I live in high rise building. I am new to the building. The building has a few airbnbs that brings in girls regularly. Gym on the top floor, parking lot in the basement. Access to rooftop (with pool) from 7 am to 7 pm.

In-person approach 1: I was coming back from the gym in the building, top most floor. I wait for the elevator. Cute mid-20 something girl steps out. Then gets back in fast. Smiling and mentioned "Wrong floor". But she did not press the button for her floor.

I laughed and asked, where did you get on from?

She said, 'X city'.

I laughed hard and explained my question. She laughed and told 5th. My floor came up and got off the elevator.

In-person 2: Again in the elevator. I was bring something up to my apartment from the my car in parking lot (basement of the building). I was wearing a olive green bomber jacket. There was already a girl in the elevator. She was wearing a green trench coat. I pressed button to my floor. She was again mid 20's. Cute overall, but bordering anorexic, I would say.

She was completely checking me out, after she looked at me a couple of times. I asked "Are we twinning?" pointing at our jackets. She let out a nervous laugh and mentioned "My floor" and got out giving me the side eye. My floor was further up. I just waved.

Did not see both these girls again in the building. probably were airbnb guests or just never crossed paths yet. Saw other girls too in the elevator, but there were others in the elevator. So did not approach them.

I want to improve approaches in elevator. What do I do? Do I ride with them till their floor? If we reach their floor first, do I get down and continue?

Do sharer your thoughts and experiences.

They call it elevator pitch for a reason in sales.

Word of choice is very important in the initial interaction. You could have rephrased ‘are we twinning’ with something like ‘looks like we have the same plan’

This leaves the door open for further conversation, leaves you room to talk about this ‘plan’

Don’t ask questions that lead to nothing more than an answer.

You are literally trying to make vintage wine in a prison cell approaching women in the elevator. Other than what you are doing, there’s noting else you can do. Is this your only approach avenue?
