WHat about this one?
“…, reaching out like you wanted to shake hands (its important that you bring up your left hand here), but when she reacts you take her hand with your right as if you were inviting her to the dancefloor, bringing the line “come dance with me they are playin our song” at the same time and either she plays along or says no, then you can follow up with “ok then lets just hold hands until we get out of here”, stand straight and smile happily.”

HILARIOUS!!

Mr. Bombastic you’d make a terrific humorist. You remind me of Craig Ferguson!!

Mr. Boombastic, you are a riot. You made me lol with “if you walk out that door…” one. That would make my day. I’d probably rush you and say “o.k. let’s elope!”

That was great! I know what to do next time I have to get in an elevator. I just cannot stand the silence in an elevator. There’s this great elevator in the Westin (I think that’s right) in Atlanta that offers an awesome view of the city. It’s so great that they are charging $5 per person to ride it to see the city from above in the Sundial restaurant.

beating me up LOL. how tall are you? if you use any nasty tricks you get disqualified u know. ..
but i shouldn’t have put this one first because it was just a joke, first impressions are important obv. Frankly if a lady in the elevator would do this i would be a little bit scared too. and it’s even worse because i hardly can beat her up, right? well i thought about the “softer” and i feel it is right so i’ll go with that.

Sorry for the typo MB, my fingers must have slipped too fast through letter m .LOL
First of all who am I to say what is right and what is wrong. I am just saying how I think I would react. I imagine that if a total stranger says something like “ok this is now or never, ever made love in an elevator with a complete stranger? no. now here is your chance.” and then press the emergency button to stop the engine I would freak out. I think I would kind of beat you up or something, ha,ha! You have to consider you don’t know the other person, and that maybe having something more neutral like what David Wygant suggested will be less risky. I think you are skipping several steps.. On the other hand as you said this might work if you already know the person. that’s it!

ok i see. ty Marisa. since you decided to change my alias into BOO-bastic, i assume that these approaches are not the best i could deliver.

originally i had in mind to create a moment of romance and i realize that trying too hard is counter-productive. actually i had some “success” with similar but it was always out of the moment and chemistry was clearly there before, so it was more in the flow of things. and sometimes i didn’t even realize what i do, saying things i would not dare to say had i thought about it before, but for some reason they “worked”. Other times you walk away and you have so many things coming up in your mind that you could have done and said, but it is too late. so, chances favour the prepared mind but i don’t like coming up with canned lines, rather have the right mindset to jump thru windows of opportunity. and i still want to put a smile on that face and a sparkle of romance in her eyes. softer. i’ll think about that, but what do you think about “direct” approaches generally in these situations if i may ask you? would you feel embarrassed if a man shows his interest as a man here?

Mr. Boobastic,
If someone told me any of the lines you mention above in an elevator, I don’t know if I would laugh or if I would get upset. It is really extreme. I think you should try something softer. but hey, we’re all different, so you never know.

i have another one:

excuse me, can i ask you a quick question? i have this friend and he was once in an elevator like this one and he said to this girl next to him “nice ass, wanna hook up?” do you think that’s rude? would that work with you? either she says “no certainly not” so you can follow up with ” i told him he was an asshole. but i really would like to get to know you. my name is …”
or she says “maybe …” so you say “nice ass, wanna hook up? my name is …. btw.”

or going back to the dance thing, reaching out like you wanted to shake hands (its important that you bring up your left hand here), but when she reacts you take her hand with your right as if you were inviting her to the dancefloor, bringing the line “come dance with me they are playin our song” at the same time and either she plays along or says no, then you can follow up with “ok then lets just hold hands until we get out of here”, stand straight and smile happily.

for the girls do you think that could work? or is it completely out of the question. i’m looking for something playful, fun and bold, dont want to creep you out.
