Being an average guy myself, I can count on one hand the number of times in my entire life similar situations listed above have even gained the attention of a woman, let alone a phone number.
Well, I am no hunk nor a hottie .. hell , I'm an average minority, but that doesnt stop me from trying.

Learn to observe your surroundings.. time, location, setting that was my point is of the above post

This thread is not about my personal experiences but rather a heads up/pointer. I Dont want to sidetrack the purpose of this thread .. let's keep some personal questions by PMS. Thanks

You must have dated dozens of women, according to what your posts imply.

Therefore, I don't know how personal a question it is to ask how many dates you had with one girl you brought up as an example of how your game works. What could anybody possibly do with that information to use it against you or anyone else ?

But fine, don't want to answer that, that's fine. Maybe off topic. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

But it is certainly highly on-topic to ask how it went from her introducing herself to you to you going on dates.

I've had women introduce themselves to me. But they weren't interested in dating.

So how do you get from a woman introducing herself to you in response to you being quiet and respectful when some other jackass won't take "no" for an answer .... to you going on a date with her.

How does that work ?

And I certainly don't believe your claim that you are only average looking if you have the "hot woman everybody was drooling over" approach you and give you her number out of the blue. As Judge Judy says, "If it doesn't make sense, it probably isn't true" .

How so ? If I followed your story correctly, your knowledge of where you were, what time it was, and "the setting" had nothing to do with these two women introducing themselves to you. You could have thought you were at Buckingham Palace in 1953 for all they knew when they approached you with you "doing nothing" being the secret to their approaching you.

So you got her name and luckily her number. What now ?

If you want to call, call.

Now, here's where we add a little disclaimer.

If you want to call, call. ONCE. Only ONCE. The phone is a wonderful creation. It has buttons on it. They correspond with numbers. If you press a certain combination, it rings at somebody's house. Everyone knows how to use one, including the object of your desire. Let her call you back. Unless, of course, you are calling someone who has no fingers, no toes, and no teeth with which to hold a pencil to tap in the numbers, I have two questions: A) What the hell kinda freaky stuff are you into? and B) Is she also your sister?

This kinda touches on the availability issue as well. Don't be TOO available. Don't sit at home waiting for a call that might never come. If she says, "Hey, I'll call you tomorrow night", that doesn't mean you sit at home waiting. If you don't have an answering machine, go get one. If you have a cell phone, don't constantly check it to see if you missed her call. In fact, don't give her a cell phone number. Give her your home number only. Don't have a home phone? Get one. Those cell phone minutes are valuable, and think of that cell phone as your new leash, pal.

At the same time, don't be TOO unavailable either, because she'll lose interest. What you want to do is pretty simple: Keep doing whatever it is that you would be doing if she wasn't in the picture. Because, let's be honest, if she's not in the picture yet. If she was, we wouldn't need this thread, would we?

I have her name and hopefully a number because I either
A) did nothing
or
B) asked her to pass the pickles

Wait a minute. How does that work again ?

Cell phone minutes are not valuable anymore (data transfer is what matters these days) and hardly anybody uses home phones, so your material is dated at best.

Secondly, you seem to have a very negative opinion of women, since you called her ability to call you on a cell phone her "leash". I think, if I understand the term correctly, this kind of puts you in the "Pick Up Artist" camp, even according to what's been said by some of your previous defenders in this thread.

I have a better idea. If you've got her number call her, leave a message and tell her your cell phone number in the message, and then carry your cell phone while you go about your daily life and answer the phone when she calls if you're not busy. Treat her like a human being who might be a friend to you, or maybe something more. Don't act like she's a "slave driver". Oh, and there's this thing called texting too.

Sheesh. PUA nonsense.

Shouldn't have called it pua nonsense because I don't know what pua is.

But it doesn't make any sense to me.

But I'll quit posting on this thread because you just want it to be a monologue. I didn't notice that in the original post the first time I read it.
