Picking up girls in bookstores

[SW15]

Maybe instead comment on something she is wearing?

situational is basically the only thing i ever do.

I do mostly situational openers but have been doing daygame for ~10 years as I read Roosh's "Day Bang" soon after it came out in 2011. "Day Bang" was the foundation for all my approaches. Bookstores were covered less in "Day Bang" than coffee shops, but many bookstores have coffee shops in them.

I like to open based on something that someone is wearing. I've done that in bookstores and in other non-bar venues.

What I like to open with is, "If you were my sister and it was your birthday, what kind of book would you like me, your brother, to get you?"

This line intrigues me, but I don't want to frame an interaction around brother-sister dynamic. I need her to see me as a sexual being immediately.

you'd be surprised at how social an environment a book store is. It's not at all like any other day time environment.

i've tried several approaches at book stores (borders, barnes and nobles).... none of them worked out.

check out the body language of most of the chicks there... they are NOT looking to meet anyone. they hardly look up. especially at the cafe section.

it's not really the bytch shield either. they've just got blinders on, they're not there to meet anyone.

I lumped these two quotes together because they oppose each other. Yes, a lot of women at bookstores seem like they have blinders on. A good portion of these women likely have boyfriends or husbands already. The regional chain bookstore location I've been to is in a neighborhood that is mainly unmarried people, so it'd be more boyfriends than husbands. I wonder if unattached women in bookstores have blinders on.

Been approaching in Barnes and Noble, I have had some decent experiences but overall quite disappointing. The quality and quantity of approaches has depended on the city I am in.

You are 26, so I assume you've been targeting younger women in bookstores. I didn't start non-bar approaching until I was nearly 30. Most of my non-bar approaching has occurred in my 30s, and targeting women 25-35. I've not seen a lot of attractive 25-35 year old women in bookstores when I've tried bookstore approaching. That's why the incident this past weekend stood out for me. I didn't bookstore approach for years simply because I saw few to no viable approaches in them.

last week I stopped in a bookstore. As I was walking through an aisle, a girl stopped me and complimented me on my jacket (got it at Macys). We chatted a few min, & then I moved on. I have a GF, but if I were single, I’d have probably tried to see if she’d go next door for coffee.

BTW on a sidenote, I have been grocery shop approaching at Kroger's whole foods and Trader Joe's in the Nashville area after work while doing groceries, for two weeks. So far no leads, with all the cameras in shops did you ever feel like you're being watched therefore messing up your game?

I've done more grocery store approaching over the years than bookstore approaching and I never once felt that way about approaching in grocery stores.

Random thought will be to make or buy a bookmark and write your name number and hand it to the girl you fancy
