Secrets to Getting Girls: Don't Let Her Go
There’s a variety of reasons why women walk away from a conversation. Could be they’re bored. Could be they’re feeling uncomfortable. Could be they don’t think you like them or that you’re making fun of them too much or too hard. Could be their friends are pressuring them to go.
But whatever the reason, it’s in your best interest NOT to let them leave. They eject, leave, and walk away, and chances are you will never see them again. So yes, you can let them go, and tell yourself, “Well, I didn’t like that girl all that much anyway,” or, “No worries, there are plenty of fish in the sea.”
OR, you can put up a fight, and do what needs to be done to get her to stay. A guy who’s even somewhat seasoned can use the extra two, five, or ten minutes he gets from stopping an ejecting girl to turn things around, get her investing more, and get her feeling differently about him than she was before. If you do things right, you can correct all kinds of issues.
That’s what this post is about. Stopping women from ejecting. Getting them to stay. Giving yourself that second chance after you’ve messed things up because hey, we all do. Nobody shoots a hole-in-one every time he tees off.
So, that said, here are some tools you can use to stop them in their tracks and get them sticking around. Keep in mind that stopping them from leaving and getting them to stay is, in fact, getting a pretty big chunk of compliance out of them too, which does all kinds of good things for your cause. Let’s take a look.
Take Her Idea and Make It Yours
When she goes to leave, adopt her idea and make it yours. You’re then free to modify it to your liking.
A few weeks ago, I was hanging with a buddy and a couple of girls we’d just met out on a dance floor. The girl I was talking to said, “Well, we’re going to go,” and started turning to leave.
I said, “Yeah, it’s way too loud in here. Let’s go outside.” I then had her take my arm, and led her outside and down the stairs to a lounge right next door. Her friend and my friend followed behind us. We ended up spending the next twenty minutes together before I had to run, and she was flirting like crazy.
You can do this with all kinds of situations. Just always be sure to interpret her ejecting as being something about the situation or the circumstances, not about you.
For instance, if she says, “We’re going to go get a drink,” you can say, “Yeah, I’m parched. Let’s hit the bar.” If you meet her at the mall or a grocery store and she says, “Well, I should finish my shopping,” you can say, “Oh right, how horrible of me. Here I am distracting you from your mission. Let’s get to shopping,” and then start walking with her.
The REAL fun comes in when you decide to first agree with her plan, and then take her off course. For instance:
Girl: I have to go to the bathroom.
You: Tell me about it. These drinks are catching up to me. Let’s go. [you start walking but, along the way] Wait, hold up a second. Come here for one minute. [draw her over to a bar, a corner, etc., and build compliance and get her laughing so that she no longer is trying to leave]
Tell Her to Stay For a Few Minutes
When she gets up to go, tell her to stay for a few minutes – two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, whatever you need to say to get her to change her mind and rejoin you. i.e.:
Girl: [standing] Well, I’m going to go.
You: Stay for two minutes. I have something I really have to show you before you leave.
Girl: I really have to go.
You: We won’t be long. Two minutes and then you can go.
Girl: I can't.
You: Stay for two minutes, that's it. If I don't let you go in two minutes, you can kick me in the shin, ok? Now, sit.
Girl: Haha, ok.
Push for it a few times and she usually will stay (if you push hard enough, it's amazing how effective this is), and it will likely be for a lot longer than two minutes (provided you get everything back on course). If she goes to get up again, just repeat the same process again. You can even say the same exact thing you said earlier to get her to sit down, and oftentimes it will work. Feel free to grab her hand and firmly lead her (for more advanced guys; beginners, be careful with this and err on the side of making sure you're not forcing her into anything or making her feel cornered -- she has to WANT to join you).
Differ With Her
If she declares she’s going to go across the street to ABC Bar, you just say, “No, stay here / come with me. [whatever you’re doing] is about 8000 times more fun than ABC Bar. THIS is where the party is. Stay here / come here.” Then just keep insisting and giving her commands until she complies.
If she tries telling you she really has to do something, just differ with her, i.e.:
Girl: I really do have to go.
You: No you don't. You need to stop and do something fun for a change, that's what you need to do.
Girl: I wish I could.
You: You can. Come with me, my lady. [hold out your hand]
Girl: I can't!
You: Yes you can. Look how easy it is. Just come this way.
Girl: I can't! haha
You: Take my hand and all your troubles will fade away.
Keep persisting like this (with a smile on your face!) and she more likely than not will take your hand and accompany you.
Once you get girls to change their minds and stick with you, the toughest part is done, and those girls who had been about to leave you now have a brand new shot with.
