Say "Hi". It is the easiest of many ways. It works 100% of the time for me.

smile at her (make sure ur teeth are brushed!!! lol). Its very warming when someone smiles at u, in a nice way. Glance over now and then, if you make eye contact at least twice and she smiles too...go over and say hi. whatsup dudette . lol.

yeah, hi and a smile tends to work most of the time. guess you could offer her a drink or something if you were really worried...

good luck whatever way you try though eh? :biggrin:

If you want to be approachable, relax.

Make sure your shoulders aren't raised (making you look anxious), or slumped (making you look bored and moody).
If you stand with you ankles locked you appear "closed," so stand properly, with your feet a few inches apart, not completely together.
DO NOT CROSS YOUR ARMS! lol worst thing you can do. It creates a barrier. Yes, I know it's comfortable. But seriously, teach yourself not to.
Putting your hands in your pockets makes you seem secretive because your palms are hidden.
Don't look down at the floor, there are more interesting things to see!
Make eye contact, and smile. :biggrin:
Fiddling with something like a ring, or hair, or your sleeve will give you away as nervous.

Above all, be yourself. Don't use chatup lines!
Hope I helped :smile:

Listen! It's not that complicated. Girls aren't infallable, superhuman creatures. In fact, most of us are nice. Just find something, anything, the two of you have in common and make a brief comment about it. Have a class together? You say: "That test was terrible!" Like her comment about something? You say: "Hey, I really liked what you said about..." Most girls like to talk anyway so just begin. Don't be all like "Will you go out with me?" Because you'll creep her out. Cheers!:smile:

mrt84, I've noticed that over the past few weeks you have started a lot of similar threads about trying to meet people, make friends, get a girlfriend, etc :smile: I think you will just keep getting the same advice each time you ask, so it's probably your best bet to just get out there and put some of it into practise!
Raise and lower your eyebrow quickly and smilethen continue doing whatever you were doing as if you couldn't care less. However, apart from being good looking there isn't much u can do.
Instead of posting another pointless thread, I'll just comment on this one.

I feel like **** at work, no one talks to me (unless work related and very seldomly). :frown:

Is there a way to make a girl talk to me? or at least initiate contact?

say hi. gets a reaction 100% of the time, ranging from "hey yourself stranger" to her running away screaming.

Like, in terms of body language. I know that it should be me who does this but worth a try anyway.... *hides*

smile. not scarily or goofily, but just smile. if she blushes or smiles back, say hi. if she looks very disinterested, walk away.
Get the Fonz Factor.

:confused:
:ditto:

Just smile sweetly and wait for a reaction. You can't go wrong there :smile:

There, there. It's ok. Just don't wait for people to validate you. You have to feel confident enough about yourself to strike up conversations with other people. A lot of people in the world are busy worrying about themselves. You be the one to show kindness first.:smile:
Just get your knob out

Don't be overly nice though, those sorts freak me out, maybe that's just me though.

Plus you can't make anyone talk to you, you have to be confident. If you're not confident with yourself how do you expect others to be. Even if it's fake confidence you still give off a vibe which will make you more approachable. Moaning about it on a forum aint gonna get you anywhere.
aww..luv ya, i didn't know we girls can be so scary..lol
