I always seem to run into cuties at the grocery store however not sure what to say. We exchange that eye contact and then I get so nerves I run out! (not actually but I end up leaving the aisle and dodging the guy.) Can anyone give me some advice on what to do, or say?

Get him in the produce aisle, and compliment his melons. that would make me laugh, and want to talk to you.

Just say "Hi" and smile as you pass by naturally. Even if he just smiles and nods or exchanges the friendly greeting, you'll be even more confident when the next cute guy comes by.

I agree what the guy below me said.....i also work in a grocery store and don't know if its my personality but if you think the clerk is cute and wanna talk to him, it should be easier on your nerves to talk to him cause we love to help people...well at least I do lol.....plus I like to joke around with them to make them feel more comfortable and ease the tension.

I work in a grocery store ... for five years, throughout high school and a I was a manager after ... it's almost too easy in a grocery store for a girl. It literally happens everyday, where some guy meets some girl and a phone number is exchanged. There's a million things you could do, lol, you don't have to dodge 'em, lol we won't bite - we're looking for food. What Homer said is a good example.

You could also Look down at your list and "accidentally bump" into his cart and then just say "oop's didn't mean to run ya off the road" and then get his name and keep flirting.

You can pass by him and when you do act like your looking for something in the same area and say "where are the Cheerios" and name whatever is in the aisle, but not directly in front of you. Like ask where the Cheerios are when your in front of the Captain crunch, you know just like you already know him; they're usually relatively close. And then just keep it going like "I don't know why but I can never seem to find what I want!" and see if he has trouble too. Because he probably does!!! *Hint, hint*

If you catch the guy when he looks curious - that's one of your best times to talk to him, he usually needs help finding something anyway.

You can ask a guy if he is shopping because he can cook - this is something that can clue you in on if he has a girl friend if you keep it going, like "who do you cook for? Just yourself"

You can walk by him and drop something to see if he picks it up, like grab a flyer, walk by him and hold it so the middle drops and you still have the outside page - see if he helps you pick it up and if he will take the "gentleman approach." I saw that done once, and it worked!

Try to stand next to him in the line at the deli or bakery, startup a conversation - you have a little bit of time if you are not the only two people in line.

But like there's a lot to work with in this situation, like just go through the store and look at how many people, just startup conversations anyway; just because they're standing next to each other - they bring up the weather; how long the lines are; how much the store sucks lol (these people usually you want to avoid - complainers, lol; or what they plan on eating or looking for in the store. And if you are allergic to anything, I'm joking but I'm serious here, don't start up a conversation near that; like if you are allergic to oranges - wait for another opportunity to talk to him, lol that was pretty funny to watch, "Yeah I like oranges too" this one guy said ... Then I was getting paged to call an ambulance for him, because he "forgot" he was allergic; not the most attractive moment I have to say,lol.

Answerer It doesn't matter where you are, really. In a groc. store you're ice breaker is food/ bookstore-it's books/ dept. store-appliances/ mall-clothes, electronics or anything. The sky is the limit,Just *pick 'em out, and pick 'em up* & switch up the appoach! - 8 months ago

Try to reach to the top shelf or at least appear so, and ask him if he could help you. Or if he is looking at a specific brand of any item ask him how it is different than the one you prefer and why he prefers it. In a grocery store, ceiling is your limit :)

Ask him if the melons look fresh.. Just kidding. I have never thought about meeting a guy at a store.. Good one. Well, you could always start off with a hi or did you see that the chicken is on special? I really have no advice on this one!! Shocker. But, I will keep my eyes open from now on.

You have to have a line...just like guys-same concept! You find something around them and then start talking to your self but slightly looking at him. He will say excuse me ...then you say oh I'm sorry I'm nervous they sent me to find...(what ever you choose) and I have no idea what it is or how to find it. If he likes you he will take up the challenge of helping you look for it! In his eyes by helping you he just picked you up!! LOL they are so simple!

Question Asker Sounds pretty basic and easy. Guess it's one of those, easier said than done. I just always found it a little odd to start a convo with a stranger at the grocery store. But hey why not. Thanks for you advice - 8 months ago
homer You are not on a speed dating, so I would say asking age, name, how he is doing will come off as weird. - 8 months ago
