edit: Thanks to bouffon for pointing out, that this tactic only works when you and the person you have in mind are at “hooking point”, which means that you two are at least basic friends. This tactic would not work really well with complete strangers.
Understanding The Principle
Here’s a tactic that i have found was very useful to successfully persuade both men and women to do what you want. It works by helping them assume that they have already made a decision in my favour and all that’s left is in which way they would want to carry out that favour. Below is an example of how this works.
Assuming i have a female friend that i do fancy and wish to ask out on a date. This is the way i would not ask her out on a movie date, “Hey, do you want to catch a movie with me this weekend?” , that works sometimes, but not all the time.
Instead, i ask them, “so, we could EITHER catch new moon OR avatar this weekend, which shall it be?” (of course i don’t bold and CAPS the words either and or). This method, my friend, works like an absolute charm. In fact, i got my friends to do a little experiment with this method and found out that they get a better response around 4 times more with this method. Here’s how this method works:
Using the second method, you have already helped your male / female friend make the decision whether to go out with you on a movie date or not, and they don’t have the option to say “no”. All they’re left with are options to go to either one movie or the other with you, which assuming you’re not extremely detested by him / her, would usually help ease them into the decision to agree to go out with you. This tactic can be used from the asking out of a movie date to which restaurant they’d like to eat in and many countless other options.
Got any opinions? Feel free to give your 2 cents! I read through every comment and even a short anonymous comment would go a long way to helping improve this blog post. (:
