Tips on approaching a girl?

Well started uni today, was pretty sound but just need some tips on talking to girls, as I dunno jack about it lol.

Say Im just siting around and a girl comes down and sit near me, what do I talk about? Except for the usual like what course you doing etc. Any good ice breakers?

Also, good idea to ask a girl for their email/number when you first meet them or after only a few days?

:smile:

Oops was meant to post as Anon lol. Oh well.

alcohol helps =]

It's not too different with talking with guys, well obviously a bit more different because you can always be playfully teasing with girls and some conversations may be inappropiate. I went to an all guys school but I don't think theres anything I can tell you other then don't see the girl as a girl just talk to her like a normal person. Feel free to wrap your arm round her and engage in small talk, but ask open ended questions like 'what do you want to do after uni?' rather then 'do you take _______?' which is like yes/no and quite boring. Just be confident, its no big deal if you don't hit it off you can always chat to another girl, just be everywhere!

In my experience best thing to ask for first is email/myspace, then msn followed by their number. I think it just screams "I fancy you" too quickly if you just asked for a number straight off. But then I'm 17 and still at school lol.

That's an awesome tactic when you're out on a night out or at a party.

"Hi, I'm #####, here's my email address, I'll contact you in a few days. Bye."

*Walk off*

Bound to be a winner.

Uhh, asking a girl you have just met for her myspace, msn and number is not a very good idea. Unless you mean, after you've been talking for a while :p: In which case I think I'd go for number first...

I agree, dont ask for such details straight away as thats just weird! But before you go your seperate ways at the end of an evening just ask for her number, its not rocket science! Just be chatty and dont try and be someone your not. In terms of chating to the ladies, use any excuse, most love it! for example the other night 4 girls where trying to take a photo of themselves together, so i asked if theyd like some help... ended up sleeping with one of them that evening.. so who knows eh!

just talk to her like you would one of your guy friends, without the toilet humour, then a bit later on before you leave say something like, 'can i have your number, id like to carry on this conversation' etc

just ask her how she is, if shes got any plans for later and invite her out with you and a few mates that ways you can get to know her with your mates and then there wont be much awkward silences

just ask them for their number all you're going to get is a yes or no. if you're cool they will give it you


alternatively - use rohypnol

Lol. Yeah that is what I meant. Actually what I put does sound a bit odd... I meant after chatting awhile. I assumed thats what he meant, how to actually take it further than just meeting them.

I've found just asking for their name works best...then you can facebook them afterwards, and it's less scary asking what they're called, compared to numbers!

Well, it is uni. Pretty much everyone asks for everyone else's number if they've talked to them for more than a few mins. Asking a girl for her number doesn't mean much more than asking another guy for his in the majority of cases.

ye just have a chat, how they are enjoying uni so far, what course they are doing, what there flat and flatmates are like. Just normal questions, then if you want there number, just be cool and just ask for it, with an indication of "we should come out more often" like as friends, clubbing or whatever! Just meeting people, just be relaxed and be yourself!

just talk to them - if girls are anything like me, they'll be flattered just by the fact that you made the first move and bothered to keep a conversation going :smile: and asking for a number is fine, as long as you plan to use it once in a while...

You don't sound like you've ever spoken to one before :s-smilie:

That is absolute genius. Then you can do leaving them a message saying "oh wow what a coincidence I was talking to you the other night and stumbled across your Facebook/Bebo/Myspace page so hows it going", then if they reply you can legitimately add them as a friend, thus leading onto msn and then onwards to their phone number. Though if you are anything like me once you have the phone number you will never do anything with it :frown:

"hey..."
"hi there..."
"Pick a number between 1 and 15".
"erm...8?"
"8 inches!...how did you know?!"

if she says 5 or smaller go: "5 inches? you obviously weren't paying attention..."

etc.

You: If I could, I would re-arrange the alphabet to put U and I together.

Her: Why? I kinda like it how it is... and everyone would have to re-learn it if you changed it.

You: No, no. You and I.

Her: Wh- ohhhhhhhh... haha! Neat!

You: :cool:

Her: Take me back to your room and do me all night you stud.

Do that. :wink:

Would work great, apart from getting stopped by a '**** off' after "Pick a number between 1 and 15".

Lines don't work. Ever. Just talk to them as though they are human beings, and not machines which need the right code to be unlocked.
