Muscatine

When a man first sets eyes on a woman that he likes and decides to make an approach, he's in for the emotional equivalent of an ''American Idol'' audition.

He's got mere seconds to make an impression and hope that his crush-object (you) will send him onto the next round - for more conversation, a drink, a number, and perhaps a first date.

He needs to do all that with the looming fear that the judge - you - will be harsher than Simon after the five-hundredth awful rendition of ''I'll do it my way.''

So how does a guy manage the risk?

How about you? Flirting is an art form. What's the best approach you've ever seen? Or, dare I ask, the worst?

Anyone willing to share?

Peace

''what's your tattoo?''

i look for the big tattoo on the lower back that sticks up above the pant line. i know that is a gal who is willing to something that she will regret in the morning.

I believe



I heard someone call them a tramp stamp. Don't know how they got that name.

However I think every guy uses a opening line. Even if it's as simple as ''Hi, my name is Billy Bob''. I think the art form comes in when you can take a cheesey line and make it sound ligit. I have no examples at this time, but can tell you that I have used lines on women in the past and that includes my current wife. The rate of success with a line is never due to our abilities, but how the woman of our choosing see us. Which is why many times we get tossed in the first round.
