That's it. Why is this a better strategy? Because if you set up the date
first then she has a reason to give you her number. In addition, setting up
the date before asking for her phone number lets you know if this woman
is interested in meeting up; if she is not interested she'll ignore the
request or simply say she is busy, in which case you have to go back to
building attraction and value.
That all said, here are the finer details:
The Seven Steps to Seeding a Date
- Field research: Find a few place you'd enjoy taking a date:
This happens before you go out to meet women. After all, if you
want to take a woman on a date, you should know a cool place to check
out with her. The more you know about what's happening in your city –
from art festivals, to cooking classes or wine tastings – the more social,
hip and worldly you will appear. Do your research, then get out there and
explore.
Exploration can be its own fun adventure. Bring friends; the side
effect is that if you were the kind of person that didn’t get out much, your
friends will begin to see you also in a new light. The places can be
anywhere from a cocktail lounge to a park that you think you’d enjoy
visiting.
In the end, what’s going to matter is that the place has special
meaning to you. In other words, it has to reflect some part of your
identity. After a night of exploration, ask yourself a few questions:
- What did I like about the place I visited?
- Are there any stories I can tell about the place itself?
- Was there anything about the place that triggered a memory or
sparked an idea?
