You see her across the room. Ah, so attractive. But nobody to

introduce her to you. “Ah, I’ll do a James Bond on her,” you

think. Now what was Bond’s first words to Pussy Galore? “I

must be dreaming.” No, that won’t work. How about singing

“Underneath the Mango Tree” to her as Bond did to Honey Rider

in “Dr. No”. Ah? No!

Well, what’s left? You’ll just have to go up and talk to her,

if it’s a situation where you won’t see her again. But it’s

always safe to assume that she has a boyfriend that can squeeze

the stuffings out of a gold ball. That aside, take a chance

and make polite conversation. What’s the worst that can happen.

She says, “I’m sorry, I’m not available.” and you save the

time and money of a date with her. Like George Burns says,

“When a beautiful woman says “no” to me, it’s a relief.

If you know that you will see her again, like at your university,

your job, or working at a restaurant, you can have another shot

at her and use the shy man’s approach to getting a date.

“You farm boys don’t make a pitch, you just shy your way into

position,” Ann Margaret says to Pat Boone in “State Fair”.

Okay, here it is. Instead of asking her to dinner or out on a

date which has romance intended, get some tickets to a concert

or event first, and then with tickets in hand say, “I just

happened to have tickets to this event. If you’d like to go

with me, I’d be happy to take you.” This way the subject is

the event. Talk about the person singing at the concert,

instead of if the two of you could hit it off or not. She can

easily say yes or no, or ask more questions about you or the

time and place of the event. She doesn’t have the pressure of

turning you down, so she can just turn the event down and that

will be that. And if by chance she can’t make that date, but

is interested in you, she can start talking about going out

another time.

I’ve strongly suggested this “ticket” technique to both men and

women who are infatuated with someone at work, or at shop, or

restaurant, and have no idea how to make an approach. If the

person is available, they usually say yes to an invitation.

After all, it’s just going to an event. It’s not really a

date.

I used this “ticket” technique in college to ask out a beautiful

stranger. I was very shy, but was “in love” from a distance so

I had to take some kind of scary attraction. Her name was Cindy

and I often saw her in the student lounge surrounded by guys.

It took weeks of watching her before I could catch her walking

alone, and ask her if she’d like to go see the reserved seat

Cinerama showing of “Grand Prix”. She said, “Well, I don’t

know you, but if you come and talk to me sometimes and I get

to know you, then maybe.”

So in the next days I made an attempts at getting in a few words

with her as she talked with her friends. Then I found out she

was taking the film appreciation class that I had taken a

semester earlier. So I pushed the teacher to show my new 16mm

action film in the class that she was in. He fiqured I had a

secret motive because he said he’d show it in the morning class,

but I said it had to be shown in the afternoon class (the one

Cindy was in). Finally, he agreed.

I not only directed the film, but had a part in it where I used

my newly learned karate and hoped she would be impressed. The

film went over great with the class cheering and applauding.

As she was leaving the class I said to her, “Well, do you know

me well enough now?” She said, “To go out with you? I replied,

“Yes.” She smiled and nodded her head yes.

So don’t “ask her out”. Don’t “take her to dinner”. Get some

tickets, and maybe she’ll answer you like Cameron Diaz does in

“Charlie’s Angels”. “Tickets? I love tickets!”
