These gals that you fine gentlemen speak of, I find by accident most times. I, being from Texas, am naturally friendly. My go to opening phrase is "How you doin'?" spoken in the inflection of Joey on the TV show
Friends. Goofy? Yes. Stupid? Yes... But it makes me giggle inside. (FWIW I'm in the 40ish crowd and DGASA)
Ballys. 7:00am. I'm up early and go down to grab a coffee. I get off of the elevators and start walking thru the slots aisle and am met by a 6 foot ebony goddess coming the other direction. I, of course, say "How you doin'?" as I am passing. She was dressed very conservatively, but absolutely gorgeous. She does a 180 and says "I'm doin' fine, how are you doin?" I say "wonderful" but "I'm just having black coffee this morning"..... to which she smiles and says "have a great day" does another 180 and disappears.
Rio. 3:00am. I'm headed to the room after a long night in the pits. (-EV I know, but craps is fun!) I see 2 young blonds that appear to be waiting for the elevators. I issue the "how you doin'" line thinking we will be on the same ride up to be friendly. One of them says "We aren't waiting on the elevators, but if you need an escort up to your room, we'll each take an elbow." I briefly think about discussing price before i remember my GF is in my room and politely say "I think I can manage on my own." and.... well I mentioned this the next morning to my GF and she said "good call." Prude!
Flamingo. 11:00pm. Plaing VP with my GF at Bugsy's Bar. Decent looking young woman sits down next to me and pops a fiver into the machine to play and get a drink. I obviously can't help myself and turn to her and say "how you doin'?" to which she looks over at me and asks "do you need a date?" I say, without missing a beat, "I did, but you got here 10 minutes too late" and nod towards my GF. She grabs her drink, cashes out and leaves.
I am obviously not very good at this game
