Question
I went to visit a cousin of mine in his hall at a local university.As I walked along a veranda leading there,I saw a cute lady walking towards me.She changed direction slightly in order to avoid bumping into me.I then moved such that I blocked her.She looked puzzled as she stood infront of me.I just smiled and whispered:I'm not gonna let you go cause I'm feeling naughty tonight.She placed one had on my shoulder,looked down,laughed and said:That is very bad.But her laughter and mannerisms convinced me she didn't find what I did bad at all.I allowed her to go because I didn't know how to continue in order to increase rapport,get her to laugh again and then get her contacts.Please how should I have continued?


Answer
Hello Gary,
Thanks for your question.

When a guy has confidence and not trying to force things to happen; things do happen! This certainly seems to be the case here.

The good thing about this is with that attitude, you can re-create such experiences virtually at will.
With such a flexible approach you could have continued in scores of ways a fine example would have been with a unique compliment.

Don't lose heart though, they'll be many opportunities.
