Well i personally think u should tell him really nice and innocently but thats the kinda person i am >cut to the chase< honesty is the best policy ;)

Is he a close friend? coz then he'll understand and then u wont ruin ur friendship.. but it will be ackward if u do get together and then break up but thats what happens when u get with ur friends

i got bored after reading to baout page 9 as it all seemed the same....

the most important things although they have been said so many times are to BE YOURSELF, DONT SCREW UP AND DEFINATLY DO NOT CALL THE GIRL THEY WERE HANGING AROUND WITH EARLIER SAD AND FAT!!!!...........trust me i have this weird problem where as soon as i think the girl is starting to like me i say something stupid or do something stupid..

but i have had a few decent reationships i find either looking very intrested in the conversation but not saying much only a few things or being a little party in yourself work well.......my advice is probably the worst on this forum but its wat i do :)


p.s. wow i started reading this when there were only 14 pages...

Are you.... by any chance.... drunk?
LOL!

I know I have a chance, but I want to wait until his relationship dies, last thing I need is awkwardness between us. And I don't need the girfriend to get involved, either = /

If he's hitting on you, then obviously there's some thought on it on his end about a relationship. Just subtlely let him know you're interested. You'd be surprised what might happen. Maybe he'd rather be with you, but he never thought you were interested in him.

It's all you can do. If you like both people and they like eachother it's best for their hapiness.

Your concience wont keep you warm at night, but it wont keep you awake (which it would it you did anything else).

All you can do is take a few days away from seeing him over the holidays and if you start to feel you feelings waver, go somewhere where you will find loads of guys of your type. Unless you really like someone so much you get tunnel vision(and I have been there) you cant fail to enjoy a good perving (well its not really perving as perversion is going against nature and theres nothing unatural about enjoying it) session at the oppostie sex.

If you're going to use a pick-up line try this...

In conversation...

"Hey, just curious, if you were a pirate would you have a parrot on this shoulder?"

*Put your hand on one shoulder*

"Or this one?"

Now this is key...

*Slide your hand around her neck and to the other shoulder keep full body contact and don't shake you nervous bastard (general statement not calling anyone a bastard unless they deserve it...)*

Lead her to the bar and offer a drink...

All you have to do is seem like you dont care. Everytime a girl talkes to me I just don't seem interested. It works there not used not to being the center of attention. Just play it really cool, and for god's sake don't mention video games. :)

It's a good line to use to show that you've got a sense of humor. I don't think I'd ever use it to a girl and expect them to think I was serious. But it would probably go a long way towards showing that I'm funny.

Just grab them by the breasts and ask in the LOUDEST voice possible, "WANNA FUCK?!?!???"

Or try netspeak. That's sexy too. Nothing turns a woman on more than hearing "ROFL" or "LOL" or "SEX0R." Also refer to her as "U" or "TEH ONLEE 1".

If this fails, use a roofie.

......please note that post must be taken with enough sarcasm to knock over all the elephants of the Serengeti, and reflects my belief that asking for ways to get laid over the Internet is rather silly. ^_^;;;;;;;

I rather approve of the pirate idea, though....although every girl I know would collapse with laughter onto the floor.

Actually, to be serious for a short moment, if you can learn not to get offended when you're laughed at, or at least to get the joke, you'll do far better with the opposite sex than someone who gets embarrassed.

Hey, there's this big party that I'm going to with well over 300 people, many girls ;) in there. I'm kinda new to this so I wanted a few pointers about how to approach girls and see wich ones are interested and those that aren't and that kinda stuff. Thx.


It's pretty simple really. You just walk up to them and say "Hi". You'll know soon enough if they are interested.

Oh yeah, and skip the lame "opening lines". They all suck. And dress well - ZZ Top had it right. Women are generally fashionable creatures. They appreciate the same in a man.



Actually, one other thing. Go for the prettiest girl in the bar. Most boys won't. They go up to the group that the girl is with, wimp out, and wind up chatting one of her friends. You cut through the friends and go straight for her in an open, friendly, and confident manner - and she WILL be impressed because that doesn't happen often. Even if you're scared shitless to do it - trust me, it's the only way you will ever get her. You can't "work up" to her. That is NEVER a winable strategy.


Besides - If you're going to get shot down, it might as well be from as great a height as possible.

Other than that, relax, have fun, and don't put any pressure on yourself. If it hapens it happens. If you are worried about it happening - it probably won't.

Who gets to pick which is first or second best? Beauty is, after all, subjective. The main point being not to wimp out and not go for what you are attracted to, and that the prettiest girl in a group is actually the one that usually gets the least attention. She gets a lot of sideways looks, nervous comments, and knows that the guys are interested, but it is her friends that wind up getting the bulk of the dates because the guys wimp out on her and take something in her proximity as an excuse to be close to her but not have to take the risk of rejection.

