@chai2,
On a serious note though, it doesn't surprise me at all that all the women rejected the "pick up artist" who used their very own suggestions on them.
On paper, or in their minds, I guess these trite lines like "you're gorgeous" or "want to go out for coffee" sound very romantic.
In the cold light of day, this is in fact a complete stranger falling out of the clear blue sky.
Thinking back on how all my first dates with a man was initiated, it was almost never by someone handing me a line, or even asking me out upon our first meeting.
Usually it was because we kept seeing each other in the same place, had brief conversations, increasing in length, 3, 4 or 5 times, and we both actually knew quite a bit about each other by the time the first date occured.
One occassion that pops to mind where I did accept a date upon first meeting, it turned out to be a nightmare.
Stop being in such a rush, the fun is taking the journey.
