Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but what is the socially acceptable way for a guy to start a conversation with a woman that he doesn't know who appears to be single? This is the main reason why I'm on this dating site. I don't know very many women in my daily life, so how do I start a conversation with a total stranger without coming off as creepy?

Should I hint or be plainspoken? If I hint, how many hints should I throw out before I drop it? If I'm plainspoken, what's the proper way to say "I'm looking to date somebody, can we talk so that I can decide whether or not I'd like to date you?"

Is it proper to try to pick up one woman out of a group of women, and if so, what's the best way of doing it without ticking off the rest of them?

I'd say that's enough questions to start with. Later.


When you open a woman, stand up tall, smile and say "Hi, You are too cute. I have to meet you. I'm Elijah_S, what's your name?" Stick out your hand for her to shake it. Shaking hands is an auto pilot responce. She will shake your hamd.

Follow this up by asking an open ended question. Something like; "I'm new in the area and you look like a cool person that knows the best places to hang out. Where should a guy like myself go to make new friends?"

This will start a short conversation. She'll ask you a few questions about what you like and such. Tell her the truth. If you're into Jazz don't say you love Lady Gaga.

After she's given you a couple of places to go tell her thanks. Tell her you should hire her to be your tour guide or some other playful roll playing game. Just be sure to make it a game with YOU in charge. Girls LOVE this. Just be your silly ol' selfand have fun.

Now, this is important. When you run out of things to say, tell her it's been a pleasure, shake her hand again and turn to leave. Take a few steps away and turn back and say "You know, you're really cool. You and I need to hang out some time. Give me your number and I'll call you."

When you start to leave she'll be thinking "why didn't he ask for my number?" She likes you now and feels a small loss when you leave. Coming back is like giving her a second chance and she'll be more likely to give you her number.

Also, don't ask for her number. Tell her to give it to you. She can still say no if she wants. This shows confidence and assertiveness on your part. Both attractive qualities.

Don't expect this to work on your first try. You have to talk to a few women to get "warmed up."

Most importantly, have fun. Women like men that have fun.





eeewww. sick I guess maybe a young naive ditz would fall for this routine. I would be thinking.... there's a guy trying to find some action.


The OP is 24. I assume he's looking for women from about 18 to 25 or so. This kind of thing wouldn't work with a woman like yourself. But, it works well with the age group I mentioned.

You approach and talk to women the same way you would men. Just say hi!



The first part of that advice is good. The "just say hi" not so good.

Saying "hello" or "hi" is more natural if you run into a person and there is no one else around. But if you pick one person out of a crowd and go up to them and say "hi" or "hello" to just that one person, then you come off as trying to pick her up.

When I was a teen and pre-teen I was painfully shy. I had to get to a point where I did not care anymore (about being rejected) before I could talk to people. That is introversion. All of your attention is on YOU.

Be extroverted. Be interested in other people. Be aware of their problems, concerns and interests. People will respond well to you if you are interested in THEM.

This really works. Get interested, truly interested in other people and take your attention off of yourself and your own fear.





I was too Jeannie LOL.....it took me a very long time to learn to speak in public......

What do people love to talk about more than anything else...themselves.So,my sudgestion is maybe start with a hi,introduce yourself,then maybe ask her if shes a local.If not,then theres a opening.Work on where shes from and what kind of things she did and still like to do on her free time.....focus on her.Slide a compliment or 2 in there always works....if you dont mind me saying,you have the most beautiful eyes...women love it.

Compliments cannot be fowarded right away,it will most likely scare them away.They need to be worked in there between conversation.When a guy overuses too many compliments,it looks to the woman that this guy is only looking to get laid.Its like a sale,you`re selling yourself to women.You have to convince a woman that you`re worthy candidate

Good point! I say take it farther and don't compliment her on her looks at all. Instead compliment her on her brains, personality or accomplishments. anything other than her looks. This means you'll have to actually get to know her a little.

If you have enough confidence that can work.

Hello is a good way to start.

Then say something about a polar bear crushing an icecube with pure awesomeness.

After this, do a dance with at least two pelvic thrusts.

And Here's the clincher:

Sing the National Anthem of the country of your choosing.


You're welcome and congratulations.:thumbsup: :laughing:


I knew I impressed you with those two pelvic thrustsglasses


rofl Indeed.
