When you start out at this site, you read about all kinds of techniques and attitudes and you get excited. You start to walk around with a feeling of empowerment. You know a secret, you know how to get women. But cold approaches are still scary, and a ton of fun.

When everyone starts, cold approaches are nerve racking, you sweat, tremble, stumble over your words. How are you supposed to get a girl acting like this? Keep reading and find out.

First of all, you need to accept the fact that your not gonna be great at this in the when you start out. You will screw up. But the payoff is sweet. Trust me, the embarrassments and screwups from your past will be something you look back on with great pride and they make great stories. You will be able to look back and laugh at yourself, and hopefully you will be able to laugh at yourself now.

So now that you have gotten past your fear of embarrassment, lets talk about the attitude you should have. Bottom line your attitude should be that of indifference. Thats as far as I can go and be universally correct. I'm pretty laid back, I joke around and have fun with it. But no matter what style you have, or what your relationship goals are with this girl, indifference is key.

Heres a big one. When I started out, I didn't want the girl to know I was picking up on her when I started talking to her. I think I had mislead myself into thinking that if I let her know I was trying to pick her up, I would show to much interest and loose the edge, or I would somehow offend her by trying to pick her up. This attitude is a bigger problem than the nervousness, and was probably the biggest thing holding me back. Girls like to get hit on, whether they dis you or not, they go home happy because they feel appreciated and sexy.

So when you talk to a girl, don't try and hide the fact that you are attracted to them. They know whats going on, women are not stupid, show them enough respect to be honest. Besides who are you to hide your motive, your a man, men like women, you like her, so don't be ashamed to show it.

Ok, I haven't covered the 3 second rule yet. I never used it when I started out, I wanted to get better at this cold approach thing and I knew I had to get out and practice to do it so there was no need to for me to trick myself into moving in. Ask yourself why you want to talk to her, when you find your answer be it: practice, to dance, to talk, to get a number, whatever it is when you have your answer, there should be nothing to stop you from moving in. And remind yourself this is gonna be fun. This procedure takes place in your mind much faster than 3 seconds. After you have been doing this for a while you won't think, if you see a girl you wanna talk to, you will just instictively go talk to her.

How do I open and what do I talk about once I do open her? As far as opening her goes, I usually just go with "how ya doin?", "hey", or "hi". But if I'm in a good mood, I'll use "Heeeeeey" jokingly, have fun with it. As far what to talk about, thats a tough one, I would know what to tell you, because I don't really remember what I talk about. Thats a good thing, you don't wanna walk in with a plan of what to say, just let the conversation flow naturally. This was tough for me, but after screwing up enough all the sudden I could how a convo with anyone for however long I wanted, key point though, I didn't learn how to hold a convo from reading an article, I learned how by having conversations. A few tips, while you are talking to her, ask her about herself, ask her if shes into what your ideal women is into. Allow her to show you who she is. The attitude you should have should be "Am I interested in her?"

Ok, heres something that will really let the girl know that you are interested in her: Eyecontact. This is even more important than kino. This is where you will be able to let her know that you are interested, you could be talking about anything eyecontact sets the mood. When you start talking to her generally you want to have an "I'm interested, I'm listening" look in your eyes, this will build comfort and rapport. Later on in the convo once you've build some trust and rapport, and you have allowed her to prove she's worth your time, start to look at her with "You know what I wanna do" eyes. You aren't trying to hide your interest remember, you are confident in your sexuality, and you go after what you want.

Alright, on to Kino! Kino for those that don't know is a fancy way to say touching someone. Kino was awkward for me at first, but I kept at it and it has become natural. I'm not gonna try and teach you kino through a post, it can't be done. The only way to learn is to do it until its natural. One tip I can give though is not to pay attention to what your hands are doing, just let them do their thing.

Okay, so you've approached her, your talking to her, good eye contact, kino, she seems interesting or at least eager to fvck, how do you close?

Depends on your goal and situation. If you wanna get her number, then get it, it doesn't matter how you ask at this point, by now she wants to give it to you so you don't have to demand it, but don't be shy about asking for it either, if you can handle intense eye contact I'm pretty sure your not gonna have trouble getting a number. If you wanna nail her that night, day, instant, take her hand and tell her to come with you, tell her where your taking her and if nessecary convince her to come with you.

Well there you have it. After reading all that I hope your more educated on cold approaches. But I guarantee your not gonna get good at them by reading this or any other post. Armed with this info and driven by your goal of getting better at approaching, you are well on you way, now get out there and have some fun with it.

Great post. Just what I needed to hear. And you're right, actually doing the approaches is the best practice in the world. I can't wait to go out & do some more. :D

Whooooaa... excellent post man, I'm glad I read it. More people should read this because far too little Cold Approaches happen in the seduction communtity...

The part about showing interest makes sense. Lately I've been trying to act disinterested and play hard to get when I'm probably just playing "hard to understand" and gurls give up after a while. Gurls like to feel pretty and all that so I gotta portray that without supplicating.

I never found those structurized mecanhical-esque posts by Pimpologist helpful, it just made me nervous trying to remember everything when walking up to a gurl. It may work for some but it don't work for me...

Nice post once again, it's a shame no one seems to want to read it

Thanks for the feedback guys.

If anything I want this post to excite/educate/amp guys enough to go out and do it. If anything gonna make it happen, its action and experience, not knowing. When you learn on your own you gain knowledge, it different knowing something and having knowledge of the subject.

Also, I just want to stress the fact that this should be taken with a sense of humor, don't take yourself too seriously, this frame of mind will make it fun and help your attitude, thus boost your results.

If anyone has anything to add, anything I missed or any disagreements, please discuss.

What do you mean by "cold approach"? It's one thing to do a situational opener to a stranger, but don't you think it's odd to say "hi" to someone you've never met assuming its not a social atmosphere?

^^not really. Today i pulled some observational sh1t on a asian hb7.5 while she was having lunch.

I proceeded to have a seat and chat with her for 20 min, walked back with her to her job (this was at the mall) exchanged numbers and left.

On my way out there was a girl standing by the door, a UG but i looked at her, she looked at me and i said Hi to her, she replied back with a Hi and a smile. I continued on to the parking lot where i bludgeoned a steve martin look alike in the head with a bag full of coins.

Would you consider walking up to a women in a bar/club a cold approach?

No, its not odd at all. It may feel odd if your not used to being friendly with people though. I worked a retail job a few years ago, where they insisted you say hi or hello to every customer you walk by. I didn't have much of a problem with this and its been a habit ever since, I'm just friendly with people.

The opener and language you use when you meet a girl is not nearly as important as the eye contact and body language. If you are enjoying yourself and thinking about whether or not she is gonna be worth your time later on in your head, your body language will take care of itself. It may take time and practice to get really comfortable, but the end result is worth it. And as I said before, whats embarrassing now, you will look back on and laugh.

As far as what I consider a cold approach...Well I don't really see where the confusion is, there is no need to have a technique, a situational opener or line to qualify approaching and meeting someone you don't know as a cold approach.

Yeah, the showing interest part of the post is probably the most important part if only because there is little in the DJ Bible about it. I see tons of newbies rehashing what they read in the Bible which is fine, I did it when I was a newbie, but there is nothing in the bible about showing interest, and too much about being aloof.

Maybe because newbies are used to showing too much interest and they need a culture shock, perhaps showing interest is something best learned on your own, through your own mistakes.

good tip, especially about being afraid to show interest. I always tried to conceal my real intent when approaching but I won't anymore.

TD has discussed at length on mASF why "Hi" is poor opener. Do a search for it if you're interested in learning why.
