Scenario: A few blocks away from Union Square Park in New York City, you tread carefully around all the sidewalk construction. It's a long weekend day ahead of you, and you're just out to enjoy the day. As you refocus your attention onto the sidewalk ahead, you happen to notice a young attractive girl with an intriguing style heading your direction. It's nearing winter, so the air is crisp. You take a deep breath of confidence as you prepare yourself for the moment...
- Girl walks towards your direction (Shields up)
- You continue moving forward
- Still moving forward, you make eye contact and smile
- Girl looks away in another direction (Shields up)
- The two of you pass each other ("Whew, he didn't approach me!" Shields down)
- You turn your head over your shoulder
- You: "Excuse Me!"
- Girl turns around (Curious)
- You: "Hi, I was wondering where I could find a nice ____ around here." (Opinion opener)
- Girl: Blah, blah, blah (Listen, reward, and relate)
- You: "I love how you're so ____. You must be from ____." (Notice something about them)
- Girl responds
- You: "Oh really? What's there to do around there?" (Ask an open-ended question)
- Girl responds
- A few minutes later...
- You: "My friends and I are going to ____ later tonight. You should come." (Invite to future social event)
- Girl responds
- You: "Hey thanks for all the help! (hug) Call me later tonight." (Assume familiarity)
- You begin to walk away
- Girl: "Wait a minute; I don't have your number." (Hooked!)
- You smile back at her and exchange numbers.
That was how I got my quickest number closure to date. A little under 5 minutes. Good luck!
