So did you do any today?

I did.

The deep end is there to be jumped into. There is no right time. Now will do.

Lol leave us beginners alone

The big problem here seemed to be that you think there's something wrong or outrageous about telling a girl she's hot; like it would get you slapped or in trouble or something. The fact is that's not true at all. You want to chat to fit girls because they're fit, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Girls are hot, they want to look hot, and they like to be told that provided it's not done in a weird way. A big struggle for beginners is understanding that girls all like guys and want to have sex with them.

For a girl to be comfortable around you you have to be comfortable in the situation yourself first. If you go up to chat to a girl she already knows why. Coming up with false excuses and big convoluted routines to find a way to talk to her gives off the message "I'm attracted to you but I'm not comfortable enough to be honest about it". So not only does that way very rarely work, it ingrains in your head that you have to do that to talk to girls.

Being friendly, direct and relaxed about it works a lot better, and there's nothing outlandish or outrageous about it at all. It makes your life much easier. The fact you think it's a big deal is exactly why you should go out and try it. The earlier you realise that stuff like telling girls straight up that they look hot the better off you'll be.

At least that's what I thought of this. Hope that's a help.

while I agree with Stein, I want to add that if a beginner (like the OP) goes direct in the wrong way, he WILL end up seeming creepy...

to uncreep: hold eye contact for a bit (confidence) but occasionally break eye contact (do not stare: creepy), flash a big smile (do NOT flash a big cock, that really is creepy), talk slowly and clearly, be chilled out and confident

Word.

Rebus' comment is the epitome of how pick-up fucks you up.

Go out and speak to girls. Once you've got that down start closing (or focusing on closing).

There's only three things to pick-up; approaching, speaking, closing.

Good luck.

I think we're all approaching this from the wrong angle

Hold her head under the water until she agrees to give you a hand job in the jacuzzi!

Sha, if the OP is so confident and relaxed around women, why would he post in beginners' section asking for our advice?

For a beginner, the answer isn't "just do it" or "it's simple". If he knew it all, he would not have posted.

What u said about "Go out and speak to girls." aka practice is crucial, but he also needs guidelines of WHAT to be aware of b4 he does it...

Fuck, I need to get to a proper computer, Ill do a proper post (for once) and breakdown your advice and why its bad. Notice I don't mean you, just your advice.

Its actually really important and what separates this forum from every other forum I've seen out there.
