I wish picking up women was as simple as picking up groceries, said a famous artist. True in the context literally!! But, many people (mostly young men) believe that some people have some inbuilt ability to attract women, and many somehow get retracted. Life is not a game of snakes and ladders, it is about choices. Better choices equals to better chances.

Love, affairs, dates and fates are all governed by a step by step process. Like how Shiv Khera frames it, it is not about doing different things, its about doing things differently.

A step by step guide summarizing the best ways to pick up women is discussed below:

- View women as a friend, not as a target or a goal or something. Is it tough to hang out with your pals? No!! If you have the same conviction, winning the first hurdle is easy.
- Be slow, not like a snail, but like a man of definite actions. Asking questions like will you come for a movie, should pop out a bit later, when you both become good pals.
- Sending love letters at the start itself is not a good idea, but talking with her over the phone works well if you find it hard to express yourself in person.
- Smiling is easy!! Make sure you greet her with a smile whenever you meet her.
- Having a decent sense of humor always helps. Most women will prefer a guy with humor than a guy with an Aston Martin. But, that doesnt mean you start practicing jokes at home. Make the conversation look real!!
- Do you have a boyfriend? is the worst way to check your chances. Instead try things wherein she has no option but to answer. It might be something like: Oh! You are late; you can ask your boyfriend to pick you up. This way, you will get to know if she is single, and she wont even get bad vibes.
- It is said that many women who say that they have a boyfriend do so, to avoid unwanted attention. It is her way of saying not interested. But, there are women who have a boyfriend when they say so. So, what the deal? To get the signals, observe her body language and eye contact. If something is messy, her body language and eye contact will prove it.
- Avoid sensitive topics like religion, caste, sex, ex-partners, politics etc. Leave these things for some other day.
- Have conviction in your voice, eyes and conversations.
- If you feel that she isnt replying or giving out alarms that she isnt much interested, it is better to keep quiet for that moment. Look for another opportunity and roll the dice again with a smile.
- Be positive, avoid being pessimistic and talking about failures and depression laced topics. Try talking more about latest movies or some other funny incidents.
- Show her a slice of your class and character. Etiquettes work in every situation, apart from an emergency.

Lastly, you have to understand that life is a game. You should take your chances; you just never know where you would end up.
