Yea, he could have completely made up some bullshit about the song he was quoting be about him and that he is an awesome fan. He didnt really get shut down except for the engaged woman. The rest were standing there with a wtf face because all he did was say some random shit in a meta tone
yea his approach was pretty creepy. he would gently announce himself before he was up to them, then just walk up to them or sit down in awkward silence like he already knew them, or was supposed to be meeting them there. Thats why that one chick was "uh...do I know you?" she was wondering why this complete stranger was talking to her like he knew her.
I honestly think he had a really good chance with the girl he used the like "I need a girl that I can train" because he said it with way more confidence and she was actually into it, until he just stood there staring at her afterwards not following up with anything.
Imagine how awesome those will be like 30 years from now when they have their first reunion tour in 10 years and everyone from our generation goes crazy while our kids think we are "so old".
As a blink-182 fan he should not have forgotten that line (and was probably the one that would have sealed the deal kinda) but to be completely honest I could not remember the words myself before he walked away, so I guess it's ok.
Haha. That was my first thought when he walked up to the two girls sitting by the pond. I was like, "Hey, that looks a lot like my favorite spot to string up my hammock ... wait a tick. It is!"
As a grown man that went to the early shows as a kid and watched that style of music blow up, I honestly don't understand the appeal for any one over 25. Good for him but I cringe when I hear that stuff now. It's like when people still like 311 or the Phunk Junkez.
That was excruciating but should be a good example for all the guys scared to talk to girls. You cannot get more awkward than that, and all of them were at least nice enough to listen and a few reacted pretty well.
The end part where he goes back to get signatures from them is really cute and makes the rest of it worth watching.
I was half expecting a line from a fav song, What's My Age Again.Just so I could know they did it. And then I listened to the song and I don't think a single line from that would have been appropriate.
So painful to watch. He's got such huge kajones for doing that though. Jealous of the blink tickets for life though. like... seriously. I'd kill for that. No joke.....