And it is worth the risk!

Well then don't take my word for it. Ask beautiful women if it is true. but also ask yourself how many men you know that are intimidated by beautiful women. And consider all the times you see a group of men - perhaps your friends - staring at the beauty in the bar, but how few actually screw up the courage to go and talk to her. Most enjoy the view but set their sights lower.

Sometimes they might just assume that any woman who looks that good must have a significant other. Few bother to check in person.

This isn't just my opinion based on personal experience dating - it's also what I witnessed in my decade of bartending watching the way the group dynamics play out.

Anyway, I'm just givin my opinions here. Take 'em or leave 'em. And besides - what the hell do I know about dating anymore.... it's been a while.

To be honest, I wasn't paying all that much attention to the movie - it was after all a chick flick and I was there under duress. Nevertheless I do remember something about settling for second best being the optimum strategy.

To get girls, go up and ask thier views on the nations attitude to cunnilingus. At worst, they cant even slap you because youre not sounding rude enough, and at best, youll have a friend for life.

Its flawless.

I wouldn't call you crazy, just presumtive and/or desperate. With the girl I like, I try to convince myself that some things are expressing interest, even though she already has a boyfriend, but I know that's just primarily wishful thinking. Since I would be perfectly happy with just a normal friendship with her, I just try to leave it at that until I see a window of opportunity.

I'm not desperate. I'm just in denial!


Okay, seriously. I'm not desperate. I just have too much free time during class. Obviously I know the difference between what I am able to assume is a girl looking at me in interest and what is reality.

Guys, stop worrying about having an instant realationship the first night you met a girl.
Don't worry about being witty or funny, just be yourself. Say hello. Talk.
If you get any feedback, continue talking. Unless the girl makes a move, dont try to get physical, but get a phone number.

If you're an interesting person, you'll have interesting things to say, and she'll be drawn in by your conversation. But if you're looking for a valuble list of activities, being on nationstates forums alot is not good.
Sports are GOOD and your ability doesn't matter. The girl will get the message that you're social, dedicated, and take care of yourself, plus that you have a hot body. Seriously. I don't care if you only played two minutes last season. You went to practice and were part of the sweat and comraderie.
But if sports aren't your thing, that's o.k. Tell her what interests you. Be yourself. Sure, confidence, intelligence, and humor are the number one sexy things, but everybody's different. Here are little things you can do, though, to make HER want to approach YOU.
Give her the subtle up-down. Look breifly into her eyes, and then turn away as if you're trying to hide your smile. A few minutes later, sneak another glance, prolong the eye contact, then grin, barely bite your lip and look away again. She'll be over there within five minutes.
When you talk, keep it casual, but as conversation progresses, call her "kiddo" or, if there's an excuse, "sweetie". Like, she trips, you help her up, "You o.k. sweetie?" But don't do it like you're trying to be overly intense or claim her as yours, just as though its a normal part of your vocabulary.
Touch her shoulder or her hip lightly. It's like electricity. Finger her hair for a second.

You guys are too funny. In a pleasant sort of way, largely.

I'm a girl, and considered attractive by some, and I am most interested in the kind of guy who is willing to keep a conversation going without letting there be awkward silences. In a party setting, this means joining a group of people that includes a girl you like who are talking and working your way into the conversation (without being a lout of course), and then keeping the conversation going, with special interest to the girl and what she is saying.

And don't spend too much time staring at her tits.

Hey, I'm a girl, so I think I can help here.

Ok, first of all, it helps a LOT if you become a girl's friend first. We like that, cause then we learn to trust you and we're comfortable with each other in the first place. In fact, this might lead to the girl liking you. When you do this, just treat her mostly like any other person--keeping in mind that she's a girl, don't start telling dirty jokes you would with your buddies normally or anything stupid like that. If there's any chance of a connection, and you do this correctly, you have a grade-A shot at the girl.

I hate it when guys do that.

in fact, I always tell guys that I become friends with, "You know, if I was interested in you as more then just a friend I would have told you already."

Honesty right off the bat is key.

if you like a girl, tell her.

Easy, guys:

Just pretend you're gay. Chicks will flock to you, they love guys they can approach without having to fear for their physical integrity. After that, show them how sensitive and in touch with your feminine side you are. A few weeks later, say you're starting to think you might be bi, and that you'd like to at least try.

