Opening Girls Who Are On The Phone

Zardoz over on mASF had a question about how to open girls who were on their cell phone…

Cellphones are the bane of the PUA. I want to know how you all deal with this issue.

As I see it, there are two situations in which cells hinder a sarge,

1: You can’t make an approach because the target is on the phone.

2: You have intitiated the seduction, then her phone rings and she opens it up and starts yacking.

Well?

Some dude named Cinder had a pretty nice reply…

Personally what I do for phones is the same
that I do with if they stop to do anything other than listen to what I
say: a mini-freezeout via stopping what I’m talking about mid-sentence.
So if she gets a call, I’ll stop and say "you can take that" OR if she
reaches for it, I’ll just stop the thread mid conversation (my personal
favorite). The trick with this one though is that if she says "go
ahead, I’m listening", then to treat it like nothing is happening and
to talk and carry on the thread as usual because *she IS investing into
the interaction like I am*.

Oh yeah, I wouldn’t suggest to walk off.  The set is definitely still good.  Hell, every set is always still good, let alone these instances.

Opening a girl who is on the cell phone is NOT A BIG DEAL AT ALL.
Anyone can do it with success. I vividly remember multiple times *early
in my pua
career where I’d open a girl, and she would just stop and say on the
phone "let me call you back" and quickly hang up on the person. I think
the trick is, just after you get her attracted
or pass the hook point, ask her "are you talking to someone or
something?". I’ve opened plenty of girls on cell phones before. It’s no
different. It’s seriously all there for looks… like she THINKS this
will stop guys from talking to her. In all reality, she probably is
holding it up because SHE’LL ACTUALLY STOP AND TALK IF SOMEONE TRIES TO
OPEN HER.. haha, and this is her defense.

I think that’s a pretty good strategy over-all.  Don’t let phones intimidate you.  The girl can always call the person they’re talking to back.  =)
