Apparently all these stories have left the impression that I am a playboy. I don't want to discuss this in great detail on this forum, but please let me clear up that misconception. I really enjoy talking to people (not just girls) and that includes flirting with them (not just girls, just ask Istvan

). I also travel a lot and meet a lot of people that way. Many of these people have a very open personality like me and flirt with me just as well. And when you stay at a hostel and don't sleep for nights in a row conversations tend to go a little deeper then "where are you from, where are you going, what is your name, nice weather isn't it?"
A lot of people that see me cubing somewhere want to approach me and ask me questions, but at the same time they often think I will be geeky and "not capable of a proper conversation". A simple "hi there" would have also started the conversation, but probably on a more formal/polite level which I don't like. By using a witty pickupline that can be interpreted in different ways the receiver can choose which way he/she wants to continue the conversation.
So just to clear up this playboy thing and give people an indication of the succes:fail ratio I "guestimated" a couple of things
Succes:fail ratio of starting a good/fun conversation is almost 100%
Succes:fail ratio of going on a "traditional" date is about 3%
Succes:fail ratio of sleeping (and I
do mean just sleeping) with the girl(s) is about 2% (not counting the girl in Atlanta that just climbed into my bed)
Succes:fail ratio of doing more than sleeping is absolutely 0% because I don't believe in that outside a relationship. (I reserve the right to change my mind about this at any time)
and finally:
Succes:fail ratio of transferring the interest of the girl to Erik is 100%
