Would that line work if I was more handsomer, or was it just a bad approach? Too controversial?
It was pure garbage doomed to fail and that wasn't even close the worst possible outcome for your ill advised tactic. Do better.

Not everyone is a history geek.
Anthony Howard
Do you think it's cause she didn't like me questioning the official story? Do most women accept the Lone Gunman account and dismiss dissenters as "conspiracy nuts"?
Isaac Bennett
I don't think it knew who any of those people were.
Gabriel Butler
What kind of train wreck of a flirting line is that? You had already failed before you even said the line, user
Adrian Rodriguez
She was probably just creeped out because you're such an ancient geezer.
Elijah Green
Penis works good too
Logan Edwards
"user, do you want your receipt?" "Depends, if you put your number on it"
Grayson Bennett
I would have punched you in the face and asked you to leave the premises
Lucas Wright
This motherfucker seriously said that shit in a public place?
Josiah Parker
Not a geezer, just basic high school US history education. And she was in her mid-20s. No, maybe she wants more than just some weak dialogue.
So I thought of this elaborate playacting. I have a skinny friend in my astronomy class. He might pass for the alleged assassin. I'm think I get him to go in on her shift and say his name is "Lee". (Hopefully that won't tip her off too soon). Then I show up dressed like Jack Ruby and attack him. I won't brandish a fake gun in public. I'm not stupid. But I could raise my coffee, yell
"Oswald, you rat!"
And splash it on his chest. I'd use cold coffee so I won't hurt him. Maybe Ruby would find the prank amusing and appreciate the commitment, flattered.
Yeah, good luck on that, but I wouldn't count on it
Adam Gutierrez
if she considered you attractive, she would have found your awkward conversation "kinda cute" probably
Isaiah Scott
What it really comes off as is, "hmm name ruby, what do i have in my brain that's related to that" and then grasping at straws to be relatable.
Her name isn't as fucking novelty to her as it is to you so stop feeding any credit to the fact that playing it up is going to work.
Nathan Lewis
You would have had better luck telling her you're a faggot
Joseph Edwards
Well I could say something cliche and predictable like,
"Hello Ruby...my precious jewel."
But she probably gets that all the time. This was about standing out. And demonstrating that I know my history.
Liam Wright
It's just self-directive. It turns a thing about her - her name - into a thing about you - some tidbit of knowledge you have.
At no point did you imply any sort of interest in her as a person, nor did you outright say that you're attracted to her so it's just creepy.
She's also at work, at the register. Generally an inappropriate place to talk a girl up esp. now that you fucked things up. I say move on. Ask questions next time.
Logan Murphy
only works if she's a bigger sperglord than you... and a trap
Landon Mitchell
Good points. I get that hitting on a girl at work is not a good idea in general, but I don't know. I'd hope she'd consider it more of a lame joke than actually creepy.
Icebreakers though. What else did I know about her? She had this little pin, piece of flair that said,
"How is it going to end?"
I guess I could have played off that ("I've been wondering that myself."), but it might be political (How are we getting Trump out of office, etc.) and I don't want to go there.
Jonathan Harris
>do you want your receipt? >not saying "only with your number on it"
You're a failure op. Might as well not even go back to that coffee shop again...
Aiden Ortiz
No, why would you think he did?
Colton Clark
Seems like you'd need a Jack Kennedy level if charm to pull off a line like that.
Ryder Flores
Too rando
Dominic Bennett
Possible. So I've been thinking of asking my Nana, a pleasant old lady, to chat Ruby up at work when I'm not there. Something like,
"Oh, Ruby. That reminds me of Jack Ruby. You know, he shot the man who shot the president. I remember, I was about your age..."
Etc. So now Ruby realizes a trend, finds out more about who she was named for, and the reference is normalized in her mind.
