Ask her for the time?? -diao- she might be thinking, i shouldn't
waste time on someone who can't afford a watch.
wat's more, doesn't it sound so cheesy. unless you really happen to
end up next to her in the bus/mrt, maybe you can really juz be
honest and direct, cut the crap wif the flattery cos sometime gers
juz get irritated when they tink you are trying to pick them up or
get fresh.
smile, yup, be natural. you'll know when she returns yr smile and
then if you are not so near to her, maybe you can juz lift yr hand
and say hi, say something, yes, maybe ask abt wat kinda work is she
doing, cos this is the most neutral rather then engage in a debate
on the water issues btwn sg and my.
eg:
you : hi
she : hi
you : seen you on quite a number of ocassions taking this
bus.
or
you : seen you on the mrt quite a few times.
you : which part of town are you working at?
she : the xyz building
you : oh, abc company is there rite?
then take it from there. cos the most difficult part is to really
say something to her. then from there you can see wat intrest her
and maybe if yr offices are near, can try asking her for lunch
after a few more encounters.
after yr first few lines then maybe use this to intro yrself.
you : by the way, i'm ah kow.
pause and see if she intros herself, look at her eyes. this will
indicate you are awaiting a response from her. she'll most prolly
respond. if not, use the following.
you : and you are?
there you have it, if all goes well. oh, do look out if she already
has an engagement or marriage ring, you never know if jealous
boyfriend or hubby is juz behind her