You'd be amazed at the results. Or so I'm told.
I always thought the best way would be to tell them that you're a 'Gay Christian virgin'. This would give such a huge challenge - they're having to overcome 3 obstacles!
You should be hesitant all night til the end where you make a show that they've convinced you over to their side.
The other plus is that you can also mention just before you do anything that as you are Gay, you'd like to do, you know, the OTHER way. ;)





Back to the original question - best thing to do is not to talk too much and ask them about themselves. Everyone loves the chance to talk about themselves and guys (myself included) usually make the bad mistake of trying to talk too much about what they've done in an attempt to impress the girl. Until you have it done to you or watch someone doing it, you have no idea just how fucking boring it is to sit for an hour listening to someone else go on and on about what they've done.
So even if she says she's done something you've done, resist the urge to launch into a spiel about your experiences. Mention that you've done the same thing (hence showing you've got something in common) but unless she specifically asks you to go into detail, leave it at that. Ask her questions that allow her to talk more and give more detail.
Example:
Good:
she: "I tried bungee jumping last year"
you: "Hey, I did it a couple of years back, as well. It was cool. Where did you do it?"

Bad:
she: "I tried bungee jumping last year"
you: "Hey I did that. When was it? 2, maybe 2 1/2 years ago. I was on holiday in New Zealand and we were in Queenstown. That place is Awesome! We went jet-boating, paragliding, white-water rafting - hey that reminds of a really funny story that happened when we went rafting......." etc etc etc.

Get the point?

Uh, there's an awful lot of pages here...don't suppose anyone would be kind enough to summarize? Or at least direct me to the money posts?

Uh, my take on how to approach girls: be charming, but not dinsincere. Be dashing, but not narcissistic. Be mysterious, but not creepy. Be friendly, but not entirely platonic unless a friend is all you want. Be flirtatious, but not domineeringly forward. Easier said than done, sure, but that's generally what I think might work.

Oh, and one more thing: everything that I just said is superceded by what the actual girl wants. Every girl is different, and to properly court or woo her, one must ascertain the correct approach for that particular girl. There is no universal method, only the general trend. To define the correct method to approach a girl on anything other than a case-by-case basis is disrespectful and plainly unfair to the young lady. Cliched as it may be, to find the best girl for you is indeed to be yourself.

1. Never talk religion, politics, or sports to a girl. I've been offended by more men this way. Too many men like the ones on this board, who think I should believe what they believe without question. Then they want to get into my pants. Sorry, no can do, because I don't have sex with morons.

2. Be yourself. Of course, if you don't have a life, this is rather difficult. So get a life first, and then be yourself.

3. Don't waste your time on women who don't know what they want.

4. Learn how to make love (practice on some poor unfortunate, not me). If you're lousy, I'm throwing you out of the room right away. I don't care how good looking you are if you're done in an instant, or have no idea what you're doing. I'm not your sex ed teacher.

Some girls want that - and some don't. Make sure you can tell which is which. And if you're planning on offering the emotional bonding thing, you had better not be a player. I'll put your scrotum in the microwave on HI.

Hey, I'm a girl, so I think I can help here.

Ok, first of all, it helps a LOT if you become a girl's friend first. We like that, cause then we learn to trust you and we're comfortable with each other in the first place. In fact, this might lead to the girl liking you. When you do this, just treat her mostly like any other person--keeping in mind that she's a girl, don't start telling dirty jokes you would with your buddies normally or anything stupid like that. If there's any chance of a connection, and you do this correctly, you have a grade-A shot at the girl.

oh dear god, no. two simple words as to why this is the worst idea ever - LADDER THEORY (http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html).

you know why "nice guys finish last"? because the "nice guy" is too busy watching sex and the city and drinking mocha lattes with the girl he wants to let her know he wants her. and before he knows it, he's permanently stuck on the friends ladder. i'm not saying be a complete asshole, just play the game the way it's supposed to be played. if you like a girl, ask her out. don't pull this "let's be friends for a long time even though i secretly want you" kinds of things. it's pointless, and i guarantee you 9 times out of 10, when you decide to "break the news" that you're in love with this girl, she won't feel the same way, because a long time ago she classified you as a friend, not a potential boyfriend. trust me, it's truth.

The added emphasis is mine. "Game?" Love is no emotion with which to be trifled. Frankly, I am of the opinion that a young lady will be more willing to love a close friend than someone with less subtlety.

Granted, it generally isn't wise to concentrate solely on friendship. For sake of communication, it is nearly imperative to establish that there is some intent of progressing beyond friendship. This can be established by either flirting or a discreet message in either written or verbal form, when the opportunity presents itself for open discussion. But the shock factor by a near-complete-stranger announcing his passions in any manner that is less than subtle may overwhelm or entirely squelch any feelings of being flattered or any willingness to reciprocate.

