Hi I am from England,UK. I am really new to the board and haven't read anything about picking up women yet in fact I stumble across this by accident trying to find a solution to my problem.. I have this small but big problem.
OK here is the problem(s) I am not attractive looking man(actually I consider myself below average). when I was about 15-16 years old I used to have no trouble walking up to girls and getting their number(and they would actually give it to men, However now that I'm 22 years old I don't do this anymore I stopped doing this after my friends advised me that I was weird and I was using the wrong skills. They told me to wait for them to come to you or have your friend introduce you. Anyway thats another story for another time).
All I used to do is go up to them and say "Hi, I think your quite good looking and would like to ask you out sometime. Give me your digits and I'll give you a call" I really didn't wait to get or give signals I just went to them and got the number (I figured chances are I will never see her again if she rejects me anyway and I will be kicking myself if I let her slip away and she actually did date me so why not get that number and if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't).
I would say 7-8 times out of 10 she would give me the correct number no problem. I call them a day later or maybe two and I have a chat with them no problem, sometimes they will tell me they have a b/f in which case I respectfully tell them I understand and I made a mistake. Here is where the problem is. Its the "follow up" I can't seem to ask them out and actually get them to come. One guy told me to be more commanding and say "I will be in town on ___day so I'd like to take you to _______ which is a resturant I like. Would 8 be OK?". Would this be better?
Here is an example of something that happened last week. I saw this absolute stunning hottie and her friend. (They were both in the 9's and 10's if you want ratings). They were walking towards me and I was walking towards them. I looked at the brunette one and she kept looking at me then looking away(very brief eye contact, I'd say 3 secs per glance). After buying my groceries I came accross them a second time and complimented her and she just walked past. Later I met a friend of mine who is pretty good with the ladies and he said I did it all wring.
What am I doing wrong?Do you really need to wait for signals and body language before you approach her?
I bought a few books today to help me out because I lost "The Game" I used to have I also plan to buy some material from sosuave.com and deaneglo.
If there is anything you guys can do to help me then please do so. I look foward to getting some good replies.
