Hey guys, this is my first time in this forum so I hope we can learn each other.

Here the deal. I'm try the Newbie Assignment and I'm kinda stuck in Day 3 (about making eye contact with anyone). When I making eye contact, two things.

One, I don't know when to make eye contact or find the right timing to make eye contact. (Walking past each other, When I sitting, etc.)

Two, every eye contact I make, they doesn't notice my eye contact. They don't look very observing if you know what I mean.

To be honest, I found quite hard to make eye contact with anyone. And I need some advise. Thank you.

Note to Chase: I found out your blog few weeks ago. I read some of them and I found out it was awesome. Now I know why girls kinda like ignore me because I didn't approach them, talk to them and move fast, also kinda being "nice guy". Thanks Chase, you have my appreciation.

I feel like most people will purposely avoid eye contact with you if you try to force it by looking at them first.

Try to draw eye contact instead by having great hair, facial hair, a smile, fashionable attire, manly posture, model walk, etc. So walk around with your eyes forward, gazing ahead in front of you over the top of others' heads like a leader, and be observant of others' eyes. You can also look away from the girl first. This will make it easier for the girl to check you out because she'll feel like she has less chance of getting caught.

When you do notice/feel eyes on you, DON'T immediately match their eye contact because it could feel like a GOTCHA kind of a thing. Do the half-step (or whatever it was called), or bring your eyes to theirs slowly and gracefully. The half-step (or whatever it was called) is where you first point your eyes at the space halfway between where your eyes were pointing and the girl's eyes for a moment, then match her eye contact. Make sure you smile when you do the half-step (or whatever it was called) though because it can be pretty intimidating. You want to get the girls wet, not scared.

When I first started out almost a year ago, I was too pussy to even look at cashiers in the eyes. So you can try starting with that. I had to force myself to make eye contact with cashiers and ask how their day or shift was. THAT used to be hard for me. Now it's pretty automatic.

Hope this helps

Okay, I'll give a try. If is not working, maybe I'll change my style a little bit until it's works. Thanks fsc.

By the way. About the facial hair, I don't have any facial hair. In fact, I don't like having facial hair myself. It is okay to pick up girls without facial hair?

And the haircut, is it recommended to go to salon for getting a great haircut? (I didn't found any article about haircut yet)

Brah, it's your face, it's your style. If you don't like having facial hair, then shave it. I actually never kept my facial hair until just last week--I'm growing out a goatee and trying something new.

There was actually an article in which Chase or one of the GC writers suggested you go to a popular salon and have your hair done by a gay guy or something like that. Ask for a sexy haircut that will match your face structure and give the stylist a boner. If you like it, then remember how it looks and you can prolly get the hair style replicated at a cheaper barber shop.

Don't be shy about changing yourself up. Try different hair and facial hair styles, and clothes. Check out male celeb styles or Google "sexy summer styles for men" or something like that

Again, thanks fsc. I own you one. :)

By the way, there is something I'm curious about. For example: I'm go for a regular clothes or something like that (not really sexy clothes one). There's a girl in front of me and I'm going to approach her while she didn't saw me, do you think she will "auto reject" me when I opening to her? (The reason I'm asking this question because I never seen or meet the PUA in my whole life, regardless what're they look like, or is he skinny or fat, or is he black or white, etc.)

You're making PUAs seem like a distinct subset of people with our own uniforms and whatnot, as if we're firefighters or policemen. I personally dislike the term "PUA". I feel like the term PUA negatively and incorrectly stereotypes us, similar to how the term "alpha male" reminds me of a douchey, fratty, obnoxious guy in tank tops, salmon shorts, Sperrys, and a sorority hat worn backwards.

We are simply men who are trying to improve our social skills with women so that we can effectively and efficiently get ourselves female friends, a long-term girlfriend, a wife, one-night stands, or friends with benefits. No lame pickup lines, no gimmicks, no tricking women into bed, and no overly flashy attire (I've actually seen a Steven Tyler lookalike in a purple 3-piece suit, white scarf, cowboy boots and hat, with sunglasses inside a club once...HE is what I get reminded of when I hear "PUA". I actually never saw that guy interacting with a girl that night). We may be tall, short, skinny, fat, muscular, black, white, green, yellow, poor, rich, whatever. Like I said, we're simply men trying to better ourselves.

I don't know what your definition of "regular clothes" is, but for the first two years of engineering school I wore plain v necks, straight jeans, and worn-out Nikes. That was my regular clothes, and that's what I felt comfortable in. Did I get girls? LOL. No. Ask yourself this question: "Do I want a girl who dresses well or a girl who dresses like shit?" I'm pretty sure you want a girl who dresses well. Probably one who dresses in a sexy way if you think about it; what would make a girl more desirable to you--a girl in a tight mini dress, a girl in volleyball shorts, or a girl in plain shirt and jeans? You'll probably find the first two girls the most attractive. Similarly, girls would prefer more a guy who dresses well. Sexiness is also a factor here; who do you think girls will be more attracted to--a well-groomed guy in trendy attire or a plain Joe in a plain shirt and basketball shorts?

I think dressing well is subjective. For example, wearing all black may appeal to gothic girls while others may ignore you. Furthermore, wearing a button-up shirt with slim fit jeans may serve you well among college girls but probably slightly less with professional women who would probably prefer more a man in dress shirt and slacks. I think the venue in which you meet the girl matters as well. The one opportunity I had in the first year was at a Sexy Joggers and Hunky Loggers party. I didn't have the necessary clothes to fit the "Hunky Logger" look, so I went to the party in a tank top and basketball shorts. I was on the boxing team at the time so my body was alright. There were 3 girls interested in me that night. I could've made shit happen if I new about GirlsChase back then =/Anyway, you don't want to be wearing a purple 3-piece suit, white scarf, cowboy boots and hat, with sunglasses inside a club. Actually, don't ever wear that. For a better example, if you're going to day game at a beach, then dress like you might actually go in the water or you'll look a little odd.

The girl in front of you...I don't know what context this is in, but this also depends a bit on the venue. In a crowded club/bar/party, a girl is more likely to be cold if you're dressed badly relative to the other men there. Also I think you are referring to a girl's initial reception of you rather than auto-rejection, which is something else.
