I have been walking along the street today and saw a flowers stall. Something came over me and I bought MYSELF a rose (this is a flower). I kept on walking with it. It was amazing how people’s attitude changed toward me, they became somewhat sympathetic. And the girl passing me by looked at the flower with a bit of jealousy. A couple of times I would come up with a question to some girls and they would so eagerly reply that when I was leaving I noticed something like pity in their eyes. About a dozen times girls would come up to me and ask:”You are going to give us your flower, ain’t you?” At first I’d reply “with pleasure” and then I would say that if was given to me and the girls’ eyes would start popping out of their heads.

It may be helpful for someone who is afraid to be turned down. You are bound to win in this case:

-        It’s obvious that you are not coming up for opinion Poll/advertising/sales. They are eager to help if you ask for a small favor.

-        You are STANDING OUT from the crowd – you attract their attention!!

I had always been doing it with a foolish grin upon my face:

- Excuse me, may I ask you for a small favor?

- Sure.

- I need to buy some beer. Could you help me to choose it?

...She would go with pleasure.

- Excuse me, may I ask you for a small favor?

- Sure.

- Could you tell me where I can find a café here... could you show it to me?

And so on... In the upshot I gave the flower to a very nice girl, a waitress in the café. The girl was stunned.

It was on Monday. I am walking along the avenue from the University. I see a good-looking girl who is walking in advance. What do I do to get acquainted with her in an unusual way? – no ideas. Nevermind! I keep on going without catching up with her. I see her entering the nearest store. I follow her. I notice that she’s looking for stockings. I leave the store and keep on walking slowly. She follows me and as her pace is a bit faster than mine in half a minute we are walking side by side – she is to my left. We have been walking together for two minutes already – I don’t pay any attention to her. In some time she turns right and heads for another store. I walk on without looking at her. Having passed about 200 m., I turn around and see her going out into the street. I enter some drugstore. I wait until she comes closer and then I come out and keep walking still ahead of her. Another store is on our way. I stop to cross the street. She stands by me, I turn to her, smile and she smiles in return. I cross the street and enter the store. She also enters it after me. I run around along the counters and leave. I walk on. I see her in the distance leaving the store. I come up to the closest flowers stall, buy an exotic flower (don’t remember what it was) and keep on going. As she’s walking faster than me she catches up with me at the nearest crossroad. I hold the flower so that she couldn’t see it. I smile at her again. She returns my smile. And at this moment I turn to her with the flower:

-        I would like to give this flower to the beautiful stranger who has been following me for more than half an hour.

-        Thank you.

-        My name is Andrew. You know what, why don’t we have a snack somewhere around here? I know a café, a real nice one, cozy and with a good cuisine. We could talk and make a closer acquaintance.

Ok. We go to the café where we have a very nice chat. In the end I get the girl’s phone number. This is what I call an unusual and pleasant way to meet the girl.

It was last summer in a health resort.

I met a girl at the pontoon. Until that moment we just smiled to each other at a distance. So I tell jokes amusing the company. SHE also laughs and ads something funny. I tell her:

- You are such a cutie! Wouldn’t I just hug you!

- Hug me, - she smiles. (I give her a hug).

- And kiss you!

- Kiss me (she smiles again as if it’s a joke). (I give her a light kiss).

I tell her jokingly:

- Why don’t we go make a baby?

- Ok.

She takes my hand and we leave followed by the stunned looks of the company. We were walking in the nearest wood, holding hands, joking and when it got dark...  

I come to the library and see a pretty girl sitting ALONE. I take a seat beside her. For a couple of minutes I just sit like an idiot. Nothing comes to my head. Then a thought flashes my mind – why don’t I take a book? I come up to the card index, take a box with letter M and pull out a card with Papuan Nauri Myths. I order the book and wait. And the girl is writing a research work surrounded with heaps of books with specific names – I couldn’t keep in mind any of them. The only thing I understood was that they were all devoted to the subject of some toxic substances influence on some hemoglobin-formation (or something like this).

- Sorry to bother you. I will have to sit here for the next 40 minutes. Can I have one of your interesting books?

She holds out one without even asking me why I would read something so specific. I skip through it. Then I get my book. The girl notices it. She gets really interested. Then we talk. I find out where she studies. Then a really exciting myth distracts my attention from her for a couple of minutes. She stands up with all her stuff and leaves. In a moment I start looking for her. She doesn’t seem to be in the building. I get dressed and come outside. She’s not there. I lost her. She must have stayed somewhere in the library.
