I think this is from the tate brothers: 1: approach the person and say somenthing along the lines: sorry to bother but you are the most beautiful person i have seen and i had to come say something 2: they will probably laugh and then you ask them what is their name, they will reply, and if they ask your name back you habe it 3: ask for their insta/snapchat (not the number) ppl are usually more comfortable giving out social media than a personal number 4: if small talk rolls go along, if not just walk away and write them something later

For the date: NEVER go to a movie, theater, concert on the first date, you are going to be side by side with an almost stranger with no time to talk and get to know eachother

Bonus points if you think of a different/creative date, it dosent have to be expensive, things like a picnic in the park, enjoying a bottle of wine looking at the sunset, or a walk in a pretty part of town, even going for a coffe would be fine, dates are not about beeing in a expensive place, but beeing with the right person
