OK..... i think i understand what you're saying, this is a topic, that im sure everybody would agree, is huge and perhaps the most important part of gaming women, i.e. sparking that initial interest that will hopefully lead to more..... I think its important to note that everyone is going to have different techniques/strategies, not to mention experiences on the subject and you shouldn't get bogged down with just one way of thinking, but learn how to adapt "yourself" using the examples as models that will be posted by all our comrades on this forum.
In my opinion, "sparking the inital interest" through use of good rapport is about forming a relationship through the use of "charm". "Charm" - the ability to convey feelings of delight and "well being" to your intended recipient. When i say "relationship" i mean how one person relates to each other, the process in which a common ground of understanding are created through mutual respect of idealism (purpose in life, be it short term or long term). So when chatting to a girl, for example, "views" are being discussed, as im trying to "pull" her, im going to be as "charmful" as i possibly can, making her enjoy the experience of talking to me. Essentially i make her feel happy,(has a girl ever said "i could talk to you forever" or "i feel like i've known you forever"?) So therefore being charmful means being funny, letting her know that you're a "normal" person, establishing mutual respect about ideologies/feelings therefore developing "percieved" mutual respect on her part (remember you're trying to get her into bed).
The goal of this is to establish "roles" or percieved "roles", from her point of view. She will evaluate whether you're "good" for her, how you're "roles" will compliment each other i.e. whether your dateable/friend/husband material.
Anyway sorry about the length of this and the rather intangible nature of this response (hopefully it makes sense, but i wanted to explain my thought process of establishing "rapport" and how it works.
Please everyone, feel free to flame,i would also like a response.
Anyway, Yuppaz, i hope this helps,
Best wishes,
