See...you know how to react to those situations. For some reason my mind just goes blank. Like a fukking dialtone just ringing in my head and I'm standing there like a goddamn idiot.

I gotta keep what you said on auto-play in my head.
Make that my primary response to every situation...
Thank you breh!
The thing is you approaching chicks with the mindset that you wanna smash. From what it seems, you ain't genuinely interested in getting to know every chick you approach.. you just doing the numbers game.
With me I like meeting new people and learning about them, what they are about etc.. so I naturally ask questions. And based off the answers they give you, ask more questions.
Example:
guy: So where you from?
girl: random state like Chicago.
guy: Oh word? You live there your whole life or what?
girl: No, I originally grew up in Atlanta but my family moved to Chicago when I was 13.
guy: Oh okay cool. Which do you like better, Chicago or Atlanta?
girl: Atlanta because.. blah blah blah
The convo above can literally happy in 8 seconds. That's a lot you can talk about in 5 minutes and then get the digits.
