There are several. Let’s say you meet an attractive pair of twins. First of all, it’s damn near impossible to tell Tracey and Stacey apart. You don’t want to be the idiot that keeps asking over and over “Now which one are you?”. It seems as if they are constantly together so you have to talk to both. And let’s be honest, first attraction is usually physical attraction (Hey, she’s/he’s hot!) but they look the same! How do you single one out to try and get to know one of them? If you do, the other one will surely feel rejected and then be a gremlin in the ear of their sibling telling them what an ass you are.
Get small crayon and hide it in the palm of your hand. Now, tell Stacey she has something on her cheek. Wipe it off with the crayon. Now you can tell them apart!
Easy.
You must look closer. I know one set of identical twins and one of them has a freckle on his nose. Usually I scope out which one is which by the freckle, then remember what clothes each is wearing. I never told them my ‘secret’, and they think it’s pretty cool that I can tell them apart when so many can’t. I cannot tell them apart on the phone, though.
Heres a strategy I just now came up with. In their relationship I would imagine one of the twins might feel inferior to the other. Maybe she didn’t get as much attention, got ignored by a cute guy who went for her sister, whatever. Try and pick up on which one feels inferior and go for her, your chances are much better. Damn that sounds shallow…
I had a class once with twins. One of them usually wore more makeup than the other. Of course, by the time I got figuring out which was which, I was staring so hard they thought I was ogling them. Which I was. They were cute.
Well, it sounds crazy, but you could try talking to them. They might actually have different personalities, and you might click with one of them more than the other. At which point, you could ask that one for her phone number and try to go on a date with her.
Nuts. OK, I’ll try again without the obnoxiousness (I’m sick, so my playful sarcasm keeps getting mixed up with my crossness):
With twins, as with a group of female friends, there’s no reasonable way to cull one from the herd unless you’re in a club and can ask one of them to dance or something. So you’ve just got to talk to the whole group, and hope that something clicks with one of them.
Do twins you know often dress alike? I ask because I’m dating an identical twin, and frankly he and his brother have found ways to differentiate each other.
Stephen (my BF) is slimmer and dyes his hair purple, while Charles grows a beard and leaves his hair dark-blond. They don’t dress or talk anything alike, and their body language is completely different. I tell them apart easily even when friends they’ve known for ten years still call them by the wrong name.
Hey! I’ve got two cute twin girls. WATCHA DOING HITTING ON MY DAUGHTERS! Oh, wait, mine are 13. Not identical. You are 1600 miles away. :smack:
I would try finding out their interests. If you can’t bring yourself to talk directly to them, ask a friend. I can’t imagine someone turning down a polite request along the lines of “Look, I really like Kris and Tris. But, I can’t figure out which one I like more. Which one likes/is more likely to like [insert one of your interests that is not sex]?” And then try to arrange joining them in that activity. Or, find out which one has a boyfriend.
