At the mall

[ThrowDown]

During a day of shopping I came across a beautiful Asian girl walking down the hallway opposite of me, she walked past, I stopped and swivelled and proceeded to approach her. She walked pretty fast, and I of course walked slow and confidently (didn't want to start to chase) and she entered a store. Once this happened, my subconscious felt as if I followed her into the store, I would be a stalker. So I dropped it and returned back to where I was.

What would be an effective tactic in this sense? I'm sure indirect. Any takers?

You need to get her attention before she enters the store. It's ok if you need to walk faster as long as you are walking purposefully. If you were more experienced, I'd say that catching up to her in the store wouldn't be a problem, but if you feel like a creep doing that, you probably would come across like a creep. As you gain more experience, you'll be able to pick up on when to do that.

True true, it would probably look good to use the law of least effort once in approach her. Because if I just run and chase her and speak to her while out of breath, it would make me appear lower value. Correct?

Honestly, I'd be much more concerned with what happens AFTER you manage to get her attention. Hopefully, you shouldn't be out of breath just catching up to her unless she's in a car or something. I think you're worrying too much about whether you should walk slowly when in that case, it clearly lost you the girl. If you're coming up behind her and she can't see your walk, your speed doesn't matter. She can't see you anyways.

As soon as you see said beautiful girl,

"Hey, beautiful girl! Yes you! Hi."

Maintain elite eye contact by getting her to look at you first by calling to her attention, then look at her as her gaze meets yours.

Don't overthink it dude. You sound like you're a newbie (may be good with women for all I know but new to pick up) so the best thing is to just approach as much as possible to get the reference experiences.

It sounds like you used this as an excuse not to approach (or a rationalization as to why you didn't approach... don't worry we've all done it .

If you think its not going to work DO IT ANYWAY! Worst case scenario you get rejected and then you can come back and say "well that didn't work I need to stop her before she gets behind me".

There have been PLENTY of women that I've literally jogged up from behind to say hi to and had the interaction go well.

One girl I followed out of the mall and had to run for like 50 yards or more at almost top speed to catch her in the parkinglot. She liked me instantly and I made out with her within 5 minutes of talking to her.

Anything is possible don't ask what works find out for yourself. You'll be much happier you did!

Cool to meet you Throwdown! Keep going out and getting those reference experiences and then post some field reports so we can help you analyze where you might be going wrong!

Keep it pimpin homie!
