Approaching a Girl

    Ok, So here's my personal woe to add to the many on these pages already.

    I'm 23 with minimal experience with women. There is a girl from college that I never ever talked to(she did a different course) but I used to notice her about sometimes. However, I never see her in a social situation. Would it weird just to start talking to her when I'm , like, sober?

    What would be the best way to begin conversation with her?????

    Ask her for directions to somewhere! smile and be nice about it!

    The next time you see her smile and say hello. Work at it from there!

    what if she's in your course and you still can't talk to her!?:rolleyes:

    Just walk up to her and confidently ask her if she wants to do dinner

    She'll either piss herself laughing or admire your cahonas and you can then have a chat and flip to coffee as an alternative...unless shes really keen

    Although I'm thinking if that was an option you probably wouldnt ask on boards what to do but still it's more fun and definitive than asking for directions...

    This is indeed a risky option. She may be hungry and we know she's a student. She may take you up on the offer just for some free food.

    Peronsally i'd start talking to her about her course and what subjects she has blah blah... stuff you know she's interested in (or maybe hates). At least this way you'll have her doing come of the talking and it should be a smooth conversation.

    gogogogogo!

    .........you got any scars , chicks love scars ..... i got both my legs ripped off by sharks last year , and i never got so much ......

    if not ,why not get a mutual friend to introduce you both , a mutual girl friend would be good , then all go out for a coffee . try not go over to her when your drunk , i've been there trying to chat up girls when i had a skinfull and the results were .............. messy.

    good luck !!

    I wouldn't advise that at all!! That is way too full on and you would end up scaring her off and she would think your a freak!

    Its ok to ask her out to dinner when you have engaged in conversation a few times and spent a little bit of time together!

    Ease her in gently.

    Why not start with hello & work from there? If she looks horrified and starts looking around for exits, you know where you stand....if she smiles, says hello back & encourages a conversation, let her know you will be in the X pub with a group of friends on a certain date if she fancies coming along & see if she does?! Best of luck :)

    It depends what your after really- getting laid or forming some sort of relationship with her?
    , let her know you will be in the X pub with a group of friends on a certain date if she fancies coming along & see if she does?!

    ..personally i think this is a bad idea, its far too intimidating especially if she doesn't really know you, i dont see why she'd be willing to go to a pub with a bunch of people she doesn't know?
    What would be the best way to begin conversation with her?????
    just bite the bullet and walk up to her, introduce yourself , smile ask her about her course or some kind of general small talk, or drop something when she walks past, she picks it up..and take it from there.(underhand i know but it worked for me ; ) ) whatever you decide, do it on your own - do not have a bunch of friends staring and giggling in the back round she'll tink you taking the piss!
    Just walk up to her and confidently ask her if she wants to do dinner
    i agree with this alright but remember be confident not arrogant

    if you do want to ask her out just be honest with her and tell her you don't make a habit of chatting up random girls but definately go somewhere/do something where its just the two of you (anymore than 2 people isn't a date!)

    if you just want to get laid however and think shes keen then Ickle Magoos advice is probably your best bet.


    good luck! : )

    You: "Hi, I think we should mate"
    Her: "I'm sorry"
    You: "I said I think we should date"

    or

    You: "Hi, you look nice in those pants"
    Her: "I'm sorry"
    You: "Hi, would you like to dance?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Simple as "How youuuu doin'?"

    Honestly, just go up (dont sneak up or scare her off now :) ) and say hi, offer to buy her a drink and carry on from there.

    No, Its just too weird!!!!

    I 'll stick to talking to them when they are out
