The First Move

• Introduce yourself to that person youve been
  admiring from afar.
• Introduce yourself using both first name and last
  names.
• Keep in mind
• The underlying key is CONFIDENCE.
• Smile, smile, smile.
• Compliment that person on his or her clothes,
  eyes, smile or sense of humor for starters.
• Keep your body language open and inviting
• Make eye contact, lightly touch the person's hand
  or arm when telling a story, toss your head back
  when you laugh.
• Gauge the person's interest carefully.
• If you sense a flashing red light - or worse,
  smug ridicule - make your exit graciously, and
  immediately. (You've got nicer people to meet.)
• If you perceive a connection, make the bold move.
• Get the person's telephone number.

The Call

• Call.
• Choose a time that is not intrusive.
• Call when you are comfortable doing so,
  regardless of what your friends might say about
  the right time to call.
• Reintroduce yourself once you're on the phone by
  saying something like, "Hey, it's INSERT NAME.
  We met at INSERT LOCATION."

Make It or Break It

• Using as little pretense as possible (ideally
  none), ask the person if he or she would like to
  get together for a cup of coffee or do something
  similarly casual.
• If you are politely refused, take the hint and
  get off the phone.
• Meet casually for a brief time - half an hour or
  so.
• If that goes well, suggest a more formal date,
  such as lunch.
