Never Give Up!

Hi,

I have a question: once I read one of your articles explaining how to talk to a beautiful girl whom we don't even know. The article said that one should be confident and talk to her right away. I did that very same thing. Building up every bit of confidence I had, I went to her, greeted her and asked if we could talk but the response on her face was like, "Who the hell are you?" Is that normal? Is there any other way in which I can impress girls and not get that kind of look?

Hello "Anonymous"!

When you approach someone you have no way of knowing what they've been through that day, week, month, year or lifetime! Thus, you shouldn't even care what a person's reaction is. It may be good sometimes or it may be bad sometimes. It doesn't matter! As you get good at approaching women, you'll find that your success ration soars. Just keep at it.

The best approach is to use humor when possible, but frankly, not everyone is funny. Further, not everyone sees the same things as funny as others. So, this can be a little difficult.

I look at everyone a little differently than most people do. Most everyone sees everyone else as a challenge in some way. I view people as my entertainment! I honestly believe that people exist to entertain me.

For example, I'll be walking along with some woman, and someone will walk past with a ring in his or her nose and purple hair. I'll turn to my date and say, "You know why that person dresses that way?" She'll say, "No, why?" "To entertain me!" I'll respond.

You should never worry about the response you get from someone you approach, and yes, I know that is much easier said than done. But, here are some reasons why:

1) You don't know how or why they react the way they do. Perhaps they've been stalked, or maybe they've had a bad day. On the other hand, maybe they've been unhappy because they're lonely - and you just made their day by saying hello!

2) Nobody wants to be alone the rest of his or her life - neither you, nor me, nor that cute chick at the end of the bar.

3) It isn't for you to decide who any particular woman dates or doesn't date - it's her choice, just like who you approach is yours.

4) You're simply using the law of averages to your advantage every time you approach someone. In fact, I recommend to many men that they don't try to go out and get "yes's" from women - go get 20 "no's" instead! That seems contrary to our goals here, but look at it like this: nobody (including you) is so special that you can fail every single time! You're going to find that in amongst those "no's" you're going to get at least some "yes's". So what if you get 20 "no's" and 5 "yes's" - you're 5 "yes's" up!!!

All the tools are important: build confidence, learn to say "hello" and make eye contact, strike immediately without waiting, and always close, but the most important is: don’t worry about other people’ “issues”; NEVER GIVE UP!

Best regards...
