Avoiding Awkwardness

This super hot young woman comes up to me today while I was sitting along the promenade. She holds this nice digital SLR camera out to me, smiles and says, "Photo?" I could have assumed she wanted a picture of the 2 of us together but that camera would have been hard to hold out and do a self portrait. Anyway, I happily take the camera from her, she poses against the seawall and I take this picture with a beautiful sunset behind Nice and this this hot young woman. I return the camera to her, she smiles and fumbles saying "thank you," then continues on her way.

I'm glad I didn't have any idea how to communicate with her because it allowed me to just take the picture and have her walk away without any attempt at awkward conversation. Next time a beautiful woman approaches me in the states (because, you know, it happens ALL the time) instead of being awkward, I will pretend to speak French.
