Self sabotage

Today, I was drawing while on the train, when a very good-looking woman looked at my work and said, "Wow, she's pretty. Is it supposed to be me?" She'd said it in a flirty tone, but before I could stop myself, I'd said, "Nah, it's just a generic face." FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Same thing different taste

Get your foot out your mouth and say "this one doesn't compare to you", you're welcome.

As an artist, this would turn me on

You should have followed up with, "Besides, I could never capture your beauty in a picture. But I'd like to try, if you'd allow me to." Then give her number

Oh well. Next time. Everything happens for a reason right?

Man, being able to say something good in that situation is hard.

you could have added "but if you join me at *bar or restaurant nearby* I can draw you if you want.

I would like to see that comment back in the day with kings and queens.. .

Your opening line that it was a generic face was good you should have then said but I'll draw you if you like. You then draw a really quick stick figure and title it moderately attractive girl on train. Do this with a big smile on your face. I know it sounds counter intuitive but trust me it'll get her laughing.

dude you could of turned that around and simply said "sit down let me show you how good I can really draw"
