ORIGINAL: bigblackone ME - So you must be a lady who I wouldn't start with this. What if she isn't what you describe? What if she is but doesn't like being placed into a box from the get-go? Then you've already achieved a "no" before you've finished your first sentence. Not worth the risk. Better to start open-ended. Use the same sentence, but say, "Are you a... ?" or, "Perhaps you're a..." Give her something to talk about. Ask a question or two, so she has a socially easy way to respond to you. Did you sign your emails with your own name? If not, asking for her name was dumb. I've found a good strategy to be to (1) sign my name to my emails three times; (2) get her to laugh at something I wrote; and (3) then ask, "Can I have your name please?" If she hasn't provided it by then, she almost always apologizes and does. Finally, you're misusing "your" instead of "you're." (You're beautiful = you are beautiful) That's going to put a lot of women off, or make them think you're not smart, even if you are. So grammar check helps. Good luck.[;)]
