Don't you love those situations where all the work is done for you, and you just have to know the right way to reply to a given comment. The moments where you can reply on your wit and wisdom to game girls, as opposed to courage or spontaneous action. I think I've gotten to like them a bit too much, as I'll explain why.
For example, I remember before a girl commented on how I'd a mild Cork accent. She said "it's cute". I replied "it's cute, or I'm cute?" as I got nearer. This led to us kissing. Now if she hadn't said that, I don't know if we'd have even kissed. I wasn't even aware that we had been flirting up until that point! Anyway, here's another example from the man himself. Go straight to the 2:42ish mark.

Only Connery would think to say that! So little, and so effective. And of course its largely to do with the fact he doesn't "need it". But I think I've gotten to like the rare Connery moments that I have a bit too much! Because sometimes it happens to me, where someone will say something, and instead of responding fast, I'll be thinking along the lines of "I know there's some great joke I could make based on what she just said... if I just had the time!" And it's not that I don't know not to leave too much dead air space. The key thing here, is that if at such a point in time, someone else says something before I respond, then it'll look like I was just going to say nothing. And another thing I think I may have learned, is that it's far more important to just respond quickly at the start of interactions... and if you've (however many) been talking for a few minutes, then it's okay to take a bit longer with your responses. Simple responses like 'yes' or 'no' are good enough. I guess I'm more saying this to myself. This is sometimes the way my mind thinks! Perhaps it comes from a fear that the conversation mightn't have enough momentum.
The other night I had a Sean Connery moment, where one girl who I'd been talking to (who was amongst three girls), asked me which one of them was the best looking. I took a very quick look at all of three of them before saying "I don't want to be rude". That really confused them in a good way. If I answered, I'd sort of have looked stupid. But I had been sure to show them that I'd had a thought about which one of them was the best looking!
Connery is cool, but I think his style can't really be relied on. It's great when certain ques are given, so you can bring in your witty remarks. But there are times (and it's getting rarer), when all I can think to say is "would you like to kiss me?"
