Example:

You: What's your name
Her: Sarah
You: (Pause, look her over, then look her in the eye) I don't believe you...
Her: (Shocked and sort of Laughing) Whaat? Whyyy?

About half the time that gets me an immediate fake-punch from the girl, which is an obvious flirting move. In her head there's kind of a "who IS this guy?" going on.

Then you tell her that she "doesn't look like a ______" (whatever her name is)

If it went well, she then starts immediately qualifying herself about how she totally matches up with her name. Make up some bullshit about people who don't look like their names, ramble ramble ramble. As you talk to her more, hint that you are coming around to believing her but still aren't sure. Act like your wary of her scamming you somehow. Or tell her about some girls you know who use a "bar name". Or tell her how you use a fake name sometimes. She'll probably want to know more about that.

You need to have the right vibe, and a very solid frame at the point of saying "I don't believe you", to pull it off. Otherwise you can look weird. But don't think about failure.

If you're shaking hands upon meeting or being introduced (btw, I hate shaking hands with girls but it just seems to be what people do nowdays so I go along), hold her hand while you look her over, then in the eye and tell her you don't believe her name.

If she doesn't react in a fun manner, then just forget about it and change the subject, or gracefully exit.

I use this sometimes. In general it works pretty well and it's a great way to start a conversation in a flirtious way.

On approach, I usually ask a chick her name and then pretend I didn't hear her. I'll call her something else close to it and say that's a nice name, it suits you. When she corrects me I say 'oh, well fakenameIgaveher is way easier to remember and much cooler' If she's not a stuck up bitch she'll laugh and you can continue to game.

Generally speaking though, you really shouldn't believe much of anything a chick has to say...

Using the same name with multiple girls means you don't even have to worry about remembering their names during sex.

Also, that^

I vaguely recall saying something along the lines of this and it went great:

Me: "[..]well anyway what's your name?"
Her: "[insert some name - I think it was maybe Melissa or Melinda or something]"
Me: "Nono, your real name, not your stripper name"
Her: "What?! I'm not a stripper!!"
Me: "Oh. You're not? Well there goes my cool story for the night.."

She seemed intrigued by the fact that men want to fuck strippers, and wanted to prove she was better than a stripper. Got cockblocked by her friends pulling her away and into a cab mid sentence. Was my only warm lead that night iirc as well );

I like it. Definitely starts things off on the right footstep which is very important. I'll give this a try next time I go out.

We should always have some default flirty responses to the basic things girls are going to ask.

"What do you do? Where do you live? Where are your friends? What's YOUR name? Where did you go to school?"

This is interesting as a neg. After reading BANG, a while back, I had generally avoided asking the girl's name, even if negging, because it was huge qualifier of interest in me if she asked my name first... and this sorta kills that as as possibility.

Actually, I'd say once a girl asks me my name because I've drawn interest, I usually have a better than 50% chance of getting a number, date, etc. after she asks. I do sometimes more often tend to ask girls their names during daytime approaches.

If idled back, this might work real well day gaming... easy to execute no less.

What is the line between a neg being high value and it being insulting to her.

Eg. There is this girl I was talking to, it was kind of like a group setting with a few other people and the topic turned to sports. She was saying that she played netball. And I was asking the name of the club she was playing. She replied and I commented that the name was quite a mouthfull.

Would you think that she might have taken that as an insult? She said she had to to go but came back several minutes later.

To me, it looks like a common observation because the name was really long.

Thanks for your opinions.

A variation I stumbled upon a long time ago is this:

Her: My name is Gina.
Me: You don't look like a Gina. silence
Her: lizard brain in overdrive, attraction spiking, etc etc.

Her: I'm studying to X.
Me: Ah that's cool. You're actually not as stupid as you look then.

I think it all comes down to wheter she thinks you said it being serious or if she could see that you were joking about her in a lighthearted way.

In general that comes down to your facial expressions, your previous conversation with her (if it had a very serious vibe or not) and your voice tonality. If your unsure if she took it in the wrong way it's best to just smile and say that you were joking and give her a . ¨
But in your case I can't see why she would have taken that as an insult.

I think most guys starting from scratch aren't so good at this but with time you learn to become more calibrated.

It looks like throwing negs is a balancing act. You open a girl for a very first time and you tease her on something that she says that she likes for example. You are not calibrated with that girl too well because you dont know her too well. She might be into you and might have said something that might be close to her. So, negging that might diminish the rapport and make her believe that there was no attraction. But negging might work on something that she does not care about that much so its obviously difficult to know which is which without spending quite some time with her.

But its of course easier to know what are the topics to neg her on once you start dating her but by then she is already kind of invested in you so there might not be a pressing need to create attraction through negs anymore.

I would use something a lot nicer but equally as good. "You're a lot smarter than you look"

Anyone have any new techniques or methods they like to use when teasing a new prospect?

I personally haven't executed this kind of approach/opener, well. In the past when I have tried it, I usually fall flat on my face and receive 'suspicious' looks. Granted, I used this approach/opener in a public space (mall/grocery store), and the only time I have truly succeeded with this is when I'm at a private party or gathering.

I think another thing that does work well if you can execute it right, is making it appear as though you both have a lot of "history" together. You'll have an almost immediate connection and she'll fawn over you like she's known you her whole life.
