If you see a girl siting alone and on her own and she's not smiling why not start out with something like "Smile, life's not that bad." I've yet to find a female of any age that won't at least smile at you. The Key to this approach is that you MUST look and seem friendly which often times means you're smiling your ass off and looking high in energy. This method can be used on just about any woman that is by herself completely or even one that you just happen to catch away from the group. Half the time girls will give you info on what is going on just as an explanation as to why they aren't smiling and as "happy" as you are at the time. After delivering this line you have already put yourself on the offensive and taken control of the conversation because you can just keep telling her to smile and keep telling her that her reason isnt good enough not to smile.
(DO NOT DO THIS IF THE REASON SHE ISN'T SMILING IS SERIOUS LIKE DEATH OR ILLNESS, ETC. AT THAT POINT YOU NEED TO ACT AS SURPRISED AS POSSIBLE AND PLAY YOURSELF DOWN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE FOUND THAT BUYING THEM A DRINK OR JUST GIVING ANY NICE GESTURE AS AN APOLOGY PUTS YOU BACK IN THE GAME PRETTY WELL)
Once you have her smiling and giving ioi's then you just need to not fark it up. Making a girl happy or getting her to think she is happy is crazy effective. |
I've tried this once and it did backfire but I was able to keep it going and she was very polite about it. Didn't ask for her number cause I felt it would seem like I was trying to pick her up while she was at her lowest. Though she did ask for mine right before I left.
It was a while back but it was something along the lines of.
Me: Hey, life is too short to frown. Nothing is better than a smile.
Her:Sorry but kinda tough to smile right now.
Me: There is not one situation in the world that can stop me from smiling.
Her:My best friend passed away yesterday.
(at this point I tried to show a more sympathy in my look to her and then quickly moved on)
Me: I'm sure she'd want you to be smiling now. Your friend is in a better place, so should your mind.
Her:Thanks, that's sweet of you.
Me: Anytime! Don't let it get you down too much.
(I then picked up my iPad and continued to read - less than 5 minutes later she asked if she could sit down with me and just vent a few things)
The conversation went on and we spent maybe a minute talking about how she felt bad and I kept telling her the best thing is to move on and remember how great her friend was.
I was able to switch over to talking about Ferraris (she had a Ferrari cover on her phone so I thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss with her).
At the end, I was friendly, didn't put too much effort into flirting or whatever. I just kept myself level headed and was myself. I excused myself and told her I had to run. She asked me if I could just stay a bit longer cause I was making her feel better. I told her something stupid like "I'm off to save the world, it's not easy being spiderman". She smiled and then asked me for my number. Gave it to her and said something stupid again like "if I dont' answer, don't feel bad - I'm probably slinging around some buildings catching some fresh air".
Morale of the story: I think you could open up with anything as long as you are observant and able to keep your cool. Even in times of tragedy, you can get a number without playing any games. Just be yourself and if she doesn't like it - keep your cool and just move on. Plenty of fishies in the sea my friends.
EDIT: By no means am I saying, try and pick up a girl who's in a tragic situation. But my point is, they're human and have feelings. Don't go on and try to get the number, chances are she'll figure out a reason that is good enough to talk to you or see you again if you really shine your OWN personality at her. Took me a while to realize this and I've never turned back.
