I moved to a country where drop dead gorgeous girls ALWAYS make eye contact and ask me questions. Being from the hell that is America I had no idea how to react at first. I had many lonely days and nights simply because I looked away when a girl looked at me, or worse...yes...I would run (well, walk really fast) away from friendly girls. God, I must have looked like a wimpish prick
Before I turn this into a rant against American pigs I will tell you what you should do. (1) Look them in the eye (2) Listen (3) Ask for phone/email (4) Be friendly (5) Check them for STD's
NEVER NEG! That B.S. is coming from fruits who dress like fruits and try to sell overly horny American guys $2,000 weekend courses on how to pickup tramps.
The key is to build rapport.
