I like this approach of just handing her a card. There’s less talking and it gets right to the point. Because I really have found out, through as few as a dozen approaches, that getting their imaginations going and just letting it go and putting the ball in their court is far more effective.
Otherwise, even to me it feels like pursuit. I don’t want to be that type of man. It just feels wrong. Really wrong. So I’m getting some cards printed up.
Do you say “hey, give me a call sometime.” Or just hand them the card? I’m thinking just hand them the card and let them figure out why I gave them my card would work best.
Some of my interactions in foreign lands.
Example;
1. Bus stop in Bangkok, I randomly strike up a conversation with a girl that has a group of friends abt her and asked if she speaks English, proceed 2 ask her for directions, she was helpful pointing and explaining, she asked if im a tourist, she made some small talk, i just gave a non committal smile then handed over my business card, smiled and walk off towards my hotel.
2. Passing by a bus stop in Metro Manila, saw this university girl wearing a worn and torn off jeans busy with her hp, felt like doing something good (well, she's cute and pretty), proceeded to drop off some $$ on her lap and told her to get a new one (everything is cheap there) - little did I know that's the current fashion then, the expression on my face must have made an impression as she smiled broadly, giggled and seemed truly bemused, I just nodded, raised an eyebrow, smiled and gave her my business card, not saying a single word I walked away.
In both instances, they initiated contact.
