Quick background:
After reading most of the articles on GC over the summer, I've made 12 cold approaches since September on the streets/on campus/in stores, and 10 of those openers were a variation of "Hey, FAIRLY-GENERIC COMPLIMENT, and I was wondering if you are single". My first number was totally DTF, took the second girl to an instant date, then I entered a dry spell. I considered the last 10 girls I approached as rejections because they told me they were taken, and I felt like it was too early for me to push things. I tried my best to exit as gracefully and quickly as possible by telling her that (her response) was heart-breaking with a smile or by making a heart with my fingers on my chest and splitting it with an exaggerated pout followed by a smile, then I'd maybe compliment once more and leave the scene telling her to have a great day/evening. For opening, I either jogged up to them from behind, stood/sat right next to them, or did a full-frontal opening, and I can't recall for sure if I was smiling or not.
The issue:
I plead guilty to watching pickup videos on YouTube of RSD's Owen/Tyler, SimplePickup, and Vitaly. I let myself get brainwashed into thinking that I could do those wild/apparently-ballsy things and find success. I haven't done anything YouTube-y on my cold approaches yet, and the "wildest" things I've done were: "guess my ____ within 3 tries or you owe me a kiss" at a party which wasn't very successful and quite retarded now that I think about it, and a cold approach that I opened with "you have an amazing body...are you single by any chance?". I was considering being more ballsy with my cold approaches when I came across this post: https://boards.girlschase.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3899.
Now I am confused about what is creepy and what is not. I've read the GC articles on how to not be a creepy guy and social calibration, but I feel like I need some concrete examples. I can't really afford to experiment and find out what's creepy and what's not first-hand because I don't want to stir up a bad reputation for my fraternity and my brothers. I can drive out elsewhere and practice, but that's not very optimal for a broke and busy computer science major.
Bottom line:
Can you list some sample openings that went well for you as well as those that didn't?
Much thanks in advance for the guidance.
This site is a gold mine.
