Step1
Select the girl. You've probably got somebody in mind, but hold your horses. Think about it really. Think about her likes and dislikes. Think about what she'll be like in ten years. Think about her family. These are far more important than what she looks like right now. Once you're set, move on to Step 2.
Step2
DO NOT APPROACH HER DIRECTLY. This is the cardinal rule of the Anaconda Method. You can't go up to the girl and ask her out. You won't ask her out until you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she will say yes.
Step3
Make friends with her friends. Buddy up to her buddies. Don't do it so much that you give the friends the wrong idea, but do it enough to get your name mentioned in conversation. In Hollywood, they call it creating a buzz.
Step4
Get invited by her friends to a party or something where the girl will be. When you're there say very little to her if you have to say anything at all. But be near enough to her that she will recognize you later.
Step5
An anaconda is an opportunist. It doesn't hunt down its prey. It lies in wait. You must do the same. Position yourself in places you know she'll be. Don't do something creepy like hang out in her apartment complex. Do hang out in the coffee shop she frequents. When she sees you she may come over and say something. If not, you can go over to her and say "Aren't you so-and-so's friend?" But do not push it. Wait for a clear shot. If she leaves and you say nothing, it's not a loss. Come back again.
Step6
Make the connection. Eventually you will talk. Say something witty. Look for things that put her at ease, things that make her laugh. Don't try too hard. Relax or at least appear relaxed. When you touch on something that she cares deeply about, push in. Let her open up to you. Leave before you've overstayed your welcome. Come up with something to do.
Step7
After a few of these heart-to-heart type conversations, step up your game. Ask her to do something, you know as friends. But make sure that the two of you are going to be spending the bulk of the time together.
Step8
Rely on her friends to help you. They're your friends too. Chances are they'll push her to look at you as more than a friend. As long as she doesn't push back too hard, you're well on your way to winning her.
Step9
This process may take a few weeks or even a few months. Have patience. The moment you hurry is the moment she walks away.
Step10
When you are certain that she's keen on you, strike. The great thing about the Anaconda Method is that you've already built in things to talk about. You don't have to go through that awkward stage of getting to know each other.
Step11
Never stop wooing her. Throughout the rest of your life endeavor to win her daily.
Step12
What if the girl never goes for you? Someone else will come along. This time you'll be better at the method. And this time she may even be better.

on 12/28/2007 I think it is great! Honestly this would be the only way a guy would get me to date him. I am divorced and had a horrible experience. But maybe I'm just one of a few.

on 12/21/2007 Point noted, Lotus. What you say certainly makes sense. I, however, stick to my guns. The whole thing about this approach is that you risk friendship with a move into relationship. It's not meant for a few months or even a few years. This is a full time forever kind of commitment. But if you are well prepared, i.e. if you know the person well enough, friendship and relationship coexist beautifully. This is what I did to meet my wife. So, at least in my case, it works quite well.

on 12/21/2007 I dissagree with this Method. Let me say that from a women's point of view most women are flattered when a nice guy makes it known that he is interested. It is also much easier to go on a date with a person you have only met once or twice than it is with someone you've spent that last few months becoming close friends with. There is the pressure of "If this goes badly it could ruin the friendship," and then there's the awkward transition from friends to dating. It becomes very complicated. When I talk to my friends the number one complaint about guys is the fact that they don't have the guts to just ask a girl out! So trust me, be the pursuer, in a gentleman like way and the odds are in your favor!!!
