Oh, here's another story about being direct:
When I was 18 in college, me and 2 buddies were in a car and were driving off when we saw this cute girl standing in front of the college waiting for her transport. My friend the driver decided to drive over and talk to her. Now he's a real direct, full of courage and in your face kinda guy. So here's how the conversation went:
Guy (winds down my window and spoke across my seat to the girl): "Hi how are you"
Girl (looks and then looks away)
Guy: "Where are you going?"
Girl: "Home"
Guy: "Can we give you a lift?"
Girl: "No thanks"
Guy: "How about we go for a drink?"
Girl: Shakes her head
Guy: "OK, maybe another day. How about another day?"
Girl: Ignores him
Guy: "What's your name?"
Girl: Ignores him
Crowd starts to gather. The other two of us are cringing in our seats.
Guy: "OK. Maybe we will see you again soon. Talk to you next week ok?"
Girl: Girl gets embarassed, smiles a little but ignoring us. No eye contact.
A week later, I find that they're going out and she's a real slut in bed. He couldn't handle her sexual demands. Damn!
