so i kinda cheated on this one as i had already met the female a week before. But read through you'l get the jist. any comments much appreciated!


In my local supermarket i decided to try and get her number in about the time it takes to put around 15 items through the till - i had an IOI of her a week ago. i had practised the routine over and over for about an hour before.


Walked up to her till, ignored her as planned.

Her- ‘hi’ – looked at each other (not into each others eyes) and smiled,
Mingle- ‘didn’t you give me them small rubbish bags last time?’
Her- ‘yer I did’ laughs straight away and remembers me from a week ago
Mingle- ‘one of them bags broke on me! U told me that they were strong!’
Her- ‘ohh no’ she laughs
Mingle- ‘you were lying to me’
Her- Laughs ‘no I thought that they were strong’
Mingle- ‘no, that’s it me and you are done, were over, im not talking to you again’
She laughs
Her- ‘I apologise for the rubbish bags'
Mingle- ‘apology accepted’

Few seconds pass

Mingle- ‘where r u from?’
Her- ‘im from here’
Mingle- ‘where? Here?’
Her- ‘No I live in nexxxxxx’
Mingle- ‘ahh right, you sound like you’re from a weird place, is it a weird place?’ – neg?
Her- ‘weird?’ laughs ‘whats that supposed to mean?’
Mingle- ‘you just sound weird’ laughs
Her- ‘ohh thanks’ sarci, laughs
Her- ‘where r u from?’
Mingle- ‘I told you last time’
Her- ‘ohhhh mmmmmmmm, Coventry………………. no cxxxxxxx’
Mingle- ‘yep spot on’
Her- ‘see I do remember’

Few seconds pass – started to get nervous, said this in a shaky nervous way

Mingle- ‘you know what (paused for a second), you’re cute,’
Her- ‘cuuuuue what?’
Mingle- ‘cute’
Her- ‘ohhhh’ laughs
Mingle- ‘im going to call you’
Her- ‘call me what?’
Mingle- ‘call you, call you up’
Laughs has gone abit red in face
Mingle- ‘but there’s a problem, I need your number so ill write it down’
Her- ‘a lot of guys have been hitting on me lately; I had a guy leave me his number on a bit of paper the other day’
Mingle- ‘and I wonder why’
Her- ‘ive got a boyfriend, been with him for 2 years’
Mingle- ‘ohhhh……………………………………………….hes a lucky guy then!’
Her- ‘he is’
Mingle- ‘ok, thanks, see you later’

I take my receipt and leave with a fake nervous disappointed smile.
We didnt make much eye contact at all

That's ok, you did good. Especially if there were people in the que behind you.

I had something similar in boots last week where I asked the girl out but she had a bf.

Fuck it, you feel better going for it than not.

Yeah, you've done something most guys wouldn't do so good on you mate for having the guts to go for it.

At least you know the score with her now and can move on with the added experience.

It's one less 'no' on the way to the inevitable 'yes'.

That's brilliant Mingle.

As the others have said most guys would never have the courage to do that and stay trapped in their heads. You now know she has a bf and she know's you are a confident guy. You can get on with your life and she can hers. That's a good place to be.

Thanks for the replies!

i do have to admit that there wasn't anyone else in the que behind, I don't think that would have made any difference to me anyway. I definitely learned from this and picked up some experience! PU's can only get easier!

Over the next month I will be have some nights out with friends, so to help me with my night game I have been learning some simple and easy bar tricks. The sort that you can try and make money from and get free drinks, but im just going to use them to impress and entertain the target.

U cant get every girls number on the planet. if u did this 10 times, u would get 4 numbers. end of story.

If I was you I wouldn't spend too much energy on learning the tricks. I've found the best way to impress a woman is not to try to impress her. Just talk to her. Let her impress you.
