Post Lockdown Hone Your Pick-Up Skills, Boys!

The lockdown is almost over and most men are fretting over having lost the art of seducing members of the opposite gender. Zahid h javali is here to solve that problem…

It was dark and rainy outside. But inside the hip new book bar, the mood was sunny. I pick up my mocha and walk over to a woman’s table, thinking of the funniest moment in my life. That put a smile on my face as I asked her, “What, are you shy or something?” She’s confused.

“NO, why?”

“Because I’ve been sitting at the next table for at least 30minutes and you haven’t come over to say ‘hi’ to me!”

I don’t stop there. I tell her that I want to set her up on a date and point out some funny-looking guys for her in the book lounge. Then, I ask her to pick out some girls for me. It works. She picks. I dismiss it. I pick. She dismisses. Finally, we agree to take each other out and the mission is accomplished.

On another occasion, I try the same trick, with a small twist. Instead of picking guys for her, I just sit there, playing the game of ‘favourites’. I go back and forth with the woman naming my preferred things. My favourite ice cream, restaurants, and so on. Every now and then, I spice it up by taking it to the extreme and asking her, what’s the craziest experience she’s ever had in a restaurant, or the most bizarre food she’s ever tried.
