Approach: Written 27 July 2011

This is of vital importance because it'll either bring a smile or a frown which will determine whether you get any contact or not.  This morning from the gym rushing for work carrying a hand bag, gym bag, in high heels with an umbrella because its raining.  This guy comes up to me and walks with me:

G: Hello

U: Hi

G: You look beautiful

U: Thank you

G: I like your hair

U: Thank you

G: Please cover me with your umbrella

U: ???? Its small and if I cover you then I'll get wet

G:  Oh...( silence) where are you going?

U: to work

G: where?

U: silence *thinking, ngyasindwa, you have not offered to carry one bag for me, uthi angikukhave with my umbrellar, kuyanetha! vele why didn't u get on nendlela yakho! SERIOUSLY? REALLY?!

G: Please give me your number

U: silence

G: Oh uyangziba

U: silence

G: awufuni ne number yakho...

U:*Im thinking for 5 minutes!!!!!!!*

G: Sisi..........eventually leaves me alone.   

Guys?! Get the big bag first!  maybe ne umbrella ke. Try to make the situation lighter *pun intended* You'll get a smile, a thank you, a good chat...maybe ne number ke depends on our next lesson: FIRST IMPRESSION.

Hhayi ngoba ngazi kakhulu, women differ, this is just me.

 

First Impression long overdue! Coming soon :)
