Pickin up Chics

[TAVS]

Does she read? Does she carry anything of interest? That's a great way to start talking to someone.

[Tone]

Yeah comment on somethin she's readin or doin...

Anything to get the conversation started!

or "I'm sorry for being rude but it's hard for me to express myself when i'm on the verge of exploding in my pants"..hahah...ok so that might not work but just try basic stuff...ask for time then lead the conversation to something else.

I got a girls number in a circumstance like this once. I was walking to my car here at school in the pouring rain (commuters park about 15 minutes away), and I saw a bombshell with no umbrella, so I caught up to her and let her get under mine. Started up a conversation with her and by the time we got to the lot I was being given her phone number. What's really disappointing is that I was with my ex at the time, and this other girl was way out of my league and I never got the chance to call her. I wish that would happen now.

This sort of thing seems to happen to me. my brother says I'm too nice.

1) One time it was pretty fun. I was walking out of the door of the building where I worked and a guy was out for a jog and after he passed me he circled around and came to talk me up. He asked me about the company I work for. After a few minutes of chit chat, I offered him my phone number. We dated a few times only and talked on teh phone more. He was really hot (and a fireman) and I think the attraction was mutual, but it was strange just cuz we didn't really have a common ground. Also, right around the same time I began dating someone else and I was trying to to play both of those things out. Every once in a while this guy will phone me out of the blue.

2) Very recently a guy started chatting with me at the coffee shop - my nose deep in a book. he was with another man and we all enjoyed chatting for a while after that. I realized they had some similar interests to me so it was intersting chatting for a little while. However, that was it. I wasn't interested in anything beyond that point. he phoned me the next day and I didn't ever phone him back.

There have been others I'm sure but I can't think of them right now.
Clearly nothing that I ever actually was too interested in or else I would remember - except of course the fireman in scenario #1 above.

"They call me the fireman That’s my name
Makin’ my rounds all over town puttin’ out all flames
Well everybody’d like to have what I’ve got
I can cool ’em down while they’re smolderin’ hot
I’m the fireman that’s my name..."

"Guys, don't pick up girls on the side of the road..." by Jeblina

I agree with this post, don't do it!!! The minute you start harrasing people on the street is the minute when out come the pepper sprays I think the closest to picking up strangers out of the blue for me was when seating next to the girl i found attractive on the bus and comenting on what she was reading (lasted the whole trip last time - i was lucky she was doing the crossword puzzle and shared the questions with me so i could help hehe).

Okay, for a better success rate i would advise doing some social or hobby activity where you have no choice but being stuck with a female for an "X" amount of time. Like singing lessons (For those of us who don't scare little kids with their voice), Church groups OR Salsa dancing lessons! (I can see some possibillities on that front)...

Anyways, hope above helps, TAVS you silly-single-man-now-who-will-try-anything-to-pickup you

[misombra]

i'm always flattered when a guy has the courage to walk up to me and ask me out. even if i say hell no i'm still flattered you know?

[Only-virgins]

I dont go to bars and clubs to pick girls up so it looks like Im screwed...but more importantly!

[Ellynn]

I've never really been approached other then at work, on the internet, or in a bar...... But if someone did approach me on the street it would totally catch me off guard.......and then I tend to act stupid.

[inkeepingsecret]

yeah, i would totally feel like a creep if i approached some random person on the street. Probably the the reason why i havent.

Come to think of it, i'm shy at bars and clubs too.

[Late_vamp]

well , i found out that if you wanna practice without getting the whole rejection thing happening to you , just try talking to a stranger of the same sex as you , not for a date , just to be friends .

like today i made 3 friends at school , and i knew nobody there, i'v just seen them around school ex:classes , smoking outside . so i just went up to them said , what's up man , and started talking (before i NEVER would have approached a stranger , even if it was a male ...even if it was just to ask where the bathrooms were) . Its good to have friends in the new school , now i wont be a loner (i was for a week) . So now that i know some ppl there , ill go talk to that gorgeous girl in my class (its adult school , nobody talks to eachother in class) , thing is she's only there for one class (no brakes ...cant get her at a right time), but advantage ...she's also a loner . so i might actually NOT get rejected and i might not get her number ... anyways . ill it out once im feeling and looking a bit better (i havent bought cloths or shoes for more than a year , everything seems over used )

[Lloyd95]

thing is she's only there for one class (no brakes

Wow, how does she stop her car?

[smilingeyes]

Well, I'm a girl, but I was able to get a stranger's number that way. It was actually on a list of things I had to do on a bachlorette party scavenger hunt. i asked if I could borrow a pen, then I handed him a piece of paper and asked if I could have his number. Pretty cheesy, but it worked.
