Pickup Lines!

After talking to my friend here, Katie, I determined I need to pick up women the Ecuadorian man style of approach. Whenever I come back to the United States, I need to be taken to a bar. There I need to test my Ecua-guy pickup skills. Here is how the whole conversation (on my end) would work out:
1. Hello.
2. How are you?
3. What's your name?
4. Where are you from?
5. Are you married?
6. No, do you have a boyfriend?
7. Why don't you have any children?
8. I own 4 hectacres of land, I can show you sometime!
Where it goes after #7 I do not really know. It probably is borderline offensive or unbelievable. Complete strangers, out of the blue. Do you think this approach would go over well in the States? How many slaps in one night? Turn downs? Jaws dropped? Men here are so blunt about their pick up skills to the women, I think they have a test back when they are little. They memorize all of those above questions and hope the die end up on lucky seven. Just promise me, if/when I come back to visit in the States, I try this out in a bar one night. I need to report back my success or failure rate.

Two other notes- For the next week or so I will be in the southern part of the country forThanksgiving, so if something is in the mail for me (mom and Rachel) I will let you know when I get back if they arrived. Second note, apparently some trick when sending mail is checking off the little ¨Documents¨ box on the little slip you fill out at the post office in the US.
