Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadThis is so true!! About a year ago there was a guy crying a bit on the train and I regret so much nottalking to him, even now I think about that day and about him. Isn't that weird. And now I totally will talk to any teary males. We girls just can't help it!(Original post by littlebluesocks)
You know, I can genuinely see this working- probably not as a way to get into bed with her immediately, but if a guy started crying next to/on me, I'd talk to them and see if I could help... it could work as an ice breaker... though then you'd need to come up with something worthy of crying in public over... -

This is a great way to talk to someone without freaking them out. Its socially acceptable to talk to strangers in two situations (according to Michael Mcintyre). The first being to ask the time. The second is when you are asking for directions. This technique focuses on the 2nd.
Guy (notices hot girl in a public place). Approaches her from the front with a friendly smile
You: Excuse me do you know how to get to [Insert bull**** place you don't really want to go to]
Girl: Yeah what you wanna do is take a left at BLAH BLAH BLAH
Guy (pretend to listen, maybe even nod and ask the occasional question to make it look realistic- keep eye contact (not creepy))
Guy: Thanks a lot
Girl: Its ok (turns to walk away)
Guy: Oh one more thing. I didn't actually stop you to ask you directions, I just wanted an excuse to talk to you as I think you look amazing/beautiful
Girl: Reeeeaally??
Guy:
See with this technique the girl isn't freaked out by your approach as she wasn't expecting it. She was already comfortable talking to you as she had already spoken to you for a moment previously.
This is all theory of course. Hasn't yet been tested... O_O -

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadTo be perfectly honest, if a guy who was a similar age to me came over to talk to me, I wouldnt immediately assume he was a murderer/rapist/whatever. All you've got to do is go over and say 'hi, i saw you over here so i thought i'd come say hello', and just start a general chit chat conversation.
If he was say 40 and over i'd think he was a bit creepy and perverted but with people your own age i think you're on safe ground -

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadI always thought girls were cautious when they are out. Especially as it is unusual for strangers to talk to each other, wouldn't a lot of people be like(Original post by Lexi99)

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadTechniques and lines don't work. You can look at all PUA videos all you like and not get anywhere. Approaching girls is like good jazz. Improvised.

may be able to approach girls with ease because we are cool and sexy. But average Joe may not be so lucky. I thought seeing as threads like this are popular, we could make one big one so people can get some sort of tip, so that they don't freak the girl out and look like a douche.
All social skills can be learnt. -

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadAPPARENTLY, a three second rule is useful when picking up girls. Like, as soon as you see a girl, you have to decide in three seconds whether or not to go and chat her up, and then walk over. Any longer, and the idea that you're a socially awkward creep will have begun to take root in her subconscious. Like I said, APPARENTLY.

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadI used to get really down and think the problem is me, but I look at it this way:(Original post by LadyLondoner)
One question: how do you guys deal with rejection?
Why would I want to be with someone who is a stuck up bitch anyway? What if she's the one with the problem and she's too uptight and shy? I know loads of people who don't have a problem with me so why is she the only one who has a problem? Loads more fish in the sea.Last edited by jblackmoustache; 24-04-2011 at 14:39. -

Re: The 'How to Approach Random Girls in the Street' ThreadTbh i'd say that humour/personality overrides looks for me, but for any human being, looks are remotely important, for me, i care 30% looks, 70% personality.(Original post by Obadetona)
