You think you're hiding your emotions well, but in reality, only two people are unaware of your intent—she pretends not to know, and you genuinely don't realize she knows. Be generous; never doubt a woman's sensitivity in this regard. Being secretive will only make girls look down on you.
Therefore, you must think of a good reason in advance and then segue into the main topic in just a few sentences. This reason should ideally involve a strong need. Being needed can greatly stimulate vanity, making them feel valued and more willing to take action. If you genuinely have no needs, you can fulfill theirs instead.
Moments ago, Han Lie had deftly handled both aspects—fulfilling her needs while also stating his own. Truly clever.
One last key point: be assertive. Assertive doesn't mean brusque. Don't be like some 'President Han' type who opens with, "Woman, you should be thankful for the opportunity I'm giving you." Absolutely not!
