Ve been dating women back to back for the last 5-10 years and have never really had a chance to "date." Two months ago, I split with a girl after four years, and have been trolling this subreddit lately for tips.

Tonight, I put it to the test: At a coffee shop, seeing a very classy woman across the way and after getting up my nerve (which took about 30 minutes, haha), I sat down next to her on the couch she was reading on and went for it...

Me - Hi, I'm ____. I saw you come in and decided I wanted to introduce myself. Her - (Caught off guard) Oh, hi. How are you? Me - I'm great, would you like to have dinner some time? Her - I'm seeing someone, or I would. Me - Well I'm sure he's a very lucky man. Thank you!

I left walking much taller. I could care less that she was already taken. My adrenaline was pumping, and I loved every second of it.'
