I work from anywhere so I'm in coffee shops alot. This alone has improved my game more than any other way.
I'm usually pretty good coming up with something on the fly. Sometimes it's direct, an observation, indirect, assumption, etc. I know all the angles.
There is this one girl who comes in almost everyday. I started catching the IOIs recently. Either turning and making eye contact, the hair playing, waiting for her coffee pretending to turn and look out the window but gives me a few glances, or before she leaves with her coffee making the eye contact. All that crap.
I can't find a calibrated opener for her though. One thing that stands out is she is always wearing a different type of shoe. Like funky shoes. One day army boots, next day heel-less loafers with no socks. Next day white sneakers with giant soles that give her a few extra inches, another day red bows on black wedges. Never the same. There has got to be an opener here where I can joke and compliment at the same time but where she needs to qualify also. Or maybe open with an assumption? A flat out compliment may not be terrible here either as long as it isn't needy. She is pretty and I can see most guys being intimidated but that is more reason to approach.
I thought of just teasing her about the different shoes all the time but then it means I'm creeping her doesn't it? She's early 30s at the oldest. Maybe younger.
I'm usually pretty good but I'm stumped with her for some reason. And there are enough IOIs to give it a shot without blowing up my spot.
Any ideas?
