Well I also post on this pick up forum where many people have met e in real life

No I haven't picked up any women yet but I have exchanged contact details with a few. I have also had hundreds of interactions with women over the years and try to talk to at east one woman a day. I am an expert on pick up arts though and can explain pick up in great detail.
1)Before you go out on the pull dress well and shower get a good hair cut polish your shoes etc. Also remember you should be prepared to pull at all times as you could spot a beautiful girl at the local bus stop or in the street.
2)Never approach the target head on always approach at an angle and leave a gap so as not to invade their space. And hold and maintain eye contact during the approach and interaction. Also aproach within three seconds of seeing her so it doesn't looking like you are staking her out.
3)If there are two or more girls open her friends first. Once you have befriended her friends its much easier to befriend her.
4)Use false time contraints and indirect openers such as: "Excuse me I am just on my way to meet some friends and can't stay long but I just need a quick female opinion on something..........." Then when you get your answer quickly change the subject and keep her talking.
5)When in conversation with a woman don't lean in, gesture with your arms and touch her lightly on the arm or back at key emotional points in the conversation such as when you mention something dramatic ie "and it was awsome" gentle touch.
6)Don't ask lots of questions one after the other instead ask just a few and try to expand on them. Try to find a common connection between you and the woman.
7)Break rapport during the interaction ie disagree with her on one or two points to not make it look like you are sucking up to her just to get off with her. Also don't compliment her on her looks. Ask her to tell you something she has achieved then compliment her on that. ie get her to qualify herself to you.

Look for indicators of interest from her such as whether see holds eye contact with you for long periods whether she squeezes your hand when you offer to shake hers.
9)At the end of the interaction don't ask for her phone number say something like; "it was really nice talking to you I would like to see you again sometime in the future what is the best way of getting in touch with you". Or suggest you both go somewhere else for a drink or to do something together ie go on an instant date. Then exchange contact details at the end of that.
10)Direct approaches. Sometimes it is not possible to do long indirect approaches as there is just not the time ie you suddenly spot a really hot girl in the street walking in the opposite direction to you. In that case you must move fast and because approaching is better that not approaching even if your chances of getting her are extremely low make an approach like this:
Walk after her then walk slightly infront turn and say something like; "Excuse me, I know this seems a bit random but I was just on my way somewhere to meet some friends when I spotted you back there and thought you were so nice and cute that I just had to come and speak to you or else I would be kicking myself all day." This has a very low success rate but is better than ignoring a really hot girl. If she is doing something like window shopping a situational pre-opener can be used first before going direct which increases the chances of success slightly.
