Welcome to the game ElStud 8)
Some of that was painful to read...lol I admire ur courage for just getting out there and doing it. Thats the best mindset to have here, just focusing on getting the skill.
Your approaches are average. There are a lot of Hi, how are you? questions, which are boring. These are low risk. If you're starting out, thats fine!
If you want to walk away with a number you need to push up the tempo...
Here's an approach i did the other night, give you some ideas: The rest of my approaches, I can't remember as i did so many and was drinking far too much.
At the bar, see a nice looking girl to my left (*I blow my nose in front of her*) NO! Not on her! but near her...
So I open:
Me "You look like you're up to no good!"
Her "what! what do you mean?"
me "Well i saw you checking me out and if i didn't confront you, you'd probably stalk me on the way home or somethin"
her " Like i would even be seen with a guy like you!"
me "Oh my god.. arn't you charming!"
her " (hits me on the arm) shutup"
Then i asked her opinion on (which is the superior gender) but she seemed interested... her friend joined us I was on the mens side, she was on the females side, so we argued back and forth...
Her friend came along...
me: "Arn't you going to introduce me to ur friend, thats a polite thing to do"
(I get introduced) (**** knows if i remember her name, the music was loud)
me: "so how do you guys know each other?!"
(then they both talked at the same time)
me: "Look one at a time please"
me: "right i wana do a little game with you, both of you have to pick 2 girls which you think are the hottest in this bar, I'll guess too, and if your guess matches mine, I'll buy you a drink. If you don't you have to buy me a drink"
(You'll be supprised how many times girls will fall for this game).
Then some other guy came over who thought he could try and cut in on my game, his name is Sam who is a ****. So i reply
"This guy has spent 4 hours on his hair... you don't want to know him"
They laughed...(he left)
Then all 3 of us ended up dancing, and I got drunk with my mates and lost them both. nevermind.
you'll be supprised how much material they will give you when you get into a good conversation.