Now, all you need to do is convince them to STAY with you ;)
Have fun gentlemen,

some doubts
Great blog, but there's something confusing me about this article:
I've read this entry right after the one which says "keep your cool: don't chase women" and I don't get it... hanging on to women when it's clear they want to escape and have had enough of you, is it not like you're chasing them?
Telling(begging?) them not to leave for two minutes more, is it not like being somewhat needy?
Also “Well, we’re going to go,” “Yeah, it’s way too loud in here. Let’s go outside.”; following her around when it's clear she wants to move away from you, is it not like chasing her around and possibly making a fool of yourself? If she's "going to go" and didn't invite you to follow her, then should you really? If that was her escape and you're ruining it by following her, she's soon gonna see you as a nuisance and as that guy you really can't get rid of, no matter how you tell him you've got to the ladie's room.
Is it not contradictory to both the abundance mindset and chasing kills attraction topic?
Of course you suggest she is escaping from the situation (loud music?) not from you. But if she really were to not like the situation but still likes you, I think she would be a little more warm and inviting than "well, we're gonna go get drinks now, see ya". She might have said something more like "oh time for some drinks, we're gonna go over there, you wanna join us?". To me that sounds more like a girl who wants to change situation but wants to keep you.
Of course I'm no expert here, I'm just trying to make sense of it all and trying to understand something which sounds contradictory to me.
I understand that some persistence is necessary and may pay off since you won't be the guy who gets discouranged that easily; but on the other hand why then, in "don't chase women" it isn't reasonable to be persistent in other cirtumstances, like dating? I mean if you're the one who keeps instisting that she stays two more minutes, you could also be the guy who keeps trying to get her in bed even though it didn't happen by second date. Why is it that different?
I'd be more than happy to have someone explain me what am I missing here.
cheers
This isn't chasing
You should take into account the girl's possible insecurity in the situation and the dynamics of personality.
Some girls like to leave on a high note or are afraid they might make or already have a fool of themselves, just as much as men are known to do. In other cases some aren't assertive or at a level of social awareness to even think of inviting you when they're leaving. And of course there are the women who are tired of doing all the work and are looking for dominance.
This is a catch all for those types of women. Its about being warm and inviting, yet dominantly communicating "Hey you don't have to duck out like that, I still like you, lets keep this going"
If you're being observant of her body language and looking out for attraction signals you'll know if you're wasting your time with the exercise or not
I can honestly say I hate it
I can honestly say I hate it when I have to go, and a guy will try and keep me around for a bit longer.
If I have to go, it means I have other places to be, regardless of how much I like talking to the guy in question. I've slotted a specific amount of time for him, and his whining is only making him look clingy. I'll stick around -once- to appease the guy, but it generally makes me more annoyed than attracted to him on a whole.
You had better have some DAMN good reason to keep me around if you're telling me to put my life on hold for another few minutes for you. And that's yet to be the case.
I agree with Jul.
It is contradicting and a bit confusing. While Chase does say in the article that you should make sure she's leaving because of the situation and not you, I think that it would be pretty tough to change things with this little 'overtime' you've bought yourself. Eliek02 made some good points, but those situations seem more like the exception to the rule, than the rule.
It doesn't seem alpha to me to try to make a girl stay longer. In fact, I would almost never try, out of general principle. I'm a man and I don't need this woman to stay with me and keep me company. I can just go find another. She's the one missing out. Is this the wrong mentality?
I can only really see this working if your game is completely on point and you're operating especially smooth that night. But then again, she wouldn't have been leaving if your game was on, right?
On telling women to stay...
Depends on your time horizons here, fellas.
What happens is most guys don't persist in the short term with women they're never going to see again, and let those women vanish into the night, but DO persist in the LONG term, to the effect of handing women they're seeing continuously all the cards. That's exactly the opposite of what they should be doing to get maximum results with women.
Think of it like this: in the short term, you're effectively a door-to-door salesman who's never going to cover the same territory twice. That is, when you're talking about getting together with a girl you'll never see again, if you give up with a door shut in your face, then you've lost a sale. The salesman who performs finds a way to not get the door shut and instead closes the sale.
Over the long term, you're more like a luxury goods salesperson at a retail location. Buyers are going to come in multiple times, and the moment you chase, you cheapen the brand.
Telling a woman to come with you doesn't always work in the short term. But it produces much better outcomes than accepting her decision when her decision is that the door is shut.
As Robin notes, a girl might not LIKE it if you tell her to stay when she said she was going to go - but if you're never going to see her again, and she's about to leave, and you DO like her, you'd better to whatever you can to up your chances. This has nothing to do with abundance mentality - it has to do with efficiency. It takes three seconds to tell a girl, "Sit with me for five more minutes, then you can go," yet it can very well make the difference in how your night ends (e.g., alone with her, rather than looking for someone else instead and starting over from scratch).
