Response?

[Lummers]

How would you guys go about responding to someone saying:

'This is really wierd...'
'This is so wierd.'
'Seriously, I think this is wierd.'

And:

'Do you do this often then, go up to girls on the street?'


These questions left me a bit stumped previously. My answers could have been better.

I have no idea, but I've never had it happen. I can't speak from experience but I'd ignore it and just move onto something else... maybe "Don't worry I'm not going to rob you."

But others will probably come up with something better.

I just admit that I have done it but only if I feel compelled to do so because I think the girl is beautiful. I've rarely, if ever, been asked about this though...

Never had that either, but usually I sort of say it before they might. I thought about a response I might give and came up with "What?! Are you not approached on the street all the time? THAT is weird. So anyway..."

As for the second one I (honestly) say "Just the pretty ones." Made a joke about it a few times "Ow, so you're the jealous type, are you? ..." which apparently offends some of them (lol!) but then again filters out the ones with my kind of humor.

They might be a bit confused by the approach as no guys really do that especially if you're going direct. At first i even had a few girls ask "Who has put you up to this?" They just cant understand or believe how a handsome, charming, confident guy can approach them on the street like it isnt a big deal- its just not part of their reality.

So before it can get to that point, and like I explained in another one of you're threads, I like to talk about the approach itself. I will ask them if it has happened to them before and then i will explain something along the lines of- "I know it is completely random but these days guys will wait until they are in a bar or club environment, get drunk for their confidence, then come up to speak to you. Whats the point in that? Life is short and i feel as though if you see someone you like you should just say hi ".

Thats something i will do in every approach now within the first 5 minutes because after this point they really understand that you are being completely genuine and after that they usually cant keep the smile off their face

If you're getting those responses you should probably tweak your game up until that point (ie. what youre saying OR how you say it).

However, if you already got those responses, I would recommend just making a joke out of it, or ignoring it. I would probably just say, "Thank you  " and move on.

Worst thing you can do is act offended by it... then you actually look weird.
