I was approaching this girl I see regularly (she works at a place I order food) and I asked her "hey, are you done working?" She said 'yes' (uninterested tone) while quickly walking away. Did I do something wrong?

[Dash Global]

No.

She just isnt interested in you.

It happens

LOL!
I think that happens to anyone who attempts to talk to bitches...shake it off and move on (is her problem she decides to miss out on talking to a great guy)...I see game like baseball...you swing and you swing until you hit it out of the park!

[satanova77]

Bro she was polite...you havent seen shit till you walk up to a chick at club or bar with full eye contact and as you open your mouth she puts a hand in your face and turns away.....

I love it and get pumped for next approach....my buddy does it differently...he just stands and stares....shaking his head......

I hope this is not the first thing you said to her!? This is to direct and aggressive if you are talking to a stranger. You have to build up some comfort before you say stuff like this.

Chit-chat with her a little before you ask her out. Ask her how work is going and stuff like that.

You probably should have been more subtle with your flirting. Girls like to be seduced in a smooth way. This is a little crude for most girls. If I were you, I would be more indirect, at least until you get her laughing and asking you personal questions, etc.

You gotta go in smoother.

You: "So I bet you get asked out a lot when you're on the job here, yes?"

Now, she can say a number of things in response. "Yes, but they are a bunch of jerks mostly"....or "Yes, but I don't go out with customers".

You can come back with something like, "There's always the exception that proves the rule."

Or if she says no, you say something like, "Wow, it looks like most guys who come in here are blind." (It's a combination compliment and establishing your higher status).

Then, you let things progress normally, until you finish up and say to her, "Seriously, I'd love to buy you some coffee some afternoon. Or we could do drinks. now." In this case, I'd give her an alternative. She finishing up work. She's probably tired and doesn't feel very feminine. But maybe she might go for it.

You have to read situations and be clever.

This result or 10 seconds of conversation are what happens in 50% of all walkups for the average gamer. And 95% of the time when you are being snubbed this is the WORST that will happen ie NOTHING. So there's nothing to be afraid of, just keep at it.

This is great advice. Particularly "You have to build up some comfort before you say stuff like this."

Always remember "The Six Elements of Picking Up Girls" http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2006/06/six...girls.html

What you did was throw an off-balanced, ill-timed haymaker from to far away and missed. And it caused you to fall.

Use the jab. Set up your opponent. Get some rhythm going. Then try to land a significant shot.

Not to get too deep, but I bet you are giving off negative energy as well.

The title, "When whores just ignore you" is a tip off.

Don't take this stuff so seriously.

If it is not fun, you are in the wrong business.

Well I wasn't actually trying to flirt, but I was just being 'friendly' with her as I know her from a place I order food.

So, you only know her because you order food from her? How much conversation have you had with her?

"hey, are you done working" is just a litle too direct and personal. If you just want to be friendly, say stuff like....

"hey whats up"
"hey how are you"
"hey hows work going"
"what do you recommend"
"how are you today"


I would have said..."I bet you are ready to get the out of here"

That's real talk. If I had to sum up my game philosophy in the most elemental form, this would be it. I say this all the time. You have to enjoy what you're doing.

If a bitch punched me in the mouth, I'd turn her around and slap her in the face, I'd only not punch her back because it'd probably kill her

Great post, especially the boxing analogy. Makes you realize that you are fighting the girl for the K.O (the bang) and you have to be precise and use the right combo of moves in your arsenal.

Settle down killer.

Sounds like you need a hug.

I'm clearly in the wrong business.

Sounds like she would have walked away even if he came at her with a different line. She could have been having a shitty day. Never know.

While 10 seconds isn't a long time to "build comfort" I've found that asking questions that don't have a yes or no or one word answer yields better results.

I cringe everytime someone who doesnt has a vagina calls a woman a whore, or bitch.

She didnt talk to you? Oh, she must be a whore.

Really smooth, boss.

One needs to do a lot of shadow boxing to have some skills when you want to train in a safe environment.

Could one train his gaming skills with rapping, acting, writing?

Simmer down man, 1st they are all whores, 2nd they are all whores. There's no need to be condescending just because you don't like a word he used when he isn't addressing you directly. You don't have something constructive to offer, then just take it easy. We're here to help each other, not do the equivalent of what that girl just did.
