This has worked for me and it doesnt even matter if they know who they are, because honestly, ive used it a bunch and at least half the time they dont. If they say kirk, make fun of her for choosing a lame captain, if they choose han, make fun of her for liking a guy with a sheepdog for a sidekick. Either way, you can playfully neg her to get her smiling. If the girl says she doesnt know who they are you can also playfully neg her for being dumb, lol.; ▶ Reply to This

I know who you've been looking for.
I know you haven't found her yet.
You're looking for the woman you thought you'd be by now.
If you look close, you'll find her in my eyes.

What do you guys think?; ▶ Reply to This

I call it "the stare". In the episode Dracula manages to disarm and seduce Buffy into nearly making her his slave. So I thought that it might actually work in real life. Basically what you do is get eye contact but look through her into her soul. Listen to everything she has to say then tell her to do something specific and simple like move her hair or put her drink down. Interrupting her is actually a good thing. Never break eye contact, and maintain a very calm and powerful composure. I tried it out one day at school to a few random people and it held about a 70 percent effective rate. It still needs some fine tuning, but it seems to work well. As a caution, this can easily come off as creepy if not calibrated properly both in intent and time.; ▶ Reply to This
