This might work for you but I would never do this. Girls aren't dumb. They can see right through stuff like this. No girl is going to think some random guy is looking for a pasta sauce advisor in the grocery store. You might as well just ask her if she wants to try your alfredo sauce; it would have the same meaning behind it. There's no need to try to trick her or lie. They know what you're trying to do.

Which brings me to the next point: NEVER tell a girl you have a date or are in a relationship, etc. She could lose interest if she had any, or she'll see through it and think it's an immature way to try to pick up a girl. Chances are you won't be able to make such an impression on a girl you just met that you make her jealous enough about a date that she thinks it's worth her trouble to pursue any kind of interest she has in you.

Just be upfront. Well, not upfront as in "YOU PRETTY! CAN I HAVE YOUR NUMBER???", but don't try to hide any attraction. Again, they know why you chose to talk to them. Always good to ease in with some kind of witty remark (what that is depends on the situation... or how witty you are), and then just straight up flirt, which is the easiest thing in the world to do if you are confident. Humour, charm, confidence. Can't go wrong.

VERY broad advice, but alot of it is just comes down to spontaneity. I know this won't apply to people that are of a certain personality type, but it's what works for me.

Okay that's your take on it but it works for me majority of the time. I know how to cook so I would ask and have asked for advice on pasta sauce. The last time I went grocery shopping I asked this older lady for advice on cooking oils. I wasn't trying to pick her up or start a conversation but I was just curious. When you know how to cook, you can talk about things it's not a lie.

So what if you tell a girl you have a date? that won't really matter. you DO know you can date multiply women at the same time right? as long as it's on a casual level.

Also, if you are confident enough, you can say you are in a relationship and then later when you are friends with the girl you can go ahead and lie saying that you broke up with your ex or w/e. Some friends of mines have done this but I don't bother with this strategy. It's not one that I approve of but I know that it works for them.

I don't see how asking for advice on something at a grocery store is bad imo. It's just something to break the ice and ease into a conversation. You don't have to lie or anything you can even say I ****ing suck at cooking but in a humorous way.

Yeah whatever works for ya. I was just surprised it does.

"Also, if you are confident enough, you can say you are in a relationship and then later when you are friends with the girl you can go ahead and lie saying that you broke up with your ex or w/e."

That kind of seems like the opposite of confidence to me. If you're confident enough you wouldn't have to lie.

And the advice part wasn't what I was criticizing; it's fine to start it off like that. It was instead carrying that through to get her number, as in "You give good advice, mind if I get your number to pick your brain some other time."

Confidence and charming enough to pull off a lie I meant. If you aren't charming then they will see right through your lie just like you said earlier women aren't dumb but you can snow them if you are THAT good.

I'm not claiming to be that good.

It looks pretty pathetic tbh. Like that everything a girl says is a secret coded message for something else :P I think some of the earlier onces are often true, but certainly not always, and I think there are a lot more straight talking girls out there that literally just say what they mean!

Even with the straight talking girls though, women tend to think differently so sometimes guys are like "wtf did I do?" and it's just some weird compounded issue that guys have no idea what they did or what happened.

Let me help a bit with that article. Because there is often a reason behind why I say something, but not THAT big of an explanation. It by no means covers all women, especially because I'm a lot more straightforward than a lot of women seem to be, but this is what I would mean if I say these things:

What I say: “Why don’t I take your number and I’ll call you?”
What I mean: You probably wouldn't call me, so I'll try to pursue you first and see if that works out.
Why I say it: I want to take the reins with this one. I want to take some initiative.

What I say: “Oh, sorry, I already have weekend plans.”
What I mean: I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm not trying to hang out with you this weekend.
Why I say it: You've probably done something to annoy me, but not enough for me to tell you to **** off. I'm giving you about one more chance to make things better, and you're done.

What I say: “This feels good, but we really shouldn’t.”
What I mean: "This feels good, but we really shouldn't.
Why I say it: I don't want to do this. You're either making me uncomfortable, we're doing it for the wrong reasons, I'm afraid you're going to think it was a mistake because I'm self-conscious, or I made a mistake and don't want to make another one.

What I say: “So, what have you been up to?”
What I mean: “So, what have you been up to?"
Why I say it: I want to know what you've been up to.
(If for some reason, I WAS mad at you and I'm asking this, it could be to find out why you didn't call. But that's not code, it's common sense. I literally want to know what you've been up to.)

What I say: “If you want to have a guy’s night, go ahead, fine.”
What I mean: "If you want to have a guy's night, go ahead, fine."
Why I say it: Cause I want you to have a guy's night.
(If you've made plans with me and have canceled them to hang out with the guys, you're annoying, and I'm annoyed, and you'll know. I will have MUCH more of an attitude and I will NOT tell you it is fine.

What I say: “So, tell me about Diane.”
What I mean: “If you say something I feel threatened by, I'm going to kick her ass, and then yours.”
Why I say it: Say she's pretty. Say she's really nice. Say she's an awesome cook. It's all fine with me, really. If you for some reason give me an inclination to believe that she is hitting on you, she will realize, first by yourself, and then by me, that you are taken. If you haven't told her, we're over. If you have told her and she's disrespecting me as your girlfriend, get her away from you. If you have told her, she's disrespecting me as your girlfriend, and you let her think that's fine, it's over. Don't ever disrespect me and don't let other girls disrespect me like I'm just some kind of obstacle in the way. I wouldn't let some guy do that to you.
(I'm not some jealous bitch, I just don't like being disrespected and I wouldn't disrespect someone I'm with).

What I say: “I love the way you smell.”
What I mean: “I love the way you smell."
Why I say it: I love the way you smell. When I smell it, it reminds me of you, of nice things, it makes me feel comfortable. If I do happen to love you, and I haven't told you yet, that's fine, but this isn't a clue to me loving you.


It's also all about the tone for me, I make it very obvious for you to know how I'm feeling if I'm pissed off and it's for good reason. Maybe I'm not like a million other girls.

GIRLS: What do you think of my interpretations?
