i have the same question as StoneCold, but i want more responses.
the thing is, as i walk on campus, i see a lot of cute hbs sitting alone. let me say that i am a fan of the gwm in the bible, and it recommends approaching stationary women who are alone. in all my life, i don't think i've seen so many cute girls sitting by themselves as i see here. (on a relevant note, just wanted to say that i was recently reading a post on a yahoo message board regarding how california has beautiful women, and the guy said that usually where there are a lot of hbs there are also a lot of homos. not sure if that's true, but around this school i have yet to see any pda, and maybe once a month i see a girl and guy holding hands or something - and it's usually the same ones, lol. in a way, whether it's a bunch of bs or has some validity, i've found this is a good place to be a dj-in-progress)
back to my question, most of these girls i see by themselves i assume are shy. you can sort of tell they are the quiet type anyway. i'm not afraid of approaching, i just don't want to startle them or come across as too agressive. but how do you make ec when you are walking by and they have their heads buried in some hw or some book? i know i have to get ec in some way. sorry McEwan, but you're just plain wrong...i've tried approaching these girls without ec, and it comes across as awkward. i'm relaxed, but i can tell they're tense, like, "you surprised me, where did you come from?" written across their foreheads.
i just don't want to let so many great opportunities slip past me.
i've thought of dropping something around the vicinity, and then as i pick it up try to notice what they're reading...but i want to feel natural/relaxed, and to me that would be fake and staged?
any tips from the pros is much appreciated.
