Alex26 Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Hi Everybody, I approached a girl and suspiciously asked her “what is your name?”. She said "Why"? I did not expect it, so I thought and said “I just want to know” then, she said her name but she was all the time suspicious what was going on. What is the best answer when they ask “why” or why do you want to know? Thank you, Al

What is the best answer when they ask “why” or why do you want to know? Thank you, Al She knew why you were asking, so don't let her rattle you. It might be best if you intoduce yourself first. By asking her first you are making her go out on that limb first so be a nice guy and go first and give her the chance to follow your lead. If she wants to know why just tell her you are trying to be friendly and make conversation because she caught your eye and you didn't want to go home regretting not asking. Good luck!
Neptune Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 This will work. Tell her you are waiting on someone with the name Sherry. Or whatever name floats your boat. Say you very close fit her description but just thought it best to make sure she is the one you are looking for. i say this based on experience. Once a guy I know fixed me up with a gal. I talked to her on the phone but had never seen her. We were to meet at a nightclub. So, I got there on time and as the gals walked in as Murphy`s Law would have it they would fit her description. So, I had the task of approaching them and finding out if they were the one. Two were not but it was a great opener. It really worked for and intro. It is too believable for a person to truly be able to discount it. In that situation I was telling the truth. But, you could wing a lie real easy:p Oh, the gal finally showed about 30 minutes late after I gave up on her and my finally conclusion is that she had bats in the belfry.

What is the best answer when they ask “why” or why do you want to know? Thank you, Al wellllllll...if anyone came up to me and suspiciously asked me my name, i think it would creep me out and i would probably say the same thing. it doesn't sound like you used the best approach for whatever it was that you were getting at, that's for sure. if someone asks why....give them an honest answer. they have a right to know why you are accosting them for personal information.
whichwayisup Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Next time introduce yourself first that way she isn't put on the spot and made to feel uncomfortable. If someone I didn't know came up to me and asked what my name was, I'd probably be abit uncomfy too.

Thank you, Al the best answer is one that would diffuse the awkwardness of hte situation, something humourous perhaps. be creative. e.g.: 'well, i'm looking for ideas to name my new kitten and you just caught my attention straight away' your approach wasn't a good way to go about it in the first place. next time, give her a reason to volunteer information to you, its easier that way.
newbby Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 i would be suspicious too, if a complete stranger asked my name. it does depend on the setting too of course.

I kept thinking..how good must this woman be to compete with such a kitten?
Author Alex26 Posted December 6, 2005 Author Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks all for giving your opinions. I might have confused you with saying that I asked her suspiciously. I asked her in the most natural way I could. I did it before and girls answered me very well. However, I was clueless at the time. Runner, that is the best answer. Neptune that was awesome, however I need ask it in a funny way because I can never lie. Thanks Tudor and any body else. However, to girls, Don’t you think if someone has the balls to ask your name and talk to you because he thinks you are an attractive woman, he deserves more than this you wrote;) If you get anxious or whatsoever when the right person walks up to you, you don’t think that you are the losers: Have a great week, Alex
