you dont always need a gimmick sometimes sincere flattery will do it.

She doesnt have her guard up cuz she is working so she would be more receptive to this type of approach. She prob hates her job so tlaking to someone to break up the monotony would make her day.

Walk up to her "I was just unloading some junk from my car and saw you here checking hte meter... I just had to come over to meet you" then continue with conversation.

or "Hey can you tell me what those dials mean and point to the meter. I've always wanted to know. "

it takes balls to do either of these approaches considering the environment you are in so she is likely to acknowledge the effort and confidence it took.

IN SUMMARY: next time get out of your head just do something anything. If you failed you at least tried.

I cant imagine that first approach working.

why not? being sincere can work IRL.

Yea, being sincere can work, but being weird does not work. Approaching a girl and saying "Oh, I just had to meet you" is weird IMO. There's nothing casual about it.

if you are not congruent with it, it will come out wierd. If you are sincere she will pick up on it.

Well there's your problem right there--you violated the 3-second rule. Your best chance would have been to just go up and talk to her. Do you have any clever openers (prepared ahead of time)?

Here are some wise words I remind myself whenever I see a looker and I'm afraid to approach: he who hesitates, masturbates. :D

wiser words have never been spoken!

Hopefully the hot meter reader works in my area too!



HEY! I saw her first!

and where did this whole "G-Vegas" thing get started. Do people actually think this is the sister city of Las Vegas (h3ll, we just got rid of mini bottles for free pour and banned smoking in the city)!

You could always go with straight honesty. "This is going to sound pretty strange, but when the hell did meter readers start looking like you? Are you an actress or something?"

I really don't know what caused it...but people seem to say it all the time. I first started hearing it from my friends for Charlotte or Atlanta who were coming into town. They would always refer to it as "G-Vegas". Don't know where it came from...and with Bob Jones in the cities backyard...I don't see Greenville every becoming the sister city of Las Vegas...

Tell the truth, those are actually Gamecock girls being held hostage. Everyone knows Clemson girls look like catfish.

Late to thread, so I didn't read anything except for looking at the pic.

I gotta say, OP.... I like how you think.

Did you at least ask her to marry you?

If I was around her, I'd be sweating more than Mel Gibson in Jerusalem.
