Not totally informative. I always look at women, always try for eye contact. But they ignore me. One time I complimented a lady. She soon followed me, some how seeing which way I went. But nothing worked out, because I was with my brother's wife. Not once, since then, have my kind compliments to women gotten any attention paid to them.

Heres what works. Eye contact, a smile, an introduction (hi I'm so and so whats your name, a comment that relates to the environment you're in...and a compliment or two!

Make eye contact sure, but don't stare, there's nothing quite so freaky as an intense stranger attempting to burn holes through you with his eyeballs, looking like you're trying to hypnotise someone from across the room also makes you look like a serial killer out shopping.

Eye contact followed by a smile is all of a second or two long. Anything more than that, and you are staring and they are avoiding because it's creepy. Also, take it easy on the compliments. It's better to simply introduce yourself, make some small talk about what's going on around you, ask some basic social questions and then, if she seems receptive to talking to you, you can throw in a mild compliment, emphasis on mild.

"Excuse me miss, does this cloth smell like chloroform?"

Edit: I stole that from another eHA member but I forget who and I totally owe them props!

"be confident without being pushy, interested without being nosy, and attentive without being creepy."
Sensible advice, but how?
I'm sure the pushy & nosy creep thought he was just being confident, interested and attentive!

So, the taser and duct tape thing wouldn't really work then?

If the woman likes you, you are confident, interested and attentive. If she doesn't, you are automatically creepy. Objective facts don't matter in this scenario.
