Pick Up Lines

A couple of weeks ago as I was standing, bundled up, reading the Boston Metro on the platform of the T station, an older gent approached me. He might've been 55+. In my peripheral vision I saw him cheesing as he walked in my direction. He passed behind me, then walked as far as three feet away before he started moving in from the right, still cheesing, and started making conversation. Something about the weather, and if I was on my way to work, and THEN! Theeen, old gent boldly went where no man [I'm actually interested in] has gone before - he asked, at 8:30am on a workday, if I had time for coffee! I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't mad at his game, and it wasn't even a bad idea, but I definitely was not interested. What it really left me wondering was, why in the world aren't you teaching these swagalicious skills to the men of my generation??
