Day Game - Do you approach from a distance?

[maskedmaskless]

I just started trying to go out to do day game, which has also involved practicing just talking to random people. After giving compliments to some people in passing (usually dudes or older women) to just warm up starting a conversation, I start looking to make an approach, but I feel like I never see girls to approach practically. The only time I feel like I see girls I would want to approach is in big groups or walking the other way. Do you tend to do things like run across the street to meet a girl going the other direction or how do you open and make it feel natural?

I do walk out of my way to catch up with them. I don’t run or anything but I do change my direction if needed.

If you’re doing daygame in non-busy streets, this is common. You cannot approach a lot of your targets without them seeing you coming.
You can also look for additional places that are busier like malls or universities.

More people = easier to approach undetected

A girl walking in my opposite direction or a woman walking past me happens alot, so that I have to catch up to them quickly either by jogging or by walking fast. Today I was on a phone call while a hot girl walked past. I stood still for a time watching her slowly disappear from me so I said fuck it and started walking behind her maybe 100 meters behind. Then I hung up and I jogged up and did a front stop on her. Some people will tell you not to do this for whatever reason, but she was super receptive and very hot and I got her contact info.
Or when I work out outside I have a nice view of a moderately trafficked trail where on good day I can approach around 4 hotties walking past me during my workout. These girls I also have to basically jog up to and stop.

So girls during daygame where they walk past me either from an opposite direction or past my eyes (Like they are coming from my right or left, 90 degrees) where I have to catch up to them, usually by jogging, is my daygame bread and butter. Today I also approached a girl from the side, I said she had cool pants on, it was more like a situational thing, because I bantered with her about how I want some tight yellow leggins like that for my yoga (I eventually said "jk, I just thought you were cute and didn't know what to say" (lying epic style). So, alot of roads lead to Rome.

Thanks for the replies. I will have to try it... tried going for a walk again today and saw a few opportunities to approach (~5-10) put chickened out. Caught a number of girls looking at me / checking me out during the course of the 7-hour walk but just couldn't bring myself to start a conversation even with the ego boost.

That first approach really gives you anxiety... does having someone around to push you help?

It's not realistic to always have someone with you when you are outdoors, you just have to push yourself to act.

Walk up to her in a bee-line movement and ask if she lives in the neighbourhood (as if you want to ask her for directions), if she answers (yes or no), just say "I just came to say hello, I don't really stay in this neighbourhood" ... (continue talking)....

A trick is to reduce the pressure to a possible level you can handle

aka start w less pressure type openers

eg initially just ask for the time or the road to xxx....

do that enough times til you start daring to add a second line..

then as a follow up react to her looks or accent - wait, are you xxx?? just a light curiousity with your eyes a lil squeezed as if youre wondering.

then stack reads

then add different vibes to each read

then mirror and pace.. to elicit things

or however you wanna roll out your plan to engage her. Simple Reads based on looks and accent are smart to activate her to respond to you and enables intrigue about why you see this w her. vibes add emotional energy, rollercoastering emotions if you swith them to each rad or question. You can amp these up in various ways too with a lil dramatic upsizing of them and the likes.

Another trick is to feel your body as you go there as well just asking for the time. it demands nothing than just checking in after and helps you feel and ground yourself which immensely puts more weight and harmony in your questioning.

but key is to reduce the pressure

or think of it as a training to increasingly handle pressure..

if she's walking fast you need to deploy some kind of pattern interrupt to get her attention/ stop her, preferably and pace with her a bit if is a metro place with a high amount of traffic. The vibe, positive energy, is the most important when approaching.

For the group situation, more people and mixed groups tend to have higher barriers, and jealousy or cockblocking happens more often. you CAN persist with them with a good attitude,
and yeah, every time I've gotten a higher quality girl it was from dealing with groups whether I had a wingman or not.
but I've gotten rejected by the "friends" even with HEAVY approach invitations, just because they are salty ugly bitches about their friends getting attention.

I remember while ago even approaching girls with their mom/grandma, fun times, lol
