Girl troubles

*sigh*

Its wierd, at school everyday, during my passing period I see this really attractive girl walking by me everyday. The depressing part of this is that I am one of those guys that can easily talk to girls given the oppurtunity, but I can't just walk up to them and instantly start a conversation(like some of my friends can). I dont know her at all and there would be no way that she would know me. Does anyone here have any really good icebreakers?( I know some but there really lame and would never work).
Thanks, this will really help me out.

-Steve

No, but girl and trouble are two words that you see a lot in the same sentence.

Here's what you need to do...

You need to get yourself in a situation where you're standing beside her in a line (waiting for a bus, lunch line, etc.). Then just start some small talk, maybe start out with a witty comment, but keep your head level and stay pc.

Once you break the ice, introduce yourself and take it from there. Don't rush it, and don't go too heavy on the flattery.

Can't promise you it will lead to anything, but you'll break the ice and have the opportunity to introduce yourself. From there, it's half up to you and half up to her... the mind of a girl is filled with mystery we may never fully understand.

Good luck

Smoothly go up to her and say "Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?" This probably won't get you anywhere, but it would be funny. I do it to give my friends a good laugh at a bar or something, because most girls will just laugh in your face.
Real advice- dunno, not good with that situation myself, but once you get past introductions BE YOURSELF, there's nothing worse you could ever do than change yourself for someone!

PS-Mil1ion, you'd better make sure she can catch first! Otherwise, he might have ended a good thing before it started lol...

Exactly. That being true, playing into the mystery is a sly way to get her attention. Dont be to direct. Play the mystery man. Girls find intrigue far more exciting than a comic book. Dont tell her about yourself. Dont ask too much of her. Let the unknown draw her in. Its not that easy really. It takes making mistakes to learn...but it does work.
Posture, Composure, Eye Contact.
Remember those three for everything...not just girls.

Thanks, I was in the lunch line next to her a while back, but she was talkin w/friends. I missed my chance! O well, I have another chance with a girl I have known for a while that is in one of my classes. The problem is that I dont quite have my liscense yet, so I am kinda screwed for now.

I've been married for...um......hmmmm.....oh 9 years now going on 10, so I haven't played this game in a while but I can tell you that Mil1ion's advise is a definate no no ( I know he's just kidding). Put yourself in a position to say hi, that's it, then a few days later do it again but this time introduce yourself, and keep on. But BE YOURSELF, if she's interested then it'll go from there.

I take no responsibility for the above advise since I'm married and my wife is sitting here reading this over my shoulder....ouch honey that's gonna leave a mark

Maybe not a good idea.. a guy at a bar tossed a french fry at my sister with this same tactic, and ended up hitting her in the eye.. after that she told him she didn't want to know him...

My comment was made in Jest to get the thread moving

I was sure he would know that.



One thing about Females ...they like compliments.

Mentioning the EYES and how beautiful they are.... works.
Later, notice her shoes & say something nice.

i'm big on eye contact; you know the mysterious stare. but be careful; very few seconds separate a flirtatious glance from the piercing glare of a psychopath!

as far as compliments go; never compliment a woman below her neck, you're bound to hit upon something she is self conscious about.
good luck!

ok man heres what you do (i know cuz i got lucky and got one hell of a woman by doing this) you want her to notice you but you dont want to give her to much attention. act as if she does not matter for the first couple of days or in my case 1st couple of weeks. just introduce your self and make your self be known (little things matter a whole lot more than you think) such as walking her to class in your case, or just bring her a single red rose out of the blue then walk off and then a couple of days later buy her lunch but dont flatter her to much in the beging..... you do this and then get back to me then i will give you some more tips. if you dont beleive this works just ask me for some pics of my beautiful girl. just dont show to much intrest and they will fall for you eventually. if you show to much they get stuck up and think there better than you.

good luck
