Day 2
She has headphones on and doesn't notice me. I walked up a bit closer to her and got her attention... told her my situation and went direct and then she screamed and ran back into the building...
Lol, that's hilarious, not to be laughing at your expense or anything, but I would have loved to have seen that.
In anycase, you provided more detail on the first scenario. First off, good job for even having the balls to do that. It's hard enough approaching a girl as is, but approaching a girl in front of her peers is definitely a difficult task.
Here's a couple of solutions:
1. Just avoid that situation, you don't need to approach a girl in front of her peers, sometimes you may need to exercise some social discretion, that's a point that London Soul from LoveSystems makes. If a girl is in front of her friends or her family, she may act differently. There are PLENTY of sets of women that are by themselves or just with one friend.
2. Make sure you go in ultra playful and a giant smile on your face and adopt a frame as if you were dared to go in and do it. I think a big problem is that a lot of guys go direct and are serious when they do it. They deliver it with a lot of seriousness. Generally speaking, seriousness kills most PUAs and in this specific situation, from what it sounded like, either you went in and were too nervous or too serious and it made it easy for her peers to AMOG you. Try this next time.
You: (WIth the biggest most ridiculous smile on your face and playful tone of voice) "I think you are the cutest girl in the world, what's your name?"
Friends: *Laugh at you*
You: "I know, I know" *Wave them off* "I'll just be flirting with your friend a few more minutes"
Then you stack forward and go for the # close. Remember to have fun with it, if you're not having fun with it, you're AA and nervousness will get the best of you.
