Use this as the launch point for a conversation, naturally moving on to other topics and interests. Remember that nothing is so flattering as someone wanting to know all about you, so ask lots of questions and remember to listen to the answers. Be amusing without going over the top. Body language: Eye contact is crucial, it's shows you are interested and lets you gauge his reaction. If he returns your gaze, you are on to a winner, but is he avoids it, he's not that keen. Keep you body language open and don't be afraid to touch his arm to emphasis a point. Drop in the line: Once the conversation is flowing drop in the line….."Do you think we could meet for a drink sometime?" If he says Yes: Nice work. Follow up his acceptance with a suggested location and time. Seal the deal by exchanging numbers. If he say No: No harm done, carry on the conversation. Don't take it personally or bear a grudge, it just wasn't meant to be. You never know, your confidence and attitude may make him regret his decision. If he is non committal: This is an initial rejection but he doesn't want to harm your feelings. Carry on as before, and give him your number to keep the option open. Move on: Well Done. Whether you secured a date or not you should be proud of yourself. If you were turned down, don't worry, you just aren't his type, but you probably made his day. Its always better to give it a shot than spend your life thinking 'what if...?' |
