Perhaps the greatest single challenge a guy might face is confronting a woman on the elevator, sizing her up (checking ring finger, etc), and then starting a conversation that might result in a date, all in about 15 seconds.
OK, Jerry could do it, but that’s TV; this is REAL life, or my reasonable facsimile of it!
I’m on the 9th floor, so she needs to enter no later than the 6th floor. And then, what happens if someone else enters on the 5th floor?
SO THAT I MIGHT BE PREPARED, WOMEN ONLY, PLEASE TELL ME WHICH YOU MIGHT PREFER:
“So, do you have any great stories of guys you have met in an elevator? You could have your first right now!”
“Certainly a woman as gorgeous as you has a guy in her life, so is the lack of a ring got something to do with a diamond allergy?”
“Just how do you react to unwanted overtures when trapped in an elevator for 15 seconds?”
“Do you want me to push that button for you?”
“Do you mind if I get off at your floor? What I have to say, I cannot get out in 15 seconds?”
“Do you want the elevator to get stuck as much as I do?”
“May I ask, just what is the lamest pick-up line you have ever heard, and please do not tell me it is ‘What is the lamest pick-up line you have ever heard?”
“Hi there. Do you come here often?”
“My therapist tells me that introducing myself to gorgeous women on the elevator is a great way to overcome shyness.”
“Do you hear anything? That’s me falling in love.”
