Are British girls less approachable than American girls?

[R00kie]

Hi,
I'm really new to this pick up thing but and quite excited to get started, but I have a few questions and insecurities.

1. Are British girls more conservative and harder to approach?
I ask this because one of my friends (we both live in London) liked this girl who worked in the same company with him (they had met but it was only small talk), and he decided to take her to a work event (one of those things where you represent your company and are mixed in with a lot of different branches of different companies) with him. When I asked him, "why not ask her for a date (like going for coffee or lunch or whatever) instead, he told me "thats not how it works, she hardly knows me." But after reading the articles here, it seems that quickly getting girls on dates and moving fast is exactly how it works so is it that girls in London are less warm to approaches like the ones described in Girl Chase, or is it just him?

2. I'm 5"6-5"7, how much will this limit me in terms of the girls I can pull?
I've just turned 17 years old, so extremely young compared to the general age of people on this site, and also a slow grower, so I think I might get to 5"9-5"10 (my dad is 5"10), and I know that things like height, money, and looks aren't as important as long as you can do things like deep dive or open or hold a real conversation really well, but I always get insecure when I stand near my friends, who all average around 5"10-6"1.

Thanks

Actually forget the second question, the first is more important.

Hmm, yeah, I've heard that British girls can be a bit tougher on their men. But I don't think that was the case here. If he wanted to frame himself as a sexual man, he should have went for the date. Or at least invited her somewhere and physically escalated. At most, he's going to slot himself into boyfriend territory. The whole "that's not how it works, she hardly knows me" thing is something you encounter with people who have traditional views on dating (i.e. 3 dates before sex, must court the woman, etc.). Obviously, as you know, this website doesn't advocate what people normally do, but what actually works.

Anyways, the purpose of the date is to get to know her. That's what deep diving is for.

You're exactly right about other things being more important. Focus on and learn about the things that you can control, and you'll find success.

Thanks Jake for clearing that up for me.

British girls will find it slightly more odd that someone is just coming and speaking to them out of the blue as this is more socially acceptable in the US than the UK (regardless of whether there is sexual intent behind it).

But once they get over the initial surprise exactly the same principles would apply.

Oh by the way I'm British and the most successful "natural" I have ever known here would just very directly ask girls (usually colleagues) out on dates making it pretty obvious by his manner what that would lead to. Most of them accepted judging by his record!
