It was through a good friend of mine that I unlearned that bad habit.
It really shows disconnection.
I also tended to look down at my shoes when I would walk down the streets. My friend told me to stop doing that, because I would miss out on the world around me doing so.
This poor guy needs your help David. I am glad he sought it. I hope he watches videos of his approaches to see how poorly he is engaging his targets. I am surprised the girls didn’t just turn and walk away. They were being very polite just staying there and talking with him. Great example of a poor approach.
I think when he first walked up they thought he was the Smoking Police. He seemed very official, like he was going to bust them for smoking in a no smoking area, which could have worked if he had been playful about it. I think it’s great that he allowed you to video tape this and post it…no shame in wanting to better yourself.
Ouch. That was painful to watch. You can really feel for the guy.
I think his body language and demeanor was completely incongruent with a teasing line like that. I can see Will Ferrell getting away with a line like that. It kind of supports Dave’s point that the line will not save you like some kind of magical password…you pretty much have to get that ease and comfort down.
That kind of reaction is kind of why guys are afraid to approach…they were polite…but still it was rather awkward and they started to talk to each other to kind of freeze him out. Probably why I do better on vacations far from my hometown than where people know me.
be more manly and confident in front of the ladies.
Ah, the age old folding of the arms.

By the way, what happened after the video cut off? He’s still standing there… Did he excuse himself? Did the girls just walk away…?
NO tattooed gals for me, think that gal has a big one on her back
