Hey guys, did another gym approach, wanted to break it down, went better than the convo from “Dryer than the Sahara desert” but still some things to work on.

Near the end of my workout saw this really cute girl, probably a good few inches taller than me, however, on the opposite side of the gym. I waited for her to use a machine closer to me, and when she was resting, I opened her with complimenting her shoes.

She receives the compliment well, and I start to make some small talk about the shoes, which lead into the schools that we went to, and how old she is.

We traded names and I did the hand

I made her guess my age, which she got right for the most part(my beard is more trimmed down, making me look my age).

I make some insights about her school, gathering she’s more a beach person, which I say “who doesn’t love the beach” to build similarity.

She says she’s not a club girl so I say “I guess you don’t like dancing that much… or probably the drunk guys hitting on you…” to which she laughs and agrees.

She said she likes the bars, so I tell her a bar town near us, but she’s too young to go(19 in America), but I tell her that maybe one of the bars accepts fakes, and she should come out.

We also talk about travel, to which I tell her I spent 4 months in Italy, she says she wants to do something like that, but won’t be able to, I give her some advise on how to, then ask if she’s traveled anywhere in Europe. She said Portugal once for a wedding, to which I replied “must be beautiful.”

I asked her where she would study abroad, she said “Barcelona or Florence” which I used the opportunity to tease her by calling her basic. She laughed, after I agreed that Barcelona in particular is an amazing place.

Sensing I had been there for a while, I told her it was nice to meet you, I said we should get a coffee sometime.

She responded with the classic “I have a boyfriend” which I responded “its just a coffee, no big deal, up to you tho” to try to seem chill. She said no again, so I said no worries, nice to meet you, I’ll see you Iater, to which she agreed.

Some good, some bad, anyone have any other advice on things I could have improved on. I kind of threw the coffee idea out of nowhere, need to come in smoother next time. Also with a girl who’s considerably taller than you, it’s always gonna be more difficult. She was sitting while I was standing, so it didn’t seem as apparent.

This one was just a girl with a boyfriend who was being polite with you. Even if you were smoother it would not change the outcome

this is exactly why i have always in day game, or street approaches after i open is the first question i ask.....

me: those are bad ass shoes

her: oh thank you,

me: yeah i love those the same as the nb blaha blah

her: yes (i am just buying time looking at micro expressions and body language to see if is positive)

me: bet you, your boyfriend likes them too???

her: i don't have a boyfriend

^ if not the case i cont. if not i may give a bf rebuttle (one max) to see how she react to rebbotle of bf objection...

^ if she doubles down i am done...


vs... most guys

pua: blhalbhal

her; blha blah blah

pua: blah blah blahu

her: blah blah blah

^ after 30 minutes "ups i have a boyfriend"


context street game, or day game..... Night game inside club i don't care or follow this approach... i just go by compliance...

You came across as friendly and socially calibrated. I don't see much room for improvement from what you shared.

I haven't been able to convert a "I have a BF" to something successful in day game. It's probably possible though, I've tried so many rebukes, none has worked. I suppose the easiest way is to be a super friendly cool guy and close her on those terms. If you suspect she will give you the "I have a BF" line (I have a spidey sense for this now) instead of "Let's meet for coffee some day," it could be possible to exchange some social media stuff instead to keep each other updated on the travels to Barcelona or whatever. Once you have her details, you can afford to ask her out more directly, and she won't feel like a bad girlfriend for not blocking you lol. I've exchanged FB with a girl in a relationship, pinged her once a year, and the other day I got a response now that they broke up.

"its just a coffee, no big deal, up to you tho"
This could be improved. Feels like you're arguing with her. Whether it's a big deal or not is up to her.

Cool. Seems like it could be effective. I suppose I would be self-conscious about it making it too obvious I'm hitting on her. Seems kind of unnatural for me to suddenly mention her boyfriend right after talking to her - I guess practice makes perfect.

the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Most of the time yes, if this was like that nothing I can do

However girls say this sometime even if they don’t have a bf, idk how often each occurrence is

Hmm interesting, bringing up the bf early, will try that next time.

Question, if she says yes to having a bf, what kinds of bf rebuttals would you give?

Also yes, I agree this makes sense for day game or night street game, not inside a nighttime venue, nobody rlly gives af there.

Thanks brother, in terms of social calibration and general social IQ, yea Idt much can be improved. I’m talking about in the context of getting girls invested to go on dates with you. In this case she had a bf(assuming she is telling the truth) so nothing could be done there.

Fair enough, Idt I can exactly predict if she’s going to give me the “I have a bf line.” I can still grab her socials if I see her next time, only if we have a convo and it goes well, I can try this.

I felt like I said it in a chill, nonchalant way, didn’t feel like arguing, more like persistence, as she kept denying, I gave up, didn’t want to overpersist.
