I am going to be a senior in the fall and I am 17 years old. I want to go to the mall today and get a girls number or something but, I'm really shy and nervous and haven't done this before. I was thinking about approaching to girls in the food court who are sitting down and saying "Hey I just saw you from across the food court and wanted to introduce myself I'm Jake." Does that sound good or should I say something else? How can I not be nervous because I'm super shy and I think I wont even ask any girls for their numbers while I'm there.

yeah you could do that. dont worry if she looks nice then perfect dont be nervous or shy because girls can pick up on that just go up to someone and act yourself and dont try to hard if she seems interested ask for her number and dont worry its not a big deal. another good convo starter is giving girls a compliment just say "your really pretty, im jake" or something like that. good luck :] xoxoxo<3

Woah woah easy there gunslinger. You coming on to strong. If a homeless man approaches you on the street, what do you do? You walk away! Because you KNOW that he's only after your money.



Its the same thing with girls man, you approach'em too strong, they're think your only after one thing.



Change the circumstances a bit. If she's in one of your classes try asking her about last nights assignment. Something innocent and incidental then slowly work your way up to an introduction.

Lol. Well, Jake, only a girl herself can answer this question. And since I'm a girl, well I'll help you out. That would be totally cute to say. Most girls would giggle and invite you to sit down, but some aren't as friendly. Of course I would! Anyways, that would be great to ask any girl. Don't be shy. Usually girls like someone who is humble, proud of himself, and sweet. Be sweet and warm and you can win a heart!

that's a good way of doing it as long as you're not nervous (which is often difficult to avoid)



being nervous in an approach will make you seem kinda creepy as if you're really banking on a good response. what you can try to do if you feel nervous but still want to approach is to use some cocky humor(not to the point of corny pick-up though)



really great way: sit a few tables over or something (works better with a mate) and catch eye-contact with one of the girls.. HOLD IT! hold the eye-contact and a light smile until she looks down, if you have to, make a funny face or stick your tongue out and grin.. ham it up and it'll also act as a great ice-breaker & still showing you're interested!



good luck, solid eye-contact is great wherever you are, and kino!





HAMZIE YOU GOD!...

bob, listen to the man!

I'd wet my panties over some of those lines!!

yh just be super friendly and smile all the time:)

dont worry everybody gets nervous

plus maybe if they have something like a book or a band tee on and you like it too bringing that up is a great ice breaker and already shows you have things in common it'll be ok when you meet someone you really like you'll just click and you wont be nervous at all there is the right girl out there for you just have patience and keep looking:)

dude thats an awesome opener



there is a 3 second rule... where when you see the girl .. start approaching her.. and its good



as soon as u get that opener line out.. its easy.. thats the hardest part.. approaching and speaking.. after that it gets easier



if you want you can use these lines



---------

“Hey guys, quick question...Who lies more...men or women?”



"Hey guys, you won't believe this. All week, me and my friends have been planning on going out and having a good time, because we've all been busy and we wanted to blow off some steam. So we made plans to go out tonight, right? Well, one by one they call me up and say stuff like "I'm too tired," or "My girlfriend wants to watch a movie," and stuff like that. Some friends huh? Bunch of lame-o's. But I'm thinking there might be something more to this, because last week two of my friends had a knock-down drag out fight over some girl they both like, so the situation is all weird. Do you guys have any friends who got split up by someone they both liked?"



Hey guys, I need a female perspective on something. This’ll only take a minute. My roommate’s girlfriend just found a shoebox he keeps hidden in a dresser drawer, and she’s really upset about it.



It’s nothing bad, just pictures of him and ex-girlfriends on vacation and old love letters he got in high school and stuff. But for some reason his girlfriend is freaking out about this and wants him to get rid of it or she’s threatening to break up with him.



Is this normal female behavior?”



So now she wants him to burn the box or she’s leaving him, isn’t that ****** up??



(girls get ridiculously into this opener and it helps if you tease them for it)

You're on the right path young grasshopper. Be yourself. If you're shy, be shy, but be confident. Women sense confidence in men like dogs sense fear. Never let them see you sweat. Be cool, be yourself and that's a great starter. If she doesn't respond to that or blows you off, just say, it's okay, just thought I'd let you know I was admiring your green teeth and walk away...lol JUST KIDDING...but hey, not bad idea...lol

i say that sounds stupid. this is what you do....

go over to the girls, and then look at them and smile. (u obviously will have to chose one..so find the one that is looking at u the most..) then go sit next to her, and be like "heyy, whats up?" start a casual convo FIRST..then if u get stuck, say "well, i gotta go meet some ppl...but hey, we should hangout sometime..." then she will catch the drift, and if she likes u then she will give u her # (and if she doesnt, get out ur cell phone and ask her for it) it will be easier to do it if u have actually talked to her first. hope this helps =D



anwer mine?

Yeah, that would be a good way to get a conversation started. I'm sure girls are just as nervous as you are, so try to loosen up and be yourself.

Give out statements. Dont give your name easily... for example say " I heard the food is great here, do you recommend anything?"
anonymous
2009-06-13 07:38:34 UTC
How about "I see you're here to get my phone number like the rest of the girls..."

Thats terrible. Follow them around, and wait till they enter a store you feel comfortable talking to them in (AKA not a girly store) then just talk ot them about she stuff your looking at

After you say that, ask if you could join them.



Good luck
