Ok faggot, here's a tip, awkwardly initiating conversation will never, EVER, work. You'll get denied 999/1000 and be more and more depressed every time.
You can get away with it on Tinder or some other dating app where it's expected, but in real life here's the only way to reliably pick up women in public if you're not Le 6 ft tall blonde football player with confidence leaking from every orifice Chad.
>1. They have to show interest in you, you mong.
That means looking at you, dancing with/on you, coming up to sit next to you, etc. They won't fucking talk to you first so take a hint and say hello after you notice they're interested. Ask them where they're from if you're traveling, who they're with, what they do, get them talking about themselves first. That's more important than asking right away for their name. I went to a pool party last weekend at a bath house and you wanna know how I figured out how women were interested in me?
They commented on my tattoo, mainly. Only one was vapid enough to Only care about my body right away. Make yourself interesting enough for people to want to get to know you.
Dress well, get ripped, and have a tattoo or something that's different and special to you but still looks aesthetic. obviously you don't have to do all or even any of this, but the general idea is make yourself interesting and people will be interested in you.
>Step 2. Stop talking about yourself.
Ask questions that get them talking. Only talk about yourself if directly asked a question, then finish with another question to keep them talking. People want to be heard. Letting a woman who's interested in you talk is more important than pointlessly trying to impress her at this point, but don't be rude by any means.
>Step 3. Ask if they have a boyfriend.
This is so fucking easy, after she's talked your ear off for 5-10 minutes to a chorus of your "Oh my god of course, yeah, uh huh." Just ask her if she has a boyfriend.
