Great Success...almost
After going through a pretty horrible sorta-relationship with someone which lasted almost 2 years I decided to give dating a miss for a while. No more trying to score, anytime I went out I didn't even consider looking at a girl and didn't even think of one during my break. And if anyone had tried to score with me I would have just declined. Then one day I was out drinking with some friends and realised, hang on...it's been a year, maybe I should hop back in the pool.

While I was out dancing I spy a girl I like the look of, exactly my type. When the music stopped I could see her chatting to some guy and they seemed pretty close, so I figured it was her bf and that was that. Later when I was waiting outside for my friends I see her with her group and seeing as she was not talking to anyone in particular I should make my move.

Now, what was going through my head was that I should at least let her know i'm interested and if that guy was her bf I could just run away. So I walk up to her and say:
"I just wanted to say, you're really good looking. You can go back to what you were doing know, I'll go."

Just as I was about to turn and leave one of her friends shouted "No!, you can't just say that and leave, you have to follow up with something!". My mind went blank, I had absolutely no idea what to say next. So I put on a mock voice and said to him, "but what do I say, man, what do I say?!" "Ask her where she's from". "That's a great idea!" I say, "I like the way you think!"

It ended up working a treat, she had to drop her friends back home, so she asked for my number (one of the only times a girl had asked me, not the other way round). Sadly, It didn't work out in the end, she started dating someone else that week, but I learned an important lesson; If you can't think of something to say, just pretend that you are pretending you can't.
