I was at a bar and talking to this women for about 15 minutes. She is an 8 out of 10 on the attraction scale and I was determined to keep the tension up. The conversation starts to get stale so confidently (probably arrogantly) I tell her, "I can talk to anyone."

She gives me a quizzical look and I notice her eyes darting around the bar area. She points and tells me to go over and talk to a woman who is making out with a guy.

Shit. I just dug myself a hole. The woman and the man are really going at it. I hesitate for few seconds, interrupting the couple would be very socially awkward, but not following though with my statement would make me appear to be a liar and a bitch.

I waltz over authoritatively and hesitate again. The couple are so involved with each other that they do not notice me standing over their shoulders. I look over at the 8 and she has her phone out ready to take a picture. I take a breath and tap the woman on the shoulder. They unlatch mouths and the woman gives me the most perplexed look. They guys says simply, "what the fuck." I cannot blame him.

I then say to the woman, "I just wanted to know your name." She looks up at me and tells me. I respond cordially and walk back to the 8. She is laughing and cannot believe I went through with it. I just smile back.
