What's the best way for a man to introduce himself to someone at a random place while not seeming creepy overconfident or any other negative vibe. I know I have a problem with this. So if I do so do many other men.

Hi! (big smile) My name is ________. I saw you over here and I thought I would come over and say "Hi!".

Ive always been partial to " hello...my name is..."

I think real and unrehearsed is better than some corny pick up line.

So walk up have a normal smile say hello while introducing yourself. Sounds easy. Yet here it goes, where do u take it from there? Do u say nice day were having or what would be the best next thing? I'm not partial to rehearsel but this is where I lock up.

Well I think it depends on where you are, a party? introduce yourself maybe make a comment on their nice smile or how they look like they are enjoying their self. Out in public setting, comment on the weather or again the nice smile they have and then go from there if the person seems open to futher conversation proceed or if they get that "deer in the headlight look", back away, practice makes perfect and if you get rejected, man up, and sometimes you got to just keep on trying.What I don't like is someone that thinks they got to get all loud so you notice them, not a good manuever for me because I don't like loud, boisterous people that feel they need to draw attention theirselves.Also being sincere is good, I can pretty much spot a BS'er.JMO

Why did you come up to her?
A beautiful smile... pretty eyes...?
I had a guy tell me that I had kind eyes and he wanted to come over and get to know me.

I thought that was nice.
From there he asked the basics..my name..where I was from.

What ever the question..ask it confidently. And listen for the answer.

She may be quite interesting and you might have a lot in common to discuss!

Here is an interesting thing.
MOST people appreciate a listener.
Getting someone to talk, without asking
them questions is an art form.

Henry Kissinger once said, about being a
celebrity that the best thing was, when a
conversation died, they never think it is
the celebrity's fault.

You could tell them they look..interesting
and your granny told you to NEVER pass by
an interesting looking person.

I would think this would elicit a smile.
Keep the chat pertinent to where you are,
and in the moment. It is okay to talk about
the weather, if you have some heretofore
undiscovered fact (of the day) about it..like
'I just stepped in a puddle, and splattered
a dog, who jumped and splattered the mailman
and he dropped the mail, was it the weather's
fault, or mine, or the dog's?
What do you think?'

You also need not fill every bit of silence,
you can point to the sky 'Is that not the
prettiest sky ever? I think it is speaking to us...'

It should be about nothing, and everything.
I would not compliment right away, seems like
pandering.

Keep it simple..and listen.
Build on the replies.

Listening isn't the problem either. I've noticed that I'm bad at reading body language so that makes it hard for me. I've tried the whole compliment thing and it works sometimes and other times it doesn't. Asking for her number after a convo has gone well is easy also. I hate dating I'm so much more of a in relationship type of guy. I know what to do then. Winning a heart or atleast a true female friend is the hard part.

Well thanks for the help. If people could keep giving out help it would be appreciated. Especially from women since it is the other sex which I am trying to appeal to.

Well, you could shoot her in the boob with a water pistol and say, "Here! Let me lick that off!!!"

At this point it doesn't sound like you could have worse luck!

I would surprise you ten fold then twice fold that lol.

Walk up to her and then grab her hand and stuff a $20 in it while saying, "Yeah, I need two White Russians made with Grey Goose". Point to where you are sitting and then walk away. She will follow and tell you that she isn't a waitress. Ice broken....and also she made $20. Lol!

That's funny but no. For twenty bucks. Yeah. Its funny till you remember I'm not looking to be a sugar daddy or for a proffesional lazy women who earns her money doing her job(not trying to use the obvious word here). I'm looking for something real. Don't get me wrong, money isn't such a big deal that I won't waste money in a very frugal manner, but I'm not gonna just give it away. We risk to gain not to lose.

Was waiting on the humor though. Seemened like it was forever. Atleast u got a chuckle from me.

You'd be surprised how even silly ice breakers can work. Women can tell if you are trying hard to break the ice and will normally be receptive to it. Just don't whip out your schlong. Lol.

Dang there goes plan b. Corny sometimes work but it has to be the perfect day for that. Ever wonder if its not what u ask but how u ask?

YUP!
Corny... silly. it all can work if executed properly!

I'm pretty straight forward..
SO, knowing how I am, if you come to me showing me all nerves.. you'll get a smile and a handshake, but not the phone number.

There is no one best conversation starter. It's going to depend on the person you're trying to start a conversation with, as not all women are alike. There isn't something that is guaranteed to work all the time.

As others have said, just be yourself. If it's scripted, it will come off sounding scripted.

You say you hate dating.. that's going to show. Just relax and have fun, rather than hating it.

I do tense up cause its just weird to me you could say. I try to have fun. But in all good stuff. Anyone else want to add things just add.

Corny corn food mmmmm food. I should prob eat.

Do you know why I pulled you over?
Cause you could smell it *points at donuts*
-Gabriel Iglesias-

That's prob to corny lol.

Good thing I'm working on stregthining our friendship

Approach prospect and say:
'Hi, I know this is lame...but 'Hi' anyway.'
(twitch nervously)

(Now walk away)

That might seem really creepy.. .

And stay away from the cheesy/corny pickup lines.
