Ariel gettin her flirt on

I heard somewhere (obviously a reliable source) that if you want to attract a guy's attention, you're supposed to lock eyes with him and stare for a good five seconds. I've attempted it a couple of times, and yeah, I don't think it works. I come off looking like a possible candidate for glaucoma, the autistic child, or just plain psycho. Guys at first will return the look (curiousity), then nervously glance away (fear), then look back (fascination of the abomination and confirmation of their fear) then quickly move to the other side of the room. Or, his wife and three children come running up to meet him. At any rate, I think I need to find a new groove.
