    If you're in the library at uni and you spot a cute girl at a table near you, find a bit of paper and pen and write something that should come across as charming but honest, not a chat up line. Maybe

    "Is there any chance you like guys brave enough to throw rubbish notes at a girl they think looks cute? "

    With the smiley face (bitches love smiley faces). If she's a good sport she'll write one back and you can let it flow from there.

    Obviously this won't work if you look like a foetus, but if you're average or above it might work. Maybe.

    I've experienced something like this the other day actually on a bus. I wanted to talk to her because I thought she was really attractive but I ended up keeping my mouth shut.

    I felt like a right idiot because it's happened before and it too left me with a feeling of regret.

    It always seems worst on a train, when you get off/she gets off and then you spend the rest of your journey thinking about it. :rolleyes:

    That's what I was doing. She got off the bus when I was only half way to my stop so I had about 10 minutes with just myself thinking of what could have been. One of the worst feelings in the world because you know you can't do anything about it!

    In terms of what I would do if I had the guts (something for the thread starter to try) I'd probably purposely drop my phone or wallet, pick it up and then comment on how clumsy I am and how I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on. If she laughs or comments, I'd keep the conversation going with her and eventually get to saying something on how nice I think she looks.

    Maybe mobile numbers could be exchanged by the end of it. If you do try this, let me know what happened!

    Well I'm going to try most of these things during the summer to see how successful I am. I've never done anything like this before because I'm probably too shy. But if I can do it than anyone can

    Depending on te environment you are in. For example ive got a number of a girl at a bus stop near my house.
    She was already there before i got there. Just started asking how long shes been there. From then it went to where we both going and i got to know that she actually lives not too far from me.

    I was in a shop ones with a friend (british). We both clocked this fine ass girl. He just stared and went about his business. I just took control and went up to her, (she was donwstairs, we were upstairs). She looked foreign atfirst, so i started with trying to guess what country she was from. seemed like she was british. In turn she guessed i was american and it got off from there.

    Ive been rejected ones, but i dont even call that a rejection because she had a bf but whatever.

    And lets not get me started at the train station or on the train, especially when im going london. Usually go there to visit friends

    We've all been there. Your walking down the street/public place when all of a sudden BOOM! You are suddenly faced by the most gorgeous boy/girl/etc you could imagine. Everything suddenly goes in slow motion and Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye starts to play in the back of your head. You stand there looking at this beauty like this :eek:/:sogood:/:coma: and you watch them walk away forever. And then you spend the next hour or so wishing you'd approached them or fantasisng about your dream life together.



    Its happened to the best of us (myself included). It probably happens to TSRians more than the average person seeing as so many of us seem to be socially retarded (not me of course :ninja:)



    It is also against the social norms to talk to strangers in public in case the stranger could be a rapist or a paedophile or a murderer. I myself have spent many train journeys sat in silence, staring lustfully into the eyes of the girl sitting opposite me (like this :drool:) while she stared back (like this:lolwut:). 'If only it wasn't against the social norms!' I think to myself 'Otherwise she would probably come over here to talk to me'. If only I had the appropriate skill to avoid social awkwardness and succeed in winning that girls phone number and her heart.



    May I present the 'How to approach random girls and/or boys in the street and/or public place Thread'. This thread should give the average xbox playing, redtube watching dysfunctional TSRian the necessary skills to succeed in real life situations.



    What I propose is everyone posts a different method of approaching a fe/male in public and posts their own experiences of it. Hopefully we should end up with a nice long list of ways to approach your desired sex in the street, so that you can get some :perv:



    To make things more interesting, I personally[SIZE="1"]1[/SIZE], shall 'test' the most popular methods[SIZE="1"]2[/SIZE] in real life and report back with my findings


    [SIZE="1"]1- I will test the most popular techniques in real life so that you don't have to. I will be the test dummy. However if anyone else would like to join the team of test dummies, you are very welcome to.
    2- Most popular methods within reason. If one of the most popular methods is to approach a girl in the street whilst waving my penis in her face, I will not do it.
    3- If you are thinking 'this thread is pathetic' or something along those lines, GTFO. If this thread helps even one person then it has been successful.[/SIZE]

    Tldr; post a method for approaching a stranger in the street (to get their phone number/ask them out) which you think would be successful. Be creative.
    Ive answered your question in my previous post. 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.

    Surely then she just thinks you're a cheating man who wears womens underwear?
    :teehee:
    She thinks you might be. But she's not sure enough to condem you. Hence you're mysterious, and mystery is attractive.

    It works. I've tried it.

    I should really make a deal with myself that the next girl I see who I think is cute, I will talk to her and not be stupidly nervous.

    Hope I don't do what Ricky Gervais does in this video from Extras though (towards the end)!

    Swag. Simple as that. From the way you dress to the way you talk and even walk.
    If you have a target in mind, who is sitting somewhere. Walk past her. Then wait a bit. Then walk staight up to her and say hi. From then you are in.

    If you are the type of person to talk for long, getting random girls aint that hard.
    Ive had long ass conversations with random people, sometimes i ask myself whether i talk too much

    Im no professional, its just that the people ive grown up with has helped me alot. Not to mention ive always gotten attention from girls since primary school, i must look okay ateast :teehee:

    In my opinion if a guy wants to approach a girl randomly in the street he should just say hi and maybe pretend you want to ask her a question about directions or something like that. If she seems friendly ask her her name, blah blah blah, then ask for number. Easy peasy.

    I think that the majority of girls will appreciate that it takes guts to start up a conversation with a total stranger. Even if they aren't really interested or have a boyfriend, it's still nice to be asked and it puts a smile on our face

    Only Americans can talk to strangers in the street. Its normal for them. Us brits, we do it and it's a bit perverted. But everyone in America, normal to walk up to a girl and say, Hi, your really beautiful...wanna have dinner?"

    None of you guys have a clue what you're talking about.

    If you want to bag yourself a woman, you must first invest in a marriage sack. Not a potato sack either. It needs to be quality material, but it also needs to be hard wearing in case she struggles or you need to drag her up stairs etc.
    Find a girl you like and personalise the sack. Use your embroidery skills to put her name on it, paint a picture of you putting her in her cage at night -make it a romantic gesture that let's her know she will be safe with you. Maybe bake her a cake, and make it extra special by mixing in some of your milk teeth; girls love it when guys are sensitive like that.
    Now comes the issue of bagging the girl. Approach her when she is alone. She will appreciate this because it is a personal moment, for just between you and her. It's not a good idea to have random bystanders/her friends/the police watching, as it will make her uncomfortable. Be calm, compose yourself and pop the question. If she says yes, congratulations! If not, she only needs persuasion. Show her what a strong and powerful man you are by wrestling her into the marriage sack and carrying her off to your love nest (if she says yes, it's the same procedure, but obviously she gets into the sack willingly).
    I realise that some of you may be novices to this technique, and help is at hand. Approach from behind (girls love surprises) with a rag soaked in chloroform. Pop the question, grab and then use the rag to make your woman literally weak at the knees. She simply won't be able to resist. For this scenario, it's best that she wakes in your love nest/basement chained to a radiator or something. Tell her it's for her own good, she'll probably be feeling a little reactionary and she doesn't want to do something she will regret (at this moment hold up a knife to remind her of all the lovely sandwiches she will get to make you).

    Voila! A foolproof method for bagging yourself a lady. let me know how it goes!
