[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sole comment for the discourse:

I hate that the actual line is being picked apart. His general advice to put yourself out there and risk rejection for the chance of an authentic, fulfilling relationship is one we should be celebrating, not micro-nitpicking the actual line being used.

I am 48 with two teenage boys. I had some success and a lot of rejection when I was a teen and young man, despite being a conventionally attractive, [b]division 1 hockey player who went to a good school[/b].

In my experience, the line doesn't matter as much as the sincerity of trying to say hi and doing so in a non-threatening way that gives the woman an opportunity to politely decline. I have told my boys this. I have also told them that unfortunately, there are a lot of rude, judgmental people of both sexes that will react to your earnest attempts by laughing at you, or ridiculing your intro. And to be thankful you were rejected by them at the outset and dodged that bullet.[/quote]

Well you were most likely 25 hitting on 19 year olds. So that's always going to go sideways.

Cold calling is basically going to get a lot of rude hang ups, ... teach your boys to make sincere friendships with women, men, and everything in between and eventually they will meet someone through their friends who they can ask out. [/quote]
