What is the best way to approach women in the street?

[ovixs90]

Was the best way or what to say approaching women on the street? "D not to look creep

[JSmuve]

Try not to listen to the people discouraging you from doing this; they're honestly part of the problem.

The best way is to know what you want from the interaction, be confident, read body language, and keep it short.

Walk up to her and say something like "excuse me, I saw you and couldn't let myself leave without knowing your name, I'm so-and-so". Maintain eye contact and see her reaction. If it looks good and she doesn't brush you off, make brief small talk to build rapport. Then finish it off with something like "I don't want to keep you because I'm sure you've got stuff to do, but would you be interested in getting together sometime?"

Then if she's down, she'll give you her number. After you get her digits, say it was nice to meet her and that you'll give her a call. Then part ways.

It probably won't work all of the time because people are generally fairly hesitant around strangers, but as long as you can remain confident, socially calibrated, and completely okay with whatever negative reaction you might get, then you'll be fine and won't come off as creepy.

[hahahmm]

I don't recommend it because it was never my style (with total strangers) but if you want to, better to be very direct and upfront. Yes, you'll get rejected a lot but some women will go for it. Let's say 3% of women would be open to you and getting approached on the street... you need to ask 33 women to have any hope at all. Not to mention that if woman #2 saw you ask out the woman 10 feet ahead of her and get rejected, she's less likely to say yes so you gotta pace yourself too. In some places women are very... animated and direct in how they respond to unwanted advances too. She might yell FU*K OFF at the top of her lungs. Or - and I've seen this happen to guys - she might talk to you for 10 minutes, and then after all of that tell you, "I never go out with guys I meet in public."

This day in age it's more likely she would approach you in a lot of public settings. Think your odds go up on approaching her if you see a single woman in a place mostly visited by men because it's possible she's only there to find a guy.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Honestly it's just going to depend on the girl and there isn't a great way of knowing that until you approach her lol

Unfortunately we have sort of been conditioned to be on the defensive a lot of times when approached by guys because a lot are really aggressive. Keep a respectable distance, be confident but not cocky, if you are good with humor it helps offset the initial fear, but finally read body language well. If she is pulling back, has her side turned to you, her arms folded across her body or any other sort of defensive language then back down on your approach.

I tried aprroaching couple times it was after the bars shut down and everyone was leaving so i saw few girls walking so just started speaking with them few seemed on a rush and i think they had families so didn't worked at the end i just stopped walking and turned around cuz they were to fast :D Than i saw this russian girls i appraoched but i started speaking in English so they though i was a foreigner it was much more easy for me to speak in English the chat went smoothed they even took picture with me.. and added me on facebook but i think they were married as i understand :D The problem i have is i don't know how to start conversation and what to speak :D

[Ez-Bri-Z]

I mean you just seem to have bad timing there. Why wait until everybody is ready to head home?

[Jemini_Crocket]

I guess I'm just unattractive or unlucky because most of my experiences with guys were nice. The best one was when he simply waited (I noticed that right away) whether I am busy or not, he walked up to me and nicely introduced himself and asked me out.

It's really simple but I guess it depends on the place where you live.
Too many women are quite aggressive these days and find this intrusive. I find it silly, they should be happy the men even come up to them, in future they'll probably have to do it the opposite way.

[MzAsh]

Too many women are aggressive? I just want make it home without being followed.

[ChrisMaster69]

Put it this way, from the moment that woman has left her house, pretty much every guy is thinking the same thing.

by the time she walks the 1/2 mile to where you are, chances are you would be the 5-10th person to approach her in the street.

Now imagine it’s you walking through a gay part of town and from when you enter until you leave, 10 different guys try and hit on you.

How you going to feel?

basic rule is don’t approach women in the street, it’s just bad and creepy.

yeah if they are stopped and you make eye contact and actually know how to do things from a distance, then let her make first move, especially true if on her own, again never approach a woman on her own.

for simplicity, do not approach women in the street.

[Qdbrown]

For about three years now, I wouldn't. If she feels threatened, feels like you're a creeper, she is very likey to call the cops, say scary things and you will get questioned and maybe hauled in. It's not safe to ask for dates anymore.

A guy got hammered being nice telling a girl last year in New York, if the credit card at her feet was hers. She called the cops on him and he spent 20 minutes getting asked what he was doing as they checked him out. She felt like he was going to attack her.

[ovixs90]

I live in Europe :D i dont think someone call cops for that

[Qdbrown]

Then go on with your bad self.

[HiveBee]

There isn't one. THERE isn't A BEST WAY!

You have only a single choice. That choice is this:

Approach women until you develop the social skills with women to be successful at doing approaches.

Sorry, that is the only right answer.

[Inexpensivefurniture]

I would recommend not approaching women in the street, and just sticking with environments where you know women are expecting and wanting to be approached

[ovixs90]

After clubs close down :D

[Inexpensivefurniture]

I meant more like on dating apps

[Dude_777]

It would be a bit ackward, but you could just ask some directions or ask about a place nearby etc. Being genuinely curious about something is going to improve your odds of getting a little bit chance of success.

