<p>leah, i’d write you a song online, but i feel like it won’t help me get anywhere.</p>
<p>one thing i want to be able to do is pick up girls on the metro. i seem to end up near a cute girl about once a week. i’d be willing to put myself out there and talk to her if it wasn’t for the fact that no one on the metro talks to eachother.</p>
<p>talking to a random girl is tough enough in a good social situation like a party or a club. dc metro is basically people sitting, listening to their ipods, reading, and ignoring the existance of everyone else around them. i’d probably have better luck randomly walking on the street.</p>
<p>Haha…u guys surely think a lot. Now, what prompted u to ask a girl out whom you know nothing about? At least about the player, Russell talked about, was studying in the same coll as the girl. If the girl/boy you intend to ask out in a metro, is the one you see regularly there (like if she works there or she reguralrly hangs out ?? there), it is ok. But asking a stranger, one you have seen for the first time, is somehow … well, i don;t know what to say. But, if you want you can try. You don’t lose anything if a stranger says a no. if s/he says ‘yes’, you have a date to look forward to. </p>
<p>Now, don’t ask now how to ask someone out when u are in a funeral!!! haha…just jokin, no offense intended!!! :D</p>
<p>ok, let me try a possiblity. If you can find out what she likes, through his/her appereance or what s/he is doing, you can approach her. If s/he is in a jersey of a club or a t-shirt/badge of a musical band, artist, etc., you can begin conversation with that. “Hey. you like ‘this’ club? I am a huge fan too.” if s/he responds +vely, you can add “did you see their last game? this guy/girl played really gr8”…and stuffs like that.</p>
<p>sadly i didn’t have many female friends in high school (at least ones who weren’t blazed out of their minds half the time) so i dont have them to help me meet new girls. it seems the only place i see new girls who aren’t 10+ years older than me is randomly on the metro. sadly, i agree with jasonshah that it’s a tad strange to go for a random person you have no connection with. if only i was like easy…</p>
<p>Well high school should be easier to get girls since it is a smaller setting. You’ve both lived in the same area in most cases, have had many of the same teachers, know some of the same people, see each other on a daily basis even if just through walking the halls. College, you might see a hot chick once, then you may never see them again(I went to a large college with 3 different campuses). So the advice is pretty much the same as given, either join a club/s, group/s, etc that you are interested in since you are likely going to meet alike people there. Since you are asian(going to be a bit stereotypical here), it should be even easier for you, you can join an ethnic club and hit on cute girls at the library studying(just pull up a seat next to em, check out what she’s studying, strike up a conversation). And there is always the cold approach, if you get beyond the first batch of rejections, you’ll likely get something. </p>
<p>At the mall, I’ve never bothered picking up chicks, mostly cause my mall is full of ghetto ugly people, or too young. </p>
<p>As for ‘techniques’ mentioned, I’ve found good eye contact to be great, you don’t even have to say anything and the girls will come to you at times! Someone mentioned using PUA things and that they are common sense, and they are, but they are helpful to do if you aren’t used to it or find yourself lost or in need of assistance.</p>
<p>It only seems like common sense because received wisdom always seems obvious in retrospect. </p>
<p>I hope girls get wary of PUA techniques, so someday, somewhere this will take place: “Cut the ********. I know the cube test and the C-shaped teeth crap, and I know that you’re trying to display a DHV and trying to AMOG my boyfriend. Your sniper negs are transparent as hell too.”</p>
<p>several things to point out in reading the last couple pages of this thread:</p>
<p>1) *** are those acronyms easy?
2) i love how someone called bassmaster basshunter. Basshunter is ill ****.
3) to the dude waiting to see how the 2nd date goes before asking some other girl out: why are you waiting? You aren’t committed to one girl or the other yet, you can make that call later. It’s also an extremely fun ego boost to date two girls at once.</p>
<p>PUA is pick up artist
neg is when you do something opposite of a compliment to a girl (neg = negative).</p>
<p>The only other one’s that I know are AFC (average frustrated chump) and keno (touching). Just from another forum I go to… some of the people are pretty hardcore with that PUA stuff. I’m not really into it.</p>
<p>Yea, I watched the PUA show on VH1, it was interesting. I read some of a “How to talk Successfully” or some book along those lines. What I like about those things is when someone uses those “techniques” naturally without ever knowing it, it just brings a smile to my face because there is sometimes a term for what they just did and I actually know it and appreciate it more. It usually makes the person more charismatic, which is never a bad thing.</p>
