If you're going to fail, fail fast

That’s good advice. Recently a guy applied it to trying to pick up my sister Grace. His approach went like this (and Grace, please correct me if I get part of it wrong…) [I’ve since edited it for accuracy]:
Guy: Excuse me… you look good.
Grace: Thank you.
Guy: What’s your name?
Grace: Grace.
Guy: You married?
Grace: Yes.
Guy: [turns around and walks away]
Nice.
