The Wingman
We should also discuss whether you're alone or with friends. Approaching women with a friend has its advantages, especially if she's with friends. Your friend can act as your "wingman" and keep her friends busy while you focus your attention on the woman you really like. But if there's just one woman, approaching with your friend might be a bit odd. Depends on your friend.
If he understands his role, he can help. But if he’s hitting on the woman you're interested in, that is not good. Or if he's insulting you, that's not good either. A good wingman only says positive things about you, and you about him. You build each other up. He does your bragging for you.
If you have a friend who is interested in meeting new women with you, take him along and see how he does. Is he a help or a hindrance? I'd suggest having him read this book first so you're both "on the same page." Yes, not only did I just make a bad pun, but I put it in quotes to make sure you didn't miss it. I am truly shameless. Let's move on.
If you prefer to go it alone, that's fine.
Ultimately you are going to have to talk to this woman by yourself, so don't use a friend as a crutch. Do what works, but don't become dependant on having a friend come along. If you're alone and you see someone you want to meet, go for it. The worst that can happen is you learn more and develop your skills more. That's not too bad when you think about it.
Night Game versus Day Game
Day Game generally means meeting women wherever you happen to be during the day, or going to places you hope to meet women during the day. Most of the examples in this book focus on day game. Why?
Because most of us have jobs or school, and see beautiful women we'd like to meet during the day.
That's valuable time for practicing and learning, and hopefully meeting great women.
That said, some guys just feel more comfortable practicing in bars and clubs. Going out at night to meet women is Night Game. Pretty much everything in this book applies equally well to Night Game, but there are a few additional considerations. First, most clubs and bars are noisy. It might be harder to have a conversation. Having a deep connected conversation can be even harder still. Bars and clubs are an environment where techniques like canned openers and cocky and funny are likely to shine. Once you get passed the opener, you'll need to build enough of a connection that you can eventually go somewhere more private with her. One canned approach to this is asking the following 3 questions to elicit her core values:
