I approach an 8 or 9 in a mall. She had red hair, shades and in Sephora hair section. I commented on her hair. Asked her question about what made her decide to color her hair red now. While she was engaged, she did not remove her glasses. And then said it would be fun to play with them and maybe pull them. She said yes and started playing with her hair. I said let me touch. And that broke the rapport and she left. James Tusk recommends escalating very fast. I tried that. This was all within two minutes.

I am thinking I could have said "I like to look at eyes when I talk -- may be she can raise her glasses.". Then rather than touching her hair, said "It would be fun to touch your hair and may be pull them a bit on a date. And if you are fun I will take her on a date. Are you fun?"

What would you guys do?
