Nice thread
I mainly do Day game because I'm not old enough to go to clubs or bars yet, but I never really found that the sets that I approach were annoyed or disturbed. Only time you will probably notice it is if its people rushing for work, which is early in the morning this is why I usually approach on trains and the bus in the morning. But after that its rare you catch anyone really rushing to a place, most of the time there just shopping or doing something adn can spare some time.
One thing that I think makes it seem harder is that in society its not socially correct to be gaming a girl on the streets, this is why you always see way more people trying to approach in clubs and bars because thats like the main reason for clubs and bars, every guy who associate clubs and bars are thinking, FUN, Drink, Good times, and women. In the book store people aren't thinking of approaching a guy or a girl.
Most of what Shezz said you should follow even though I haven't really done much natrual game as I started to get into it that way I at least have some direct game and test it out since Direct is supposedly suppose to be better at approaching in the day and when approaching lone wolves.
My Day Game
I use the same structure everywhere I go just switch it up abit, its basically TDs structure.
But I usually just think this:
Open
Attract (Disarm the obstacles and/or have your wingman do it)
Rapport
Isolation (Close)
Its hard to explain on text but your body language has to be good to make the set stop. Its like your walking and your approaching from the side with just your face turned to her, and like you almost want to look like you did a slow double take as if you notice a old time friend.
Now usually you would want to use your attract material whatever it may be, but if you just want a universal things that you can come up with on the fly that I always tend to use are...
Cold Reading
****y and funny
Storytelling
Kino (Not really for attraction but just to get her used to your touch from the get go you don't want to weird her out later one when you start touching)
Screening
Note - Assume it is always on with you and her even if your wrong you will still learn from this, and always keep in mind of Push/Pull dynamic
(If she is already attracted before you even approach, then you don't even have to bother with any Attraction, maybe just do abit of storytelling)
This right here is probably the most important, because before I never used to do this and I would get flake after flake. Get Some Rapport the more the better, don't close unless you have at least some rapport. If time permits maybe you can instadate, if you can't get any further or no isolation, just #close between a good conversation, and then leave something that makes her want to meet you again. (This was another reason why I would get flakes)
For example, you were talking about foods you both liked, then add "Yep I love Ribs, there is this nice restuarant over by xyz, me and my friends go there a whole lot."
Your adding hints to stuff she can be apart of so she will more likely to want to speak again, maybe she wants to go see the good ribs your talking about.
One last thing that I like to do is play "Games" or make them up, I mean if she is attracted you can make up the lamest game and turn it into fun, its always good to cheat sometimes to, to add some sexual tension without that sexual tension there really isn't much going on between you 2.
A good example of a lame game that I did was I found a yugioh card and I pulled a table between us and put it down on the table. We had to see who can grab it first, and then once in awhile I start over and then cheat, then start adding challenges, she got real into it.
Another important thing "Try not to rush everything, unless your in a rush" (Maybe your stop is coming up soon or something like that, then its always good to just go for the #close regardless.
------------------
If your having problems approaching, just warmup... Without thinking open the first set that you see, don't think about what to say or anything, and just talk. Because now your stuck you can't back out because you said something to her so you now need to proceed. After that 1 or 2 approach your going to have no problem. You don't really need confidence to start your first approach, because you could be all hyped up but when your actually in that mall or on that street you are seeing the girls and like your confidence just died. Kind of like in war your in a 5 man group and hyped up by your commander that you guys are so close to ending the way and then just see 300 men circle you.
So once you see them just open don't think about it and don't be in the set and thinking in your head. "Is she liking me" "was that awkward" "Did i touch her properly" "What should I do now I ran my opener" You don't want to be doing that.
In the end you will have a good time...and if you want even more help for a week don't drive to work take public transportation and try to talk to strangers all the way to work and all the way home, this will help out a whole lot.
