A social booby trap, usually set on purpose by a host intent on making sure you're available for their lame or otherwise undesirable event; most often set in person, in the flow of an otherwise harmless conversation. One should be on the lookout for this trap, and have a few handy excuses on hand to preempt or avoid making oneself unintentionally available. Trap is most effective on the honest, the sympathetic, and otherwise nice folks who can't just say "F**K off!"
Host: "Hey, great t-shirt!"
Prey: "Thanks....I made it on Cafe Press."
Host: "Cool. So are you in town this weekend?"
Prey: "Yeah, we don't go away until next month."
Host: "GREAT! Then you can come to my SmurfExchange Party on Friday night!" **BLAM: Prey has just become a victim of invitational entrapment, and now must attend lame event.

Get the tinkers invitation mug.A term used in the seduction community. Approach invitation is best defined as a sign that a woman is interested in a man, and she wants him to approach her. Approach invitations come in many ways. They include prolonged eye contact, being unnecessary close to the man in particular, unnecessary hair touching/tossing, loud talking/laughing when near. In other words, the woman is trying to get his attention in a subtle, or not so subtle way. Approach invitations don't last forever though, the woman might get frustrated when her invitation is ignored after a short amount of time, and she will give up. The man needs to recognize these signs and approach her fast.
