A Few Closing Remarks
Be a Low-maintenance conversationalist
The key to conversation with your target is to give her the impression that it is being led by both of you,
but requires little effort to keep it going. With the large number of possible guys to meet, women assign great value to a guy who is ‘low-maintenance’ in the area of conversation. Try to have 2 or 3 emergency topics before approaching her, just in case the conversation gets stale: “Where did you grow up?”, “Any brothers or sisters?”, “Where did you go to High School/College?” Engage her, challenge her, and entice her, but do it with subtlety. Practice, practice, practice.
Try to have fun.
Dating is a game that should be played with smiles and laughter. Don’t expect to take someone home every night; applying that kind of pressure to yourself will show in your attitude (especially when it gets late in the evening), and she’ll pick up on it. Remember that every encounter with a woman is a lesson. Minimally, you’ll get experience that you can use in a later meeting.
Mix it up a bit
For well-rounded knowledge of women, approach targets of all walks-of-life. Talk to blonds, brunettes, tall girls, short girls, and even women of another color (if you like). These experiences will help you find common trends, and provide you with a more accurate game-plan before you approach the next one. Most people will tell you not to generalize, but I won’t. Generalizations exist, because they’re usually accurate.
Make her feel beautiful
This is a great tactic.
Women (like everyone else) love to feel beautiful and desirable. Try to create a situation where she gets to be the ‘hot chick that everyone wants’. This works especially well if she isn’t the best looking girl in the place. Flirt and be friendly, her ego will do the rest.
Be confident
There’s a fine line between confident and pretentious. Find that line and stay on the confident side. Remember that a sale is being made here. Either you are selling the idea that she should be with you, or she’s selling you the idea that she shouldn’t. Speak deliberately, try not to half-ass your comments or gestures. Follow through.
Don’t be a puppy
Try to be 70%-80% available. If she walks off to talk to someone, stay put and relax with your circle of friends until she gives you the ‘come hither’. People love puppies that follow them everywhere, but no one respects them. Let her do some of the work!
Get Educated
There are a number of books available that study the human mind. Hit your local ‘cool bookstore’ and read a few. And try out some of my tips for meeting women while you’re there!
