Many of the information out there on the topic of how to approach a woman mainly goes about it from a man's point of view. I'm going to blow the doors wide open and invite you into the female psyche. I'll share exactly what all women want to happen when a man approaches her. And how they want to be approached isn't what you've been reading about.
To begin with, women do not like to be picked up. Men who try to pick them up don't interests them. She wants something different. She wants a connection. She wants a man who's present. She wants to share a "moment" with a man.
Do you have any idea what a "moment" is? Specifically how to create one with a woman? Although you probably never heard of the term "moment" before, I'm pretty sure you know exactly what I mean. This is when a man makes a woman feel a deep connection with him and takes her away from her reality for just a moment. This moment is not logical. Nor is it physical. It is an intense emotion.
Here's how to approach her and create that moment with her.
You're not going to be using any memorized openers or saying any pick up lines. What you're going to do is observe what she's thinking and doing in the present moment. There's your opener. If she's getting coffee go up and ask why she needs such a big cup of coffee. Then STOP. and listen! If you're missing the crucial next step I'm about to reveal, you won't be able to create this moment with her. It is to be fully PRESENT and be in the moment with her. Put all your focus on her and just listen while looking into her eyes.
Listen for keywords and once she's done telling you her story follow up with questions involving the keywords. After you've asked her enough questions you can then begin to talk and tell some of your stories. Tell your story with strength and confidence while still keeping your eyes locked with hers. You might begin with telling her about when you were in France and tasted the most amazing cup of coffee and all the great experiences you had during that trip. Then watch as her pupils dilate. She just experienced having a moment with you. She just imagined you and her in that setting.
At this point, you can take the conversation whichever way you want. It can be as simple as you letting her know that you've enjoyed having a conversation with her and wish to continue it. Now get her phone number or email so you can set up a date.
