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."
