this another time.

5. Have a story prepared

Let the conversation flow naturally. Talk to the girl like you talk to your best friend. The more natural you are, the better. Don’t compliment her to much, again, be playful and cocky. Speak slowly and keep your voice tone low.

What happens now to newbies very often is that they’re having trouble to maintain the conversation. They get stuck, since they can not remember any topic to speak about. Or they ask too many questions, which is also not helpful to get the conversation going.

It helps to have some kind of a story prepared. If nothing interesting ever happened to you, you can make one up. Tell how your best friend almost died on your last mountain hiking tour, or how you saved your cat from being washed in the washing machine.

It really doesn’t matter what the story is about. What matters is how you are telling it. It has to be told in an interesting and dramatic way. She has to be sucked into that story, watching your lips, couldn’t await how it ends.

Can you do that? I bet you can. If not, practice!

From now on you have several options. You can ask for her number/e-mail, change the location with her, or simply move on. The point is to collect as much experience as you can with approaching women. You must get comfortable with it. If you really are, then there is nothing that can hold you back any more.

The world is yours.
