Yesterday night I was walking around and could not get the courage to walk up to someone and say, "Excuse me. I had to stop you because I thought you looked really cute and I'd be kicking myself if I didn't say hello."

Today, I decided that if I didn't do that to somebody, I wouldn't allow myself to jack off tonight (TMI?). I walked around a Costco with the intention of using a direct opener on someone. Finally saw my target who was an HB6-7 asian girl who was alone. I stalked her from behind like a creeper for about 20 seconds and she walked into this aisle that was relatively empty. She turned around and walked my direction.

I used the opener on her and got a smile and a thank you. I didn't know what to say next so I just asked, "What brings you to this costco today?". My thought was, "stupid question, too personal, and I should have used a statement." Her smile disappeared, probably from reading my aura, for lack of a better term.

She said, "I'm just grocery shopping for my mom we're going to go camping later." Her feet started to point away from me.

I said, "Oh, that's nice, where are you going camping?" Another question, damn it.

She said, "Sorry, but I'm in a rush. I've got to go now."

I said, "No problem, have a nice time camping". She turned the corner and walked away.

Next time I'll do better, probably. Since it's my first direct opener, my mind was stuck on the opener and how to use it. Once it becomes normal for me I'll have free brain power to say better things as a follow up.
