I spend a lot of time studying in the library just over the road from my halls. There's usually always a HB reading or typing away somewhere. Today i'm stood up doing some group work and notice a girl working at a computer by herself facing me, we make EC whilst i'm there, didn't think a lot of it other than she looked nice. Shortly after i'm about to leave and she makes EC again, this time I thought it might be worth going up and saying something but in the same thought process decided not to as the room was packed full of other students.

In the end i know i probably should have even if it was a minor IOI. But anyway.

Library game?

Thinking of different approach methods to test out (suggestions welcome). Going to make it a work in progress. Will post the results appropriately.

Feel like this challenge will motivate my day game a bit more and stop me from bailing on any opportunities.

pick up the kama sutra, drop it in front of her, smile and tell her she should give it a read. Then say hi im jim, you studying bla de bla?

Don't be the guy who tries to chat up people using cheesy lines and material in the uni library. We had a Facebook group dedicated to ours, he was a laughing stock. If you see a lass you like, go and say hi. No bullshit routines, no prepared lines, just go and strike up a conversation. You know, like normal people do.

Or do what Lee said about the Karma Sutra. That gets you mad pussy. Wonder how Phil was getting laid so much? Wonder no more!

Perfect advice Blanca.

I used to simply say hi and suggest a coffee break.

Other times, when the eye-contact had been going on for a while, I'd introduce myself and simply say "I really have to finish this paper for tomorrow and I think it'd be less distracting if we know each other's name." Unvariably, that would make the girl smile. We'd do some small talk for a minute and I'd close the conversation with: "Like I said I have to finish my paper and I got a couple exams lined up this week. Let's go for a drink some time next week. Are you on Facebook?"

I can't remember the last time this didn't work.

I insist on small talk because you're not in a club, it would show very little social intelligence to use the kind of routine that you'd use on the dancefloor when you and your interlocutor had a few drinks. Instead, you want to show that you're normal.
"Who lies more? Men or women?" will produce the exact opposite of that. But you'd figure that out.

There's something else I did when I was in a splendid mood. Let's say I had eye contact with a girl sitting in front of me at the library. We would smile at each other and I'd write down: "Coffee break in 10 minutes?" on a piece of paper and show it to her.

And a fun one for last: I'd take a piece of paper and start drawing a portrait of the girl.

Of course, I'm a shitty drawer and it would look something like this:

And the I'd go: "You want me to sign if for you?"
Then I'd give it to her and mentionned that she owed me a coffee for my artistic effort.

Only do this once or twice though or you'll get labelled on your campus of course.

Good advice and suggestions from all, cheers.