Dress sharp, walk with confidence, style perfect, nicely groomed, so that you can give a positive vibe of a person with a high social status, which will definitely help.

Or just walk up to her, introduce yourself a little and say" you seem like an interesting person, can i get your number"? Simple as that.

If she is interested, you will get her number or Snapchat etc.

[slatyb]

Approaching strange women in the street is very unlikely to lead to a date. It's just not a good time, women aren't receptive to being approached when they are on their way somewhere. You might throw out a compliment like "Nice hat", but nothing overtly sexual. If you get a "Thanks" you might try to continue the conversation. Still your chance of success is low.

[Omario2049]

DON'T!!! But if u must then something around "Excuse me. Hi. I know this is random and u may find it strange or even corny but ur beauty litterally just grabbed me by the balls and I just had to let you know or I would hate myself for not at least asking you out." It's direct, sincere, kinda funny and authentic all at the same time. Also it's very important that u make eye contact while speaking to her. If she says she has a boyfriend or anything negative, respond with something like " I know this is pretty random and and putting u on the spot and I don't want u to feel like a cheap slut giving it never to some random guy on the street but how else does a guy generate a whole relationship out of thin air with a tiny window of opportunity? Just give it a shot, u won't regret it." All with eye contact. Your welcome.

[HairyPoppins]

Understand That She Might Not Appreciate Being Approached At All. ...
Consider Your Surroundings. ...
Open with an Honest Conversation Starter. ...
Use Compliments That Are Relatively Vague — And Never Sexual. ...
Pay Close Attention to Her Body Language. ...
Let Her Initiate Further Correspondence. ...
Be On Your Way... don't hold her up too long.

[Heiniken]

Just a numbers game, approach lots and don't take it personally.

Best thing is to have a short conversation with them (a few minutes) then ask for the number over a coffee date. If you can't have half a conversation and just ask for the number then they won't be interested.

[cth96190]

The best way is to not approach women.
In all Western jurisdictions a cold approach can become the basis of a sexual harassment complaint.
In some jurisdictions, such as Britain and Denmark, approaching a female is a hate crime that carries prison time.
In Glasgow, in November, 2019, a pick-up artist who had been making a video about cold approaching females on the street was sentenced to two years in prison.

[dray995]

I think it’s still legal in America.

[Mofunfour20]

If she isn't making herself approachable then its best not to. Women that send you choosing signals are attracted to you naturally so no matter what you really say theyre into you. If ahe doesn't and you end up having to prove yourself to her then she won't respect you the the way she would if she's in high interest

[Kaamraj]

The best way is no way. Meaning do not approach a woman on the streets. You may have the best of intentions, however if she feels threatened or exaggerates then you can be in serious legal trouble. Then is it worth the risk of legal fees, court hearings, and no doubt loss of reputation and peace of mind? - I think not.

[exitseven]

I don't know if there is any answer to that question. I don;t think many girls would be very receptive to somebody just coming up to them on the street and start hitting on them. Maybe if the guy was really handsome it might work but otherwise forget it.

[SupremeWarlord]

There needs to be a context first, if you're jogging on the street and regularly cross paths with a woman doing the same thing, you can greet them by saying "Hi" and take things slowly from there.

Probably, I actually never did that LOL.

[peachicus]

The best way is to not.

When people are out in public they don't want to talk to randomers, they just want to get on with their lives.

Going up to woman in public and trying to start conversation or hitting on them is just intimidating and a bit creepy.

Stick to specific dating events or apps :)

[dray995]

But then how else do you meet someone you don’t know? Going out in public seems like the best likely option to meet someone somewhere.

[MzAsh]

Just don’t.
I get men trying to approach me on the street constantly. Yesterday I was just going to the damn mailbox. There really is no way to not look like a jackass this way.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

If she gives you choosing signals i. e. stares at, smiles at you with a interest in you. You wave at her and go introduce yourself to her.

Never approach a woman randomly especially from behind as she doesn't know you from nowhere and that would scare her.

[he-takes-a-part]

Can see the Impact of Pandemic.
Well just go and spank their ass. This won't waste anyone's time and also even if u get nothing then too you got something. Just spank them hardest. and ask ur frnd to make video from far fool them about youtubing and then if she seems cool can go ahead.

[dray995]

Why is she doesn’t like it and slaps you, hits you or calls you a jerk for initiating unwanted touching?

[dray995]

*What if she doesn’t like it

[dray995]

YouTubing what are you talking about? Why? That sounds creepy!

[he-takes-a-part]

@dray995 Just do it or keep hovering aroound wanting to do it. 1/10 will be an immediate slut

[1truekhaleesi]

"Dont."

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

[dray995]

Why not? What’s wrong with wanting to make friends with strangers?

[1truekhaleesi]

@dray995 I have enough friends.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

You should totally order a t-shirt with your name on it & that might be a great start.

[dray995]

Why is that?
