"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Do you game them? Here's the scenario:

Taking a walk in the park, always fun to oogle opposing traffic, so I give this chick the once over (lets say 7~7.5) and smile at her. She smiles back and drops a hello as she's passing in the middle of her saying something on the phone.

So... does the Don Juan stop her and try and start a conversation?

Does he continue walking?

Or maybe something more obscure, like picking up a pinkie0thumb phone and start mining a phone conversation?

Ideas?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

A 'don juan' would pursue what truly interest him.

The girl smiled, but ask yourself, are you interested in getting to know her?
Do you have time for it? Is there a reason why you must know her (perhaps to sharpen your rapport-building skills with strangers etc.)

It's really up to you. Don't model yourself as a 'don juan'.

Just do you. Whatever floats your boat.

I'd smile and move on

It's rude to interupt someone on the phone

also, she might have just been being friendly

You'd probably get a negative response if you just start blabbing away at her while she's already busy keeping up another conversation

I for one hate it when two people try to talk to me at the same time.

You could watch and wait til she gets off the phone and casually pass by and try something then, but never interrupt a chick on the phone.

tuff one...........causeits rude to talk on the phone and rude to ask the chic to hang up......................DRY ERASE BOARD............MIGHT WORK.

asking her something............might hang up.

following her.............exudes creepiness

WHAT ABOUT A MAGNETIC PULSE THAT turns off all electronic devices!!!!!!!!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

hahah, i don't want to kill my cell phone either. There is no possibility of me reversing course and following her without major creep factor (its a walking path around a lake)

So either ask her something and see if the phone disappears (hey babe, do you like pie?) or just chill and stick to the chicks with dogs. The runners i don't bother with.

So far we're 1 and 1.

Why not walk by, do the eye contact thing, get a smile, then come back a little later to see if she's still around?

Then she'd be pissed about her phone

and you couldn't get her number having destroyed all phones within radius of the blast

I got a smile and a hi while she was on the phone. That's whats throwing me off.... obvious signal of interest, but phone to ear is obvious signal of "don't bug me"
