So, after a weekend of some particularly harsh rejections I did some re-reading on this site and I think I've zeroed in on one of my big flaws. I can't flirt worth a damn. At least I can't initiate that frame. I've been sticking largely to direct and occasionally situational openers, but I'm thinking if I could frame my openers flirtatiously it may change how women are responding.
Typically when I spot a girl I like I'll go up to her and give her a compliment of some sort (I have pretty much axed "beautiful" from my vocabulary) and follow that up with a "How's your night going?" or "What brings you out?" From there I try to do a lil deep diving to get the girl comfortable. Thing is conversations with women never seem to play out for me like the many examples laid out on this site. When I talk to girls they don't really invest / contribute to the conversation forcing me to claw for any info. I can to figure out just what kind of woman she is. What's frustrating here is girls often compliment me and are surprised by my choice of words when I open them. But then as we progress it feels like I got the door open just to have em slam it in my face.
So yeah, working on flirtatiousness I think will help a great deal. Unfortunately though when I'm out all the make-up and miniskirts blend together so it's difficult for me to off the bat pinpoint a unique thing about a particular woman to comment on. So yeah...probably could have kept this post a lot shorter by simply asking what kinds of flirty openers do you guys use? Thanks for sharing.
