How would you react/would you do it?

Lets say you're walking and you just happen to see a girl you thought was quite attractive (see quite a few but...) you know some people stand out more then others even though they are not the prettiest ones among who you have seen. I say hi to girls all the time in the street if it is pretty secluded although not very outspoken in school/class and whatnot but anyway does anyone think it appropriate to start a actual conversation with a random girl in the road or will that look like I am just looking for sex? Although, I really am not.

Has anyone done this or had it done to them and had a good outcome?

How would you react if some boy came up to you like that? Not too handsome by the way hehe.

Nothing wrong with being friendly, as long as that's all you're doing.
You might get a look like wtf maybe but nah it's not really a bad thing to do.

it can be a bit bizarre....but i suppose as long as you dont come across as creepy its fine, some girls will like it, others wont i guess

It could go either way really...some people would be pleasantly surprised! Personally I'd be a bit uncomfortable but that may just be cos I'm shy and wouldn't know what to say to a stranger.

Depends on the person.

Very attractive girls probably have that happen all the time. At the other end of the spectrum, girls like me just presume you're extremely desperate.

If you're not doing it for sex etc, would you do it with all people regardless of gender, looks etc? :s-smilie:

I just .... walk past strangers!

Yeah, I know plenty of guys who are good at this daytime stuff - often getting phone numbers. But to be honest, I find it hard to be in a sociable state in that situation and there is no social expectation on a girl to meet new people (like in a bar/club) so I think it's more likely that you get blown out.

If you're both lumped in the same situation, waiting for the bus, in a queue etc then it's pretty easy to get away with. Not cash points though, or the GUM clinic.

btw, i do, do it to both sexes but am not really attracted to the guys. Using saying hello/morning when jogging to people i come across and say hello to people walking in a bit more of a secluded area.. kind of weird to do it in a crowded area.

thanks for the replies, i guess I should have known that there was not going to be one definite answer, one may like the other may not.

Almost every person has replied btw.

I wouldn't mind at all if someone started a random conversation with me, I quite like those sorts of things! Unless you were one of those creepy old guys and your conversation starter was "nice tits, darlin'"

Um, no never would do that.. ever.. like ever..

I am believe it or not quite civil and don't think I am creepy?

Btw, another quick add on to that, I have an american accent do girls like that?

I get a lot of people saying its cool and whatnot but that phase is starting to die out in school as everyone is getting used to it but.. yea. do girls like it in general?

In response to something someone said above about people in the other side of the spectrum, I think I would be too scared. :P

Ooooooh if someone said hello to me in an American accent I wouldn't think it was weird. I would think they were American. Talking to strangers is sorta an American thing to do.

Not used to it around here, though.

I've had a mixture of responses talking to strangers, mainly in bars or outside etc, i think it can't harm you so go for it. One time i started a conversation with a german girl whilst waiting for the tube and she seemed quite into it, but then again she was german and i was a bit pissed. That said i met my ex-girlfriend that way, although she actually started the convo.

Yeah I hear you guys like "confessing" fun things to old men who touch up boys too. You guys are just WEIRD I tell you!

do it. who cares about outcome. I did it quite a few times. But... its kinda difficult to keep her attention focused on convo with you. And you can be to tight-up to make a good impression. Might sound weird but do a few approaches to other girls before :wink:
