Who cares about phone numbers?
All this talk about getting a ladies phone number is missing the point.
1. Having a conversation, flirting and chatting comes first, then.
2. Exchanging phone numbers is a sign of the followup.
So, first there has to be the motivation to return calls, make calls and even answer calls, answer emails.
So, we come down to the quality of the pickup line. We need a line that says to the lady that she needs to think about her and yo together. If this qualification is done then the number exchange is meaningful. Where it doesn't come, the lady has already decided to burn you off, even if she does give you her work mobile (instead of her personal cell number).
An opening NLP question that has worked for me is"
"Would a lady like you date a guy like me?"
In the mind this triggers off a series of
Am I looking for a date? Yes / no.
What kind of guy is he? Intrigue / no interest.
What kind of lady like me does he think I am? Intrigue / offense.
When I say it works for me, it catches the ladies that are interested and also, discounts the ones that aren't open to what I'm looking for.
If you have time this autumn, please give it a try 4-5 times and let me know via the forum.
