Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadAmerican girls probably wouldn't be so antagonistic against british guys, they'd be too busy drooling over the accent...(Original post by Tsukuyomi)
Also ive noticed that, british girls are more forgiven if they know the guy aint british. Almost as if they dont trust british guys or they are generally paranoid by british guys. -

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadHey,
Great thread btw Lewroll xD
Just wanted to say, I'm shy as hell too, but yeah have had a few instances when just starting up simple conversation does the trick.
At Haven once (a long time ago) I approached a girl on the premise that we came from similar areas, thus i struck up conversation and got her msn - while having a bit of fun (was wearing a silly, golden wig
).
Another instance, i was in Spain, and there was a reeeealy gorgeous girl walking around (in the hotel btw), i eventually plucked up the courage to approach her and got a bit jittery but managed to get her facebook somehow
even though nothing came from either of these attempts, i got kudos from my dad (when i told him, he was impressed xD) and from friends + a great boost to confidence.
Honestly, I am definately no pro, i was ****ting my pants on both occasions O.o but was certainly worth a go
tl;dr have a go, nothing to lose

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadI jumped on a train at Waterloo this morning at stood next to this cute girl. There was no way I was going to speak to her, but at the same time, the thought of regretting speaking to her all day sucked. So I pulled out my phone and wrote...
"Because it's socially unacceptable to speak to people on the train I'm having to resort to this. I think you're cute and wondered if you'd like to go out for a drink sometime?"
...and waved it in her face. She read it, smiled at me, then took my phone and wrote her number and name on it.
Spoiler:ShowOK this would have happened if I had balls.

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' Threadshe would have taken the piss because you wrote 'result' when you meant 'resort' rendering your sentence nonsensical.(Original post by Panda Bear)

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadI spoke to a random fit guy at uni today. We were both waiting for the shop to open. He had smiled at me - but then the silence was awkward. I used what material I could to start a conversation...
There was a poster on the wall next to me, it said 'Lincoln Gay Outdoors Club'!! So, i said to fit boy..
'Did you know we have a gay outdoors club?'
He said 'no'
I said, 'aha! ...i might join!'
He said 'Really? :s '
I said 'No..'
FAIL! I then decided i really didnt need a bottle of water, and walked away.. -

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadActually i once bumped into this guy i thought was fit on purpose looked up with a frown on my face as if to say watch where you're going, tilted my head, relaxed out of the frown and went 'nyeh' while jokingly looking himm up and down. Grinned cheekily, winked and started to walk way. Ended up with a free coffee and a good friend by the end of the week.(Original post by TheGodfather1)
bumping someone only works in movies. In real life people will be pissed off if you bump them
