This needs to become my mantra

[vapplega]

If you're in a situation
..where don't know what to do,
Do to those around you
..what you would have them do to you,

Don't stand at the wall and stare at them all
..wondering why they don't come a-greeting.
They are no different from you
..and are afraid too, their egos will get a beating.

So set your sights on a man who delights
..and think it for a moment through,
How would you want to be approached by him
..if only he were you?

Wouldn't you want his confidence to show
..with a smile and a good handshake.
Nobody wants a poor, poor pitiful me
..hanging around, for heaven's sake.

So go up and present yourself with confidence,
..friendly, but forthright.
And remember he is just as nervous as you
..meeting you tonight.

Introduce yourself and ask how he is tonight
..or some other general question you might try.
And make your conversation about him [IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM]
..but dont push until you pry

Only you can fill in the specifics
..each time you are out on the town,
But practice putting yourself in his place,
..and see if you don't turn your life around.
