WEEK 3(5-10 min convo)
*btw, Thx OHM.
-First attempt is failure. Ask 2 set for good place to eat, convo quickly dies down.
1. Blondie-
Me: Hey I think u are stunning. I had to come over and tell you.
Blondie: Thank you. (talked about being a nanny, watching kids. Listening to street performer play the banjo...)
Me: Its like deliverance over here with you...(teasing)
Blondie: Blah blah blah, North is that way, South is that way, blah.
Me: Like I said, I'm meeting new people, etc. Here puit your # in my phone.
Blondie: I don't give out my # that easy.
Me: Ok take my number down.
Blondie: I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably not gonna call you.
Me: I respect the honesty, thats rare. But like I said, I dont know too many
people, and Im meeting people around here.
Blondie: (takes my # down.) Go to X church on sunday, I will probably be there. I can
introduce you to people, blah.
Me: Ok great, pleasure meeting you.

3. asian 2 set.
Me: How do i tell a girl im not interested, but without hurting her feelings?
(they ask me details, i make some stuff up about it)
Me: shes 25, and i met her at a photoshoot she was doing, etc.
(they answer. We talk about NYC, one of the girls goes to FIT, etc. I tell them how sometimes its hard to tell if a girl is checking me out or checking themselves out, in my mirrored shades.
Me: You guys are cool. Here, put your number in there. Who knows, maybe we will hang out or something.
(she puts # in phone. We talk more, then i excuse myself.) ps. asian girls love jewish guys. I dont know why this is...but if you havent seen The Social Network, see it.
4. **some of the ridiculous openers turned into 5+ min convos.**
Me: Hi, I'm looking for the ENTIRE State building, where can I find it?
Woman:The Empire state building? Thats...
Me: No, the ENTIRE state building. I'm looking for the ENTIRE state building.
Woman: Are you yanking my chain?
Me: No I really wanna know.
Woman: The Empire state building is that way.
Me: Ohhh, the EMPIRE state building. I thought it was the entire state building.
Woman: What do you really want?
Me: No, I was really trying to find it, I guess I was confused w/ the name or something. How are we gonna start a relationship w/ no trust?
Woman: I guess we cant have one. Im old enough to be your mom.
Me: hum, actually have you seen Benjamin Button?
Woman: Yea
Me: Well im sorta like him, i age in reverse. I'm actually 80.

Clerk: Is that a real title?
Me: yea a friend recommended it to me...
Clerk: ok let me check...
(we proceed to have a convo about jumping off the brooklyn bridge, how suicide is for wimps, how power is the biggest aphrodisiac, young girls dont like old fat men unless they are super rich, winston churchill, etc.)
Clerk: You have nothing to worry about now cause youre not old and fat...yet.
Me: Well thank you.
Clerk: Btw, dont look like a tourist, and dont carry maps around. Thats asking for trouble.
Me: I wont, thanks again.
