• The funny nickname

• And I said that "I have some funny stuff to tell you".

This is enough to make anyone call you back. Not every message has to be this dramatic, but when you're just getting to know someone, and especially if it's a beautiful girl who has lots of choices when it comes to men, you want to put your best effort into everything you do.

One last thing. Make sure you print this out and read it before you call a girl for the first time. It will help put you in the right frame of mind before you call.
Why You Should Never Try To "Close The Deal"

When you talk to women, what is your main goal? In other words, what do you want to get out of the conversation? How do you want it to end?
For most guys, the main goal is to get the woman's phone number. Some people call this "closing the deal" or "number closing". But the concept of closing the deal doesn't just apply to the initial conversation... people are also shooting for this end result in the later stages.

Let' say you're on a first or second date with a girl... what is your main goal now? Well for most men, the goal is to once again close the deal, or get her into bed. I think that the whole mentality of closing the deal is what screws up a lot of guys, and actually stops them from getting anywhere with the girl.

What I want you to ask yourself is this:

What's the difference between closing the deal, and getting to the next step with a girl?

Think about it. What happens after you get a girl's phone number? You've achieved success in your eyes, and you've number closed her... but now what? Now you have to start from square one again, and try to get her interested in you over the phone so she'll agree to a first date with you.

I used to do this all the time, and wonder why I couldn't get to the next step with women. Then I realized that I needed to change my initial goal from getting the "close" to setting her up for the next step.

If you're talking to a girl, and you end the conversation with, "So can I get your phone number." or "Hey, give me your number."... it feels final. It feels to her like the only reason you're talking to her in the first place is just to get her number, not to actually get to know her.
