Street Pickup

Find a Spot

It's best to survey the area and find a spot to chill at. I'm a musician so I carry my guitar with me. I play a few songs and when I'm done playing girls come up to and ask where did I learn to play like that. If you're not a musician no worries. You can act like a lost tourist.

There's nothing wrong with asking for directions, you can ask a girl is "so and so" is around here. If she seems interested in you ask what her schedule is like. If she is free proceed to "so and so aka location to sit and relax". There are many ways to open a girl on the street, but you want to blend into the environment. Feel free to chat up the local shops, ask about their products especially if they're on the smaller scale aka local business. You really want to avoid walking the block in circles, when I play my guitar I notice people who do that and you end creeping a lot of people out. I say check out the stores, find a spot, open girls in a refreshing way, and head out. You can always come back several hours later.
Like try it in the afternoon and later at night.

Howdy Fox,

So how does one do street pickup without being creepy or giving off a "I come here to do this" vibe?

The vibe you want in street is essentially a bit excited, a bit enthusiastic, but not over the top. You're out shopping or milling about or walking around town, and you've just noticed this gorgeous girl you simply have to get to know... that's the vibe you're going for when you approach.

At malls, I typically am walking to different stores, and basically pretending that I am shopping, but I really did just come to the mall to work on my game.

Is this what one has to do with street pickup? Or does one just walk around a block in constant circles chatting up girls along the way?

You can go around in "circles," provided the circles are big enough, of course. If there are squares or plazas that pretty girls congregate in, this can be a great place to meet women outdoors. Usually these are big enough that you can spend time walking around in them meeting women. Dave makes a point about creeping people out... I'd say judge based on what your goals are. If you're going to be running into these people and they're important parts of your life, then don't keep circling around. If they're strangers you're never going to interact with ever though, meeting pretty new girls and upping your game skills are more important.

Also, if you could state what you do when you're out doing game, such as "I go to the bookstore, then walk to a cafe, chatting up girls on the street along the way, and then enter the cafe approach a girl there", that would be awesome!

It's best to have something you're going out to do, e.g., "Today I'm going to buy new boots." So, you leave to go buy boots, and you meet women along the way as you do. This also prevents you from having to do the circling thing too, which is a bonus! Of course, if your goal is pick up a girl and take her home, sometimes you won't have luck on the walk there and you do end up having to circle around for an hour or two or more if you're committed to picking up that day. You can fix your fundamentals and your approach, but after that it's all a roll of the dice...
