No handshakes.
Tell me more, sensei.

Ha. You will have to talk to @cryotosensei if you want a true sensei. I just think handshaking women unless it is a business setting is kind of lame.
reply
Yeah, well, I don't know any better. 😅
How'd you do it? Simply shout your name and hope she responds in-kind?

But what do you do with your hands? That seems to be the source of confusion.

Proud though I may be, I'm still going to rib you a little bit.

That's pretty much my plan for the club this weekend: Stand at a table and be on the lookout like a hawk until I catch a girl's looks, then smile and wave, and as soon as she responds positively to me (i.e does the same) I walk up to her and ask her what she's up to for the night, after which I'll try and see if she wants to go to a quieter place, get something to drink and hopefully have endless conversations!

I think @grayruby's no handshake advice is solid. This post is bringing back anxiety filled memories for me. I was terrible. You're already smoother than I was. I would have liked to give the Seinfeld Opposite George technique a try. Maybe you can if you hit a cold spell:

We don't unnecessarily edge people around here, Siggl, dig deep and tell us your "best" memory! 🤭😁
And what's the ELI5 of the link? I'm not too keen on watching the episode.

Basically just doing the opposite of whatever your instincts tell you. As far as I go, I can honestly say that none of my planned pick ups worked out well. The only successful ones were when it kind of happened naturally, and I didn't need to go out on a limb. There was obvious mutual interest.

Yeah, hm, it's difficult ain't it.

In my younger years I was a big flirt. I used to actually do pretty well meeting women. I just wasn't very good at keeping women because I was so focused on my life.

Ah, a player @grayruby's past houses a little playboy, huh?🤭
reply
I wouldn't go so far as playboy and I definitely wasn't suave in my late teens and early twenties. I started to have more success with women when I grew up a little in my mid twenties before I got married, divorced and had a kid and got married again in the span of a few years in my late 20s, early 30s. Life comes at you fast.
