Have you cold approached a girl?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Does ChatRoulette count as cold approaching?

[northcrunk]

The key is to look out for any signals she is giving off. Women are sly about it, they'll casually just glance over and start playing with their hair or showing off their nails. That's usually your sign. Next time she looks over make eye contact and give her a smile, if she smiles back then go over and introduce yourself. Pick up lines don't work, just go over and be genuine and make sure to compliment her on your first line. Ask her questions about herself as most women love to talk and try to find some common ground. Don't come off pushy or upset if she says no.

You don't want it to be too cold ... or you won't impress them.

It's all been replaced by texts and emoticons. I actually envy the younger guys as it's so much easier to hook up than the old days when you had to rotary dial the girl's house to which here parents would pick up and ask who's calling.

I used to have lots of success at the "singles" Safeway on 8th, the old one.


I never had any issues or troubles talking to women.


In fact, if anyone that is young reads this, don't use tinder or other Apps, just walk up to her/him and strike up an conversation. I found that many times the girl would be happy that you came over to chat.

Yes allow me to illustrate, usually this has to take place on the last train of the evening

ahem



Me - "Asa Basa hahahahaha boobies?"



Her - "Ha Ha Ha, Lindsey Lohana pffftt"

Me - "Ba Ba He Sex"

Her - "Bleah, oskay"

The next morning



Me "Fuuuuuu"

LOL, I remember going to the pay phone down the road pre cell phone days and always sweating in fear that her folks would pick up and ask who was calling....

I do this from time to time. Sometimes i'll see a woman with a tatoo and I will make a comment and then ask for the history behind why she got it and what it means. It can be a great conversation starter that breaks the ice.

I don't know if it counts for myself, got sat next to my wife at a wedding. You're going to talk to your fellow table mates though. We were pretty much set up.

Yeah it was always such a relief when the girl would pickup and you could bypass the parents. You just knew after you hung up the parents would be grilling her on who you are, etc. Now that's not even an issue in the courting phase.

I saw this thing on ITV the other week,
Said, that if she played with her hair, she's probably keen
She's playing with her hair, well regularly,
So I reckon I could well be in.

ah it was easy

Ring ring

Dad - "Hello"

Me - "Is so and so there"

Dad - "Look you punk, I told you to leave my daughter alone, quit calling her"

Me - "Put her on the damn phone old man or I'll rip your face off and sew it on inside out so that you can look at yourself all day"

That's right chicks dig the bad boys.

[northcrunk]

I used to carry a sketchbook around with me when I worked at the airport, chicks dig art and it was a great conversation starter. Also ignoring women works well too. If I saw a girl noticing me I would ignore her for a while and then make eye contact and smile, gets them thinking about you. When your in a relationship it works well too unless the girl is crazy. If you miss a call or two and call back 15 minutes later they will spend the 15 minutes after she call thinking about why you didn't pick up.

He was average looking but has a very nice smile. Looked a bit shabby, jeans, polo shirt and a raincoat. Raining heavily here today.

If I had to guess, he's in IT cause they have a less-stringent dress code. I would also guess he's 25-30.

[FlamesAddiction]

I have, but it's all about the environment. I'm not sure that I would on a train though.

[DoubleF]

I've never cold approached a girl on a bus or train, but I felt bus stops or train platforms were fair game. On a train or bus just seemed a little creepy IMO.

Social gatherings and pubs? Yeah, I'll cold approach. But it's not as "daring" as transit for sure.

As soon as I started reading this, it came out like Jabba the Hutt was talking. Hope that was intentional!

Even a mere mention of that SNL sketch always makes me laugh. Priceless and timeless.
