ClueChick: real clues from a real chick

I've been traveling a lot the past few weeks, which has occasioned spending more than my usual amount of time in airports, and, in particular, in the cafes and hangout spots of airports, waiting for my flight. This has given me an opportunity to observe airport pickup techniques, as well, and here's my conclusion:

The airport is not a good place to pick someone up. Okay, you want to kill some of your waiting time flirting with the cute chick sitting next to you? Great. But don't get invested. First off, no one hangs out at the airport for fun. We're all there because we're on our way somewhere or other, and we're probably cranky about not being there, yet, anyway. Then, of course, there's the fact that if you do hit it off, there's nowhere to go. Unless you're a same sex pairing, in which case, you can duck into the bahroom, airports provide painfully few options for a quickie. And, of course, you and the object of your lust are almost certainly headed in different directions.

On the other hand, flirting is a kick, and not a bad way to pass the time.
