"Mistakes can sometimes be fun. How to start a conversation. This is Doctor Paul, author of Boomer Girls: A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Doctor Paul. Well, I had a call from a woman on my show and she said that a guy walked up to her and said Linda, Linda, how are you? And she said, oh my name is Suzy. You're serious, your name is Suzy? And he - she said yeah, oh I really am so sorry, you look so much - you know it's a very attractive woman, you could be her sister. I haven't seen her for a few years but I thought you were her. That was smooth. That wasn't a mistake, he did that on purpose. And she thought it was cool. Now it worked for him. So that's a way to start a conversation sometimes by a purposeful mistake. And it works a lot. I mean you can ask people questions that are way off base, for example in a supermarket. Do they have frozen raccoon in this supermarket? I mean of course they don't have, but opening a conversation has to be the unusual. That works every time. I've seen it happen on subways, I've seen it happen at airports, in fact a woman called and said she was out of the country and she was at an airport, and a guy walked up and there were a number of beauty contestants there. And he said you better catch your plane because the beauty contestants are all being called for that flight. And she smiled and said, well I'm not a beauty contestant, and of course he did that on purpose. It was quote unquote a mistake, right. Well it worked for him and they got to know each other pretty well. That's how you start a conversation. This is Doctor Paul, may your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow."
