Nice job Mixx. I started this approach thing yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to make it 2 every day though, at least not now but I'll try to do it as frequent as possible.
By the way, how did you approach the girl at the bus?
She was sitting down with her ipod/earphones on, and I pulled my car over about 50 yards away from the bus stop.
At bus stop:
Mixx:"Hey, let me ask you something"
Target looks at me confused and removes her earphones
Mixx:"I got some friends flying in from NYC on vacation, and they will not have a car, and I don't know how to use the bus system myself, does this bus take me to 123 anywhere usa?"
Target: "Well...I don't know...I just get off at 456 somewhere, USA, and do not know where it goes afterwards"
Mixx:"Bummer...well, I guess their gonna get lost a lot, I'm going to blame it on you now for not being a reliable source of intel...so, I'm off the hook"
Target starts looking at me like I have a vagina tattoo on my forehead.
This si where I start changing the subject, and start looking to move to a more personal topic as the bus can come by at any minute, and she will get on it.
Mixx:"Hey, I'm just kidding girl, I'll probably end up google mapping teh entire route, but hey, I know it may sound a but odd, but I got 2 girlfriends I'm hanging out with later, so how about I introduce you and you make some cool new friends today...don't worry, we won't take the bus so you can get us lost (smiling).
Target:"umm...well, I don't know you"
Mixx:"Humm..Ok, take a picture of my drivers license, and run it by the local police precinct, but wait, i don't know you either, what if you just finished killing your ex, and dumed his body with your car in a swamp nearby...heck give me your license, I need to be safe too"
target laughs..."no, you are the crazy guy, besides I do not drive"
Mixx" Well, what are you 25? and you don't drive?" I pull out my iphone.....
Mixx:"Put your number there and I'll teach you to drive and ride a motorcycle as well, it wil be fun..."
target: "Sorry, I have a boyfriend"
Mixx" What's that? You have a sorry boyfriend?"
Target (laughs) "No, no, I have a boyfriend, I have to go now...."
Mixx" Well, tell your sorry boyfriend to teach you to drive, so that handsome and interesting men are not hitting on you at the bus stop...too bad, I was worth it...later"
there were a dozen ways I could have handled this, but I chose to move on...no point in trying to beg for a number...her loss. NEXT!
