Simple

"Hi, my name is *****. What is yours?"


I can't imagine too much happening in 5 seconds.

Give a confused look to my friends then turn around and go over to her...

"hey, do you know where this bus is heading?"

her: "uhh yea its heading towards ____"

"oh good you can show us how to get there"

her: no response, she'll be thrown back.

"hey guys shes..." "you are?"

her : "i'm X"

"oh ok, X is gonna show us how to get there" (now back to her) "So X, I'm dDrIx" (I'll do my pattened handshake and smile where i pretend to be very "official"

her: she will probably smile and say nothing...

"Well, where are YOU headed?"

her: "uhh i'm going to ____"

...and the convo continues as we wait for/get on the bus...

Seems that alot of DJs use the INDIRECT approach. The only likely issue is that she already knows your agenda. So, why mask your intentions?

I'd do a direct approach.
Slowly & confidently walk over.
Put hands on her shoulder and turn her to face me. (if her back is facing me)

Make deep EC, pause, with a slight smile
I'll say this SLOWLY AND DELIBERATELY: YOU LOOK (pause for the dramatic effects) ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! (slight smile), lets get to know each other better.

The mindset behind that line is not supplicating as many may think. It's a qualifier b/c I am communicating to her that I have chosen her.

The most important aspect of an approach isn't the line. It's how you deliver it with your confidence, BL, voice tone, sincerity & honesty, because they instantly create an emotional impact on her not some excuse to pick her up.

Stand next to her and say "Man, I can't wait until my new BMW X-5 gets delivered from the dealership and I never have to wait for this bus again..."

When she asks when that's happening, say "Oh, any year now...."

 

[h2o]

me: "hey"
her: (probably some greeting, ie, hi/hey)

smiling at each other, eyecontact, then...

me: so...where are you headed to? (assuming she's waiting for the bus)

i'm usually very slow on most of my approaches...so i probably wouldn't even get to the question...probably just the greeting

...edit: i went back and read some of the posts before mine...how could you say all of that in only 5 seconds? what's the rush?

 

[quest]

pretty silly thread.

but i'd walk up to her and say

"have you seen my dog, bonnie?"
"no, whats she look like?"
"she's only got 3 legs, and she's a black medium sized dog, and she's blind"
"oh! and you lost her?"
"yeah, i don't drive so me and my friends are getting on the bus. you should come to, we need all the help we can get. whats your name?"
"julie"
"ok julie jump on the bus with us."

-------
2 min later
now on the bus
-------

"julie, you're on the bang bus, we'll give you $15 to show us your p*ssy"
....
....
et cetera.

The Next question...

Sorry, it seems that some have understood... I just wanted to test to see if people actually had something prepared that they could say to a woman in a random scenario. You can't really plan a conversation too much longer than the 5 seconds, but it's usually within that timeframe that you are going to have to make a first impression and to have the girl comfortably continue the conversation with you.

There were quite a few interesting answers, some I could tell have likely never been used, some that the right person could pull off, and some people that didn't take it seriously...

The next question really is, of those who answered, how many of you use what you said regularily (adapting it to situations), or just put anything in writing because they really don't have anything planned to say??

Crotchsniffer - I was assuming one singular woman. The logistics were meant to be as the person would feel best to approach for all that I cared. You got it though, if you can make it past the first 5 seconds and be able to continue the conversation than you're good to go. You most often get shot down within this 5 seconds as well... with exception of course.

joe dirt - Does it really matter if you fail? This shyt is a contact sport, people get hurt one way or the other... The fact of the matter is if you open the girl and keep even a short conversation going you could easily get her number. Whether it's a real number is a different story.

I like this one... the direct approach is good if you do it congruently. after the opener I usually start getting more and more direct. Do you use this often?

if i lost a 3 legged dog named bonnie, i might use the start of mine.

if i had a bus, i might use the end of mine
