I went on a bicycle ride for the first time in forever on a busy trail and realized there is a lot of possible potential to picking up women on a bicycle because you can cover larger distances than simply on foot. But I am not sure how best to do a solid approach when the woman is jogging. My question is simply how to get the woman to stop so you can increase your chances when they are jogging and you are on a bicycle or even jogging?
Normally on the street if they are walking, you could simply wheel in front of them like you see in the Tom Torero videos in what he calls the wheel of fortune stop or the karate side stop. This is great because when done right you can cause them to stop walking and have an undistracted conversation with you. However, this seems a lot harder while they are jogging.
I have seen some people on a bicycle ride alongside the girl (or even jog alongside) and talk to her but the problem with this approach is:
1. She is still running and is somewhat distracted and probably is more uncomfortable for her.
2. Depending on how busy the jogging trail is, you will be forced to move to avoid other joggers or bicyclists which can or will ruin or keep interrupting your set.
Even in the above scenario, you would still be wanting to pull her off to the side at some point to get her number and so on.
So my question is how to pull off an effective stop? Here, are some ideas I was thinking of which ones do you think would work best:
1. Pretend you know who they are. Wheel ahead of her and stop in their path and say something like, Oh hey it's you or I can't believe it is you. You look great and so on. Then, after she hopefully stops, you or her can explain the misunderstanding.
2. Run alongside her and ask her about something she is wearing or carrying while running. Basically this is the usual indirect opener gambit and you quickly ask to see the item for a second and in the process are able to get her to stop.
3. If she is running the opposite direction of you. You could look at her as she passes and then turn around and ride along side her and spit direct nice guy game with something like, you look really nice and I just had to say hello. Can you stop for a second so I can get to meet you?
What ideas do you guys have for this or have used?
