1 minute "number closes": hit rate?

[lux7]

I was wondering: what do you think, is the hit rate for 1 or 2 minutes interactions taking the girl's contact -with and without having a longer phone conversation later on (I suck on the phone)- really that low?


I'm in those kind of situations most of the times.
Partially also because honestly very interesting people you vibe with are a minority and I like wondering around by myself so I'd always prefer having short interactions and then eventually meet her later on.

Anyone.. ?
What are your experiences/thoughts with "quickies"?

What do you mean by a hit?

Is it getting the number in 1 minute? To be honest it's not that hard. A number is easy to get.
At night-time the hit-rate is probably easier. Some girls will say it's a bit weird.

I think coming in higher energy or standing out quickly in some way helps. If you're too low-key you need a little time to build up to being memorable.

If by a hit you mean actually turning it into something. It's 50/50. A quick number is easy to get but will end in a lot of flakes. The key is to be memorable so she'll want to know who you are when you're gone. If you're too low key, she probably won't really be too interesting in knowing who this guy texting her is.

That's what I mean, having a day2, a sexual encounter or a solid chance for a day2 out of that number.

50/50 would be very high, I have some doubts that could be the case for 1minutes phone numbers..

I find it hard to put an exact number on it.

I say 50/50 because it's a sort of all or nothing... She will either be left impressed and intrigued as to who you are and want to know more... or she'll just think you were some randomer and not really be too bothered to follow up unless your followup is impressive.

Are you just asking though because it happens you sometimes or is this the game you follow?
Personally I DO like the approach of just going in, quickly talking to her and getting the number if it's not a situation where like in a bar where I can hang around and escalate... but 1 minute is very quick... even 5 minutes would increase your chances much more. At least in a few minutes you can impress her with some fun banter or talk she might remember you.

The key to a quick number is just to be memorable. Guys have different styles as to how to be memorable so I won't go into that now.
But I walk through the city on any given day... I am approached by 10 people looking for money or a cigarette just on my way to work. Probably 5 more looking to sign me up for some charity or something... but occasionally one of them or some street performer comes right up and says something funny or is very animated or stands out somehow... maybe I'll smile and walk on but I'll remember that funny guy later in the day but none of the others.

I'm asking because that's what I like doing, yes.

I like walking around minding my business, even walking with the same person for a long way, unless she's really interesting -and in that case it would be a great pleasure but that's rare!-, I'd feel like I'm tying myself down too much .

I said one minute just to convey the message of "quickness", can even be 2 of course, and even 5 , but the kind of person I am, most of the times I'd rather not spend a whole afternoon with an unknown person .

Well, you only really need ONE good set, as they say.

If you want really consistent solid numbers then 1 minute cold approaches won't do it for you.
You have to either spend more time talking to them or go down a different route. I've kissed girls within minutes of meeting them in clubs and bars but I could talk to a girl on the street for 10 minutes and she still could flake.

I'd say 5-10 minutes of really solid game off a street cold approach would get a high hit rate. I feel 1-2 minutes isn't gonna cut it most of the time.

But I think you've got a pretty bad outlook on it. What exactly do you want to see as results? I mean, if I was a girl and a guy asked my number on the street I'd like it to feel like it was totally spontaneous because he just thought I was special.
Last weekend I say a guy literally running up and down Boyleston St stopping girls... as I went about my business I came across him about 5 times... I couldn't have been the only person the notice. If you are insisting on just getting as much approaches in as possible but rather than less approaches but more QUALITY then you're never going to get much success. You don't need to spend the whole afternoon with anyone... but isn't the point that you look for the one you DO want to spend the evening with and not approach another? If you already have your next girl spotted, why are you even approaching this one?

Good point

I had in mind this situation of the other day that I met this girl and we spent a couple of hours together but.. She was quite dull that I left thinking "damn, having been by myself would have been better" . Yeah of course noone forced me to stay, but you know..

Yeah, let's say the situation I had in mind was going around exploring the city and when I spot someone I'm interested in I'd then I'd stop for a few minutes without inviting to sit, for a beer or anything..

Hmm. I might try the one minute approaching when Im running. My route intersects with a college campus with cute girls.
