At Target witnessing a guy hitting on a woman in the health & beauty aisle. He's oblivious to the ring on her finger, but doing well in the "polite conversation department"...
I had to chuckle at his game play while waiting for the hammer to drop...
"You like bowling?", he asks.
'Uh, yeah.'
"Heeeey, I like bowling, tooooo!"
He wasn't trying to be funny, but I see potential in this kind of approach...
*Imagines*...
"You like eating food?"
'Uh, yeah.'
"Heeeey, I like eating food, toooo! We should eat food together sometime!"
Anyway, they continue a bit and then the hammer...
'I'm married.'
"Oh. I'm soooooo sorry. So sorry."
He handled it pretty smoothly and they actually chatted a bit more.
It was a nice little show for the investment. (I started typing this before it was even over).
