Too busy to get to know the girl? That's just an excuse
by Skilldo

I'd like to share an idea with you.

In life, opportunities to encounter the woman of your dreams happen at a rate of twice a day.

That's right. To put it another way, there are plenty of chances to meet women in Singapore.

But such chances are available to you only when you put yourself in new and different situations with women as much as possible.

Most guys deny themselves of approaching ladies. And their reasons come down to these two.

There's the "Too busy to meet women" syndrome, and then there's the case of "I don't know what to say during the approach".

Let's examine why so many men say they are "too busy".

If a guy says he is too busy, then the question I'll pose to him is: "What are you busy doing?"

Typically, he will say he is busy with work. But I don't believe a person can be busy working all the time.

If you inspect your timeline over a week, you are bound to find blocks of time where you can meet women.

Besides, when it comes to starting conversations with females, not much time is required. If you have 15 to 20 minutes, that's more than enough time to approach her, start a conversation and get her contact number.

Let's delve a little deeper on this issue.

Imagine your daily schedule  from the moment you wake up to the time you hit the bed as a straight line from left to right.

Where are the points when you are not busy? Maybe it can be your journey to work, during your lunch break or after you knock off.

Think about it - where are the 15 to 20 minute blocks during these time points that could have allowed you to know new ladies?

To give you a sense of perspective, I know a gentleman who is "busy" by most standards and he frequently has only half a Saturday to socialize.

Even so, he would spend those half-saturdays at a shopping mall near his place, and bag the numbers of three to five women each time - and that is quite a handful to keep him busy for a while.

As for the "I don't know what to say during the approach" situations, I say, you do not need a flawless conversation starter or line.

After all, using an 'imperfect' line will get you much more success than a perfect one that does not get used at all.

Consider this 'imperfect' line I used in a DVD rental store some time back with a lady that rolled into a laughter-filled conversation.

It started with me witnessing her standing a few feet away from me, and she's studying the back-cover of a DVD movie case.

By the way, I happened to know what movie that was. I'm not going to name it here but it's real crappy.

I edged nearer to her, pointed at the case and said: "Don't borrow that. I watched that in the cinema and fell asleep in the first twenty minutes."

Her answer was a mixture of giggles and curiosity where she asked what made the movie so bad, and we moved onto other topics from bad movies to underrated actors.

Eventually, the whole thing carried over to both of us hanging out at a nearby cafe and continuing the dialogue.

So as you can tell, there wasn't anything "special" about my approach line.

It was just a casual comment.  Is it perfect? No, it wasn't.

But did it start a conversation? Yes, it did.

My point is, approaching women doesn't have to be a hair-raising experience. But with the right set of skills, it is enjoyable.
