Be sincere and no cheesy lines. A smile is a good start, then hi or hello, and then some kind of comment with an open ended question. That'll hopefully get her to say something. Oh yes and respect her personal space. I've had some people come way too close and it makes me take a few steps back. Other than that, good luck. The smile means a lot to a woman, it usually equals that the guy is at least friendly.

I like this. Or maybe this:

"From downwind, that way she can't smell you."

There is nothing mysterious about women...they are human just like us (I think).

Good advice from everybody. Abbreviated summary and list (including my thoughts): EYE CONTACT, smile, the art of small talk (LEARN IT). And the biggest thing of all ~ CONFIDENCE!

If you're insecure or a wimp ~ they get it right away and you're dead. If your'e confident, they suddenly become intrigued as to why you are confident. (Confident does not equal machismo arrogance btw).

The other thing you want to be is unique or stand out (actually, just being confident will accomplish that already)... but ideally you can have a unique convo she's not used to having (liek the suggestions of being observant about her wardrobe, noticing a goofy thing, etc.)

Bonus points if you make some keen observation about HER that most people woudlnt' have observed...

Good luck.
Richey

I was wondering, what is the best way to approach a woman in a public setting? I feel like I am doing it wrong and that it is one reason I don't even get a chance. Any thoughts on this issue?
You got to feel it from inside. You have to have the fire in your belly and rise above the fear.

Women like a man with confidence. Dont worry about what you are going to say. Just go up to her and say what comes to you. But the key is you need to approach her with confidence.
