This is all great advice. I’d add one from my experience: Women get turned on by a guy not obviously coming on to her (exceptions would be if you’ve met at a pick-up bar or you handed money to her or her “manager” before you started talking). Talk with a woman about something relevant — gym excercises in the gym for example — out of clear interest in the subject and her opinion. Ask for nothing more than her name. Leave it at that. You’ll have a much better chance of learning her hip abductor flexibility sometime in the future if she doesn’t have the feeling you’re going to stick your hand down her leotard after five minutes of ogling her doing goblet squats.
