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?

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

Is this is total stranger, someone you recognize but don't know (such as at a gym), or someone you know (like a coworker)?

Eye contact... smiles... hi! ... smile.

I am probably the last person that should give advice on this subject!

I can recommend making a comment about some goofy thing that you notice around you. The goofier the better. Even better if it is goofy AND funny.

The eye contact advice is really good as well.

Ask her opinion on something.

Comment about something funny in the room.

If she is wearing something unusual, you might comment on it, but make sure it's not insulting or too flattering.

Flattery in a pickup line is viewed suspiciously, so stay away from it until you've established a rapport. After that flattery is fine as long as you mean it and it seems realistic to the girl.


Good luck.

What happens when you do it? Do they ignore you or tell you to go away or what?

What types of places are you at when you do this?

Be a kid again. On the playground we used to just say hi and wanna be friends.

One of the best ways a man ever approached me was in a restaurant. I was out of town for work & having dinner with several colleagues. He waited until we were finished and the group was starting to break up. The person I was waiting on went to the restroom, leaving me alone at the table. The manager came up, sat down across from me, and said, "I thought we'd never get a chance to be alone!" The important thing was he smiled so I knew he was trying. He went on to ask me out after we talked for a minute. It was great because I left there smiling and, if I had been local, you better believe I would have gone!

Smile, look interested, and use a little humor.

I was at local pool today (35C!) My son didn't want to join me; but that's another tale. I had a coffee, read some of a trashy Hary Turtledove thriller, swam a bit (nursed injured kness) ... near by was an attractive woman doing much of the same ... I notice such things ... she was eading some trashy girls book. I pondered saying hi, caught eye, smiled, but didn't bother. Until I left. I forgot to pick up my sun glasses (would've been a pain - their pescrition and I need em when cyling) Anyway, as I work off she called out and pointing out my glasses still on the grass. I said thanks, chatted a bit about the weather, etc. Then head off. had shoping to do for a picnic date this evening. It really isn't that hard. Just don't come across as some obessive stalker, type. Woman can sence that a mile off. Good luck.
