When a girl says "I don't know you," a confident and friendly approach is key. Instead of feeling discouraged, use it as an opportunity to introduce yourself and spark a connection.
Strategies for Responding
Here are effective ways to respond:
- Acknowledge and Introduce:
- "You're right, we haven't met yet. I'm [Your Name]." This is a simple, direct approach.
- Reference a Shared Experience (If Applicable):
- "That's true, but I saw you at [place] and I wanted to introduce myself. I'm [Your Name]." This shows you have noticed her before and introduces your intention.
- Suggest a Casual Meeting:
- As the reference suggests, you can say, "I'm [Your Name] and I saw you in [place] and wanted to be friends with you. Please have a coffee with me, and if at the end you do not want to meet me again, it's fine and I won't bother you again." This is a low-pressure way to suggest getting to know each other.
Why This Works
- Reduces Awkwardness: Directly addressing the "I don't know you" statement helps diffuse any potential tension.
- Shows Confidence: A confident introduction signals that you are not easily discouraged.
- Creates Opportunity: It opens the door for a conversation and potential connection.
- Non-Threatening: Suggesting a low-commitment meeting like coffee makes her feel more comfortable.
Dos and Don'ts
- Do be polite, friendly, and genuine.
- Do make eye contact and smile.
- Do respect her boundaries if she is not interested.
- Don't be overly pushy or demanding.
- Don't take it personally if she says no.
- Don't immediately start asking for personal information.
Example Scenarios
Here are a few examples of how these replies might play out:
| Scenario | Girl's Response | Your Response |
|---|---|---|
| You approach her at a coffee shop | "I don't know you." | "You're right, we haven't met yet. I'm [Your Name]. I saw you over here and I thought you looked interesting." |
| You approach her at a park | "I don't know you." | "Hi, I'm [Your Name]. I saw you walking and I thought you looked like someone I'd like to talk to, I wanted to be friends with you. Please have a coffee with me, and if at the end you do not want to meet me again, it's fine and I won't bother you again. " |
| You try talking to her at an event | "I don't know you." | "That's true, but I saw you across the room and I was hoping to introduce myself. I'm [Your Name]." |
By using these approaches, you can turn a potentially awkward moment into an opportunity to make a new connection. Remember, being respectful and confident is crucial.
