Have you cold approached a girl?

Could be a single dad.

Regardless if you are attached or not, women love babies and flock to them.

3. You're godfather of the baby, just a single, lonely guy, caring for it after the tragic death of its parents in a car accident.

I'm assuming a bar doesn't count and doing it when you're drunk doesn't count?

Then no. That takes some big balls without a conversation starter. Ive talked to random girls in public before and there was a couple times I probably should have asked for a number and chickned out or was dating someone at the time but there was always a reason to talk. Either something outrageous happening that warranted a comment or one of us dropping something... etc. I dont think I ever just started talking to a girl out of the blue while sober. If I did, it couldn't have gone too well since I dont remember...

Good on the guy though.

I did it at a Jane's Walk last year and got a number and date. Cool women (I find) are pretty flattered when someone asks them for their number

I did have a girl try to pick me up out of the blue when I worked retail a few years ago. I felt like an ass turning her down but I was dating someone and .... well yeah. Not one to write home about.

I met my girlfriend the good ol' fashioned way - both of us drunk at a bar completely sloshed. I take extra pride in knowing that I managed that feat when she was out with the hens in full girlfriend-gang mode. Needless to say, I pretty much moved them all out of the way to the side Moses/water style with my mysterious good looks and irresistible charm (at least from what I remember).

Years ago I was a groomsman in a buddies wedding, we were doing photos at the Bay in Sunridge (where the husband and wife worked and met) and one of the girls working there in the perfume department started chatting with me. Straight up gave me her number at the end of our conversation.

I did the ol' 3 day rule before calling and she actually freaked out when she found out how young I was at the time (24) and it went no farther than that.

this is soooooooooo true!!

i can't believe the number of women that come and strike up conversations with me when i'm at the park with my little girl - it's crazy!

even when we go to superstore it's nuts! my wife and i usually split the shopping list up so we can get out of there as fast as possible. i'll usually have the buggy with jordan in it (see below) and i always have ladies stop and talk to me.

Spoiler!

Fricken' tinder is such a cheat compared to the old days.. the only hard part about it I imagine is after the deed is done guessing what STD you gave each other.

"No you go first!"
"no you!"
"no you!!!"
"haha, ok, Herpes!!!"

You forgot Line #5:

"No way! I have Herpes too!"

Well sure.

When you have tattoos, especially if you have a LOT of tattoos, they're going to have meaning of varied importance. It's not that all questions are bad questions, it's that SOME questions are bad questions.

Good questions shouldn't be too personal:
What's that? (Well, unless it's obvious haha)
Where'd you get it?/Who did it?

Compliments or casual comments are nice:
I like your tattoo!
Your tattoos are very interesting!

Bad questions are nosey and presumptuous:
What do your tattoos mean?
Why did you get that?

There are exceptions of course. If you're in a conversation about the tattoos and things get personal, that's fine! As well, a question like "Do your tattoos mean anything?" Can be perfectly fine, but if the answer is "yes" or "some of them" it's not an invitation to ask "What?"

It's just a matter of politeness really. It's like asking a person about their clothes. If someone came up to you and asked "Why do you think you look good in jeans?" or "What did you get that hair cut?", it's not necessarily a RUDE question, but it's a weird and off-putting question, and you look kind of weird asking it. Mostly, tattoo etiquette has been all confused thanks to tattoo shows where every tattoo is prefaced by a backstory about it's meaning and all that.

BUT: back to enjoying the hilarity of this thread.

On the inside... actually, I pretty much am a bitch and I am fully willing to admit that. It's not that I am extremely difficult to date it's that I have a very low tolerance for bull####. That's why I give props to the guys who actually approach me. Even my best friends said before they actually had a conversation with me, "I thought you hated me." ... Uh, nope.

I have been hit on a lot when I drive my truck. I have a nice truck but 99% of the guys who hit on me have THE WORST PICKUP lines. Saying "you have a really nice truck, can I have your number?" will not work. Or "I really hope that's not your boyfriends truck."

All aboard the 69 train! CHOO CHOO!

I'd walk up to your truck, adjust my fanny pack, look you in the eye and say "you'd look a lot cuter in a Car2Go."

I'm terrible at meeting and breaking the ice with girls, usually panic sets in and I start going full Bouwmeester. Unless girls like that now - then it falls right into my wheelhouse.

So you like guys who are upfront and honest and mean what they. Just take a chance and please do away with the corny pickup lines and such. And don't try to be someone you're not just to try and please me. Be confident in who your are and open and honest about how you feel. That way we always know where each other stands with out all the guessing games.

Am I right?
