So here's the problem. So I consider myself to be a pretty good looking guy, and I know women do to, because they don't just look, they stare. I mean it's always fun when I bust them and they turn all red. But that's not the problem, the problem is I have absolutely no clue how to approach these women and ask them if they'd like to get together sometime. I just get extremely nervous and have no clue what to say. Now I know women dig confidence, and I'm a confident guy, as for the exception of talking to women, not good. So what I want to know from you ladies, is what the hell do I say to you when I approach you?

And are you just as nervous as I am, because women always seen to keep their composure, like it's no big deal. I think if I knew she was just as nervous as I, it would make it a bit easier. Well ladies any advice you have would be great.

I can definitely say that we are just as nervous as you guys. I have liked this guy for a year and all he does is stare but he won't say anything to me. I want to say something to him so bad but all these negatives go through my mind. "He probably doesn't even like me," or, "he's going to think I'm too forward." My friends laugh at me because they said I get this panic attack look when he comes around! LOL. I agree with Marie21. Even if you come up with one of those cheesy lines and follow it up with saying "now that we've broken the ice," she won't care. Most girls will be relieved that you had the courage to do it. Good luck!

Me and my friends love random pick up lines that never really work . But they're cute and funny to sort of brake the ice with hot guys (or in your case, girls) . Once you have them smiling, then you can make your move and ask them out . If they don't like you, they would have walked away before you even got their attention .

Some women find it flattering to know that they've made a guy nervous. It shows genuineness and sincerity. I say if you catch someone gawking at you and the attraction is mutual, go for it! I can't speak for all girls but when a guy comes up to me and starts spitting his so-called game, I know he's out for only one thing and automatically goes on my creepy list. So my best advice would be to just be yourself because that's what's impressive, not some macho cheesy act lol. He'll even saying a simple hey, how's it going can be the start of something great. I wish you the best hun!

I get really nervous when I go to up to talk to guys, but when I do I talk what they like. If you don't know what they like just go up and say hey.

Nervousness happens when you are anticipating something you've never done before, or something you have little experience in. I get nervous when I see a man I like approaching me, but it's cute nervousness, it disappears the moment he speaks to me - the anticipation of what to say is gone and I'm in the moment - it returns immediately after he leaves my side - because now I'm unsure of what to wear on the first date.

When you approach a girl, don't think so much, just go up to her and say hi - or come up with something witty but not line-ish. Ask her if somethings on your shirt, like a stain - and she'll say no - then say, then why is that woman across the room staring at me like she's going to eat me alive? She'll look over and laugh - and what you've gotten across to her is that you're a normal guy without a big ego and conversation will just flow. You can use the - she's not my type line here (woman across the room) and ask to buy the girl you like a drink. Fool Proof scenario - no pick up lines and very casual, you'll know if she likes you or not very quickly as well.

We get excited not to nervous though. You can pretend to know us but them realize were not that person or whatever. Sometimes you can also just ask the person out.

Operative words are "if I knew she was just as nervous I, it would make it easier. "

So next time, before you approach a girl, just tell yourself that she is most likely just as nervous as you. If that helps you, use it. Eventually you'll outgrow that worry of how to approach them and you won't have to use any Jedi mind tricks. :)

As for what to say, "Hi, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful your smile/eyes is/are" or if your at a mall, pretend that you can't find a store and thought that she may be able to help, etc. Use anything and everything around you as a potential point for discussion. Most girls are not stupid and realize that you are just chatting them up so if they are into you, they'll respond in kind and if are not interested you'll tend to get a curt and polite, " no thank you " type of response.

OK, instead of "busting" girls for staring - stare back, and if you are attracted just smile a bit and as you walk by, and in a deep voice say, "Hey" - not in a sleaze ball fashion, - when I do that, girls usually just melt

You can follow up right there and then with something, but don't just pick up a girl the first time you see her if you can avoid it, it doesn't work that way usually - unless they are just looking for a "one-time guy"

If its someone on the street, you may not see them again so you need to find interest levels fast. Ask, so what are you up to? you could try following it up with, a compliment about something their wearing - if she sounds busy - then look away like your going to walk off, then stop and look back and say something like, I'd call a girl like you, but I don't have your number.

If this girl is someone you've seen before, around school, college, work, or your neighborhood - wait to you see her again - maybe even ignore her the 2nd time you see her, then say something the the time after that.

honestly it seems to me - that if a girl is attracted to you - it doesn't matter what you say, as long as you say something with confidence and act natural - you want them to melt, not you - just say something that give them the chance to start "Talking" with you - You can't start "Dating" someone, until your "Talking" with them first.

Cheers

Yea, first of all, it seems that you are a bit afraid of approaching? Check out my article on how to overcome fear of rejection, so that you can begin approaching women immediately. As to what you say, if a woman stares at you, go over to her and say something that hints that she was staring at you. Approach her saying, "hi," accompanied with a smile. After that, she is likely to say something. However, where you go from there is up to you. You can go along with what she's saying, flirt with her, use the neg theory, compliment her, or talk about what's going on in the news, especially the area that women like, like celebrity gossip perhaps. Have fun :)

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
My ideal first date would be to do something my date and I like. So if my date is into sports, we could go to a basketball or football game and since I'm a movie freak we could go to the movies afterwards and then finish up with dinner. I would wear casual clothes, jeans and a nice t-shirt. The date could end at my doorstep, the next date he might be able to come in.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
Afterwards, my date would know a lot about. They would know about what I like to do for fun, they would know my favorites. I would tell them about my family and my lifestyle. I won't tell everything because there wouldn't anything left to tell on the next date.

Would you date me?
