Takeaways involve getting her really into something you’re saying or doing, and then literally taking it away. Say she’s laughing and enjoying herself with you and you unexpectedly say "I have to go see my friends, I’ll be back in a few minutes". That’s a takeaway. You show open and receptive body language to her while you talk, then lean back and cross your arms unexpectedly, or turn your back on her to focus on a distraction. That’s a takeaway. This is the idea behind ending interactions first, and on a positive note. As the saying goes, ALWAYS LEAVE THEM WANTING MORE.

Takeaways can be used as a system of reward and punishment as well. Reward positive behavior by giving her value and attention, punish negative behavior by taking it away.

Open loops are similar to takeaways, but involve leaving something unresolved. An example of an open loop would be telling a woman, "I’ve been meaning to tell you something all night. I think you’re…Hold on, I think I just saw someone I know, I’ll be right back." OR as she’s talking just interrupt with "You know, I just realized something about you." When she says "What?" say "….I’ll tell you later." And just smile. Resist her attempts to pry it out of you and change the subject. Another example of an open loop would be calling a woman’s answering machine and leaving the following partial message: "Hi HB, I have the funniest story to tell you about last night! It all started when this bum came up to me on the street. And then he held up this cat that only had 3 legs…Anyway, call me". Another open loop example: When you see she’s getting involved and really interested in some idea or story you’re telling, change the subject with no warning.

The whole purpose behind an open loop is to get the HB interested in the outcome, then avoid disclosing it. Just like you stay and watch a shitty show just to see how it ends, people will listen to your shitty story just to see how it ends. If the conclusion is withheld they’ll feel a bit cheated, and may want to hear it to the point of a minor obsession. This is why soap operas have hooked women for decades; the shows never truly conclude, and always end with open loops. Open loops cause frustration, and the person will then crave emotional relief. By withholding that relief you build up tension.

Here are some more examples of open loops:

"SOMETHING ABOUT YOU" OPEN LOOPS While telling a woman a story, say something like: "I bet you like attention", or "I bet you were a daddy's girl" Then resume your story. Now if you’ve peaked her interest, she’ll interrupt you. If you haven't, just keep making comments like this until she takes the bait. When she takes the bait, she’ll be thinking to herself, "What does he mean by that?" (This is great because it gets them interested on an EMOTIONAL level). She’ll interrupt you with, "What do you mean by that?"

Retort with something like "Didn't your mom teach you any manners? It’s rude to interrupt someone while they’re talking. But I know this because you remind me of my...well I will tell you later" and then resume telling the rest of your story.

"SHE WANTS TO TELL YOU SOMETHING INTERESTING" OPEN LOOPS When she tells you she has something interesting/exciting/etc to tell you, say "I’m busy right now but that sounds interesting, why don’t you tell me when we get together?"

NUMERICAL OPEN LOOPS "There are 3 things I look for in a woman". Then only tell her two!

SILENCE OPEN LOOPS When she’s trying to explain or justify something, be silent and unexpressive. She’ll wonder if you agree with her or not and try harder to explain herself.

GETTING HER TO SAY "WHAT" OPEN LOOPS Say "you’re such a girl" and when she says "What? What is it?" just smile and change the subject or look away.
