I was at the train station the other day and said hi to a dude that walked by just to be friendly. He put his hand out and introduced himself and started showing a lot of interest haha, he ended up being gay but he was cool, I told him I wasn't. I usually try and talk with people because that way if I see a hot girl its easier to open.

Anyways on Sunday there's this cute girl that I'm casually trying to talk to while waiting for the train but she's buried in her phone and giving short responses.... and the gay dude shows up! I start chatting with him and bring her in the conversation and by the end of it I get her number and tonight I'm about to go for drinks with her.

Just wanted to share and give a funny example of how being social helps! I think it disarmed her cause she just realized I was a social person that likes to talk to strangers.

Nice one man. I like to think that every person you talk to helps you improve that little bit and just like when you do an approach, there's nothing to lose.

How did you go from a day game approach on Sunday to a date on Thursday night? Interested in your follow-up text/phone game. This is where most guys lose the girl as a lot of these numbers result in flakes.

IMO the impression made at the approach matters a lot more in securing the date tha the text/phone interaction in the interim.

I'm no authority, but I feel like that if I don't hook really well in person, no text/phone tricks will ever make up for it.

Playing devil's advocate here...

1) How much of an impression can be made in 5-10 minutes - the typical day game interaction?

2) There are girls that are attracted and hook well but won't meet with you alone because they're not comfortable enough - you're a stranger/potential rapist. What then?

Hows this for a though

You talk to her for ten minutes then see if she smokes. Find a place to sit and talk for another ten minutes. Its like an instant date. Something to try out atleast.

Haha. This reminds me when I was back in college and would use my gay friend (who was extremely popular and social) as a prop to meet girls. Use every tool in your arsenal.
