then you reply...."Well, I guess that your outward beauty can only be marred by your internal ugliness!" and then walk off to the next victim

I once rode a bus line a lot further than my destination, to
continue a conversation with a woman started at the bus stop.
She wasn't at all alarmed; we dated for three months beginning
the next day.

I once gave a rose to a lovely women I saw in a club; somehow
she gave me her phone number. I don't remember if we spent much
time together that first meeting. That led to an exciting
relationship that lasted all summer.

So I think in my experience you'd do better to ask a woman
on her way into the theatre alone if she'd like to sit with
you, and also to give up your idea of which movie to see
(unless you're really good at picking films to see, and the
place is showing really good films to begin with).

I generally find the 'movie' date one of the most awkward
ones early in a new friendship, so I wouldn't pick that
venue myself. I'm a lot more comfortable with going out
for a meal or a coffee or someplace we can chat. The 'movie'
date I don't remember if it generated much conversation or
not.

I've had very good luck bringing a new friend by my brother's
place, with his wife and kids and their friends around. They
always seem to enjoy this and the woman also seems to feel
quite safe and secure, so it's a big win for everyone.
