1. Don’t wait for the absolute perfect moment to speak with her, like when her friends leave her alone. Even if the conversation goes well when her friends return they will quickly drag her back into their group.
2. Don’t stare at her for more than three seconds before approaching. Hesitate, and you’ll either creep her out or psyche yourself out.
3. Do not be leery of approaching her only because there are men in her group. Generally, you’ll find out that she’s merely with family, friends, or co-workers and not a boyfriend or date.
4. Never open a conversation by apologizing. Phrases like “Excuse me ” “Pardon me ” and “I’m sorry, but” make you sound like a beggar.
5. Don’t hit on her or give her a generic compliment. Instead, start a conversation with an entertaining anecdote or question, such as asking the group to suggest names for a three-legged cat or a store that sells 70′s memorabilia. It may sound corny, but everyone loves to give their opinion.
6. Never, ever buy her a drink. You shouldn’t have to pay for her attention.
7. Under no circumstances should you touch or grab her immediately. If she touches you, retort, while smiling, “Watch it, hands off the goods.”
8. Don’t lean in or hover. Stand up as straight as possible, and if it’s too noisy and she can’t hear you, then raise your voice.
