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.

Yeah, well, I don't know any better. 😅
How'd you do it? Simply shout your name and hope she responds in-kind?
reply
You just say "excuse me. Hi, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Fabs". When she responds with her name you can say "nice to meet you (insert name)" and just nod and smile.
reply
But what do you do with your hands? That seems to be the source of confusion.

Hey! This right here!

Proud though I may be, I'm still going to rib you a little bit.
reply
Bring it, I'll manhandle you back into your cage 🥰
reply
Hm, and when you're, for example, already "seen" and a sorry would be out-of-place?
reply
I like a small wave, a smile and hi when you are already seen.

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!
reply
Don't try to hard. Act casual and I am sure you will find some nice one's to talk to.
reply
Even better would be if they went up to me, but ah, one can only dream... 🥲
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: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0697744/

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

I think it's more difficult for your generation. I think in today's world it's hard to draw the line between coming across as assertive while avoiding looking like a stalking creep.
reply
Well, that, and girls are literally courtes to 24/7 via "socials", making it increasingly hard for someone to make a catch "offline".
reply
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.
reply
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.
reply
I was just kidding, Gravy-Gray 🤭
Divorced, a child with the ex and then married again to another?
What happens that so many people choose to leave the SO AFTER being married?!
