How To Pick Up Women - Ask
Open Questions
By

A good way to continue a conversation
and increase your chances of actually picking up a girl is to avoid
asking closed questions. These are basically questions that result in a
yes / no answer.
An example of a yes / no question is
the cliché “Do you come here often?” Now if the girl in question even
bothers to answer you on this one then the answer is going to be either
“yes” or “no”.
End of conversation and you are left
floundering around for something else to say.
To which you might come up with
another classic like “Do you live around here?” And, well you can see
where this is going.
Instead, you should aim for open-ended
questions that force the listener to give more than just a simple
answer.
These begin with the words, what,
where, when, who or how and are sometimes known as information questions
because the person answering has to provide some relevant information
rather than just confirming or denying a statement.
If you ask, “Where did you get those
sunglasses?” or “Where do you go to school?” then the girl in question
has to give up some information and continue the conversation.
And you will also have more
information about her and ammunition to keep talking and eventually get
round to getting her number.
Now you know what an open-ended
question is, I can backtrack a little and say closed questions are okay
as long as you have open-ended questions to back them up with. They are
actually a very natural way to start a conversation.
For example, you see a girl on a train
platform fidgeting and looking at her watch, you ask, “Are you late?” to
which she replies, “Yes, I am.”
And so you fire in with “Where are you
going?” and from the answer to that (work, see a friend, dentist, yoga
etc) you should have a couple more directions in which the conversation
could go.