Still, if your method works for you, by all means, continue using it. I'm just saying that I disagree somewhat with your perspective on love--assuming, of course, that love and not physical interaction is the subject at hand (no pun intended).

Then we take into account things like teeth, status, motivation, personality, looks, friendliness, parents, friends, money, do they drive, do they work, do they take drugs, do they intend to join the army and expect us to follow them for the next 12 years....

Easy, guys:

Just pretend you're gay. Chicks will flock to you, they love guys they can approach without having to fear for their physical integrity. After that, show them how sensitive and in touch with your feminine side you are. A few weeks later, say you're starting to think you might be bi, and that you'd like to at least try.

You'd be amazed at the results. Or so I'm told.

take it from a girl's perspective: gay attributes are not attractive. hope you didn't attend the party already! have fun!

That site certainly has some truth in it, but the flaw I see is that it views the ultimate goal of all heterosexual relationships to be sex. Which I disagree with. Sure, I might want to sleep with the girl I currently like, but I am perfectly happy just being friends. She's such an interesting person that that extra part is not necessary, even if it desirable.

Hey, there's this big party that I'm going to with well over 300 people, many girls ;) in there. I'm kinda new to this so I wanted a few pointers about how to approach girls and see wich ones are interested and those that aren't and that kinda stuff. Thx.
Start with a big smile in passing, and keep your eyes open. Don't walk around with a goofy grin, but smile if you make eye contact, and let it reach your eyes. Don't look creepy about it. And #1 above all else, act confident. If you guys exchange smiles a couple times, talk to her. Start with something to the effect of a dolled up version of hello. Don't be afraid to add a little cheese, but not enough to be to noticable. Dressing nicely and proper grooming are always huge plusses. Might I also reccomend Tuscanny. Adopting a fake accent doesn't hurt either as long as it doesn't sound fake. The thicker the better, and it doesn't particularly matter what kind, unless you don't look the part. ex: black guys probably couldn't get away with an oriental accent.

I figure it's a good idea to figure out (from her friend or something) what she likes. And do something that will get her to take some interest in you. Thus, it'll take all the pressure off you when she comes onto you. And you can act like your in a movie and have that perfect moment and fall into her arms...

Okay, so I don't actually think it'll happen like that....it'll go something like this:

I have a suspicion that this girl I'm after is pro-Bush. So I'd get into an idle chat with my friend with her within earshot about how Bush is a good President and give good, intellectual reasons. She hears me, she takes interest. I eventually talk with her, we're friends. I decide what to do from there.

As a girl who is very captivated by physics, computers, and math, I must add that sports are not bad. I have an IQ over 110, but despite that still enjoy running, biking, swimming, sailing, and just about everything else physical.

Not necessarily. At the most basic level, yes, but that's not the only reason we talk to girls. It is very possible (if not very likely) that a guy finds a girl whom he finds both physically attractive and an excellent friend. It is in such situations that the need for close bonding may, on occasion, supercede the desire for sex.

Not necessarily, intially, perhaps, I only approach girls at random that I fancy, well 90% of the time, but once I know someone this doesnt apply. I have plenty of female friends I dont fancy at all and some of those I never have.

However yes, having someone to lavish all that creative attention and time on for the rest of ones life would be very appealing. And yes, when I hit it off with an attractive girl on a deep level I go mad for her. It's normally at this point, just before I make a move I find she is taken. But the point is, um...

Okay, being a female myself this is what generally happens.

If you want to score, be a dumbass. Preferably a hot one. Make the chick laugh, once you have her laughing all you have to do is give her a few more drinks and walk to her a bedroom. That doesn't just apply to sluts, it works for all the ones that aren't locked up in a church. If you want to continue this worry-free, casual sex partnership, get her number. If you want to forget her, don't give her yours.....

OK, it really depends on if you are just trying to get laid .....
Many girls who will jump in the sack with you the first night they meet you will be into money....make sure to offer her another drink the moment her starts to run low. If she says something along the lines that she thinks she may be to drunk and she does stupid things when she gets drunk you have to tell her that she doesn't seem drunk at all to you. You have to say this even if they are slurring their words so bad you can hardly understand them. ....

Did any of you ever even pause to think that we might actually have advice worth listening to since, oh I don't know, WE'RE THE GENERAL TARGETS???? Who know girls better then other girls after all? I can assure you, very few of you have useful advice. It seems only the guys with girlfriends or actual experiance in a relationship have any good advice. And i don't mean one night stands you bakas.

Ok, now that thats out of my system, to try to help you Todays Romans, just talk to her. As far as I know, thats all flirting is. But make sure her boyfriend isn't around. Also, you may just want to wait and see if she breaks up with him or not. Let her know your interested, but if she says no, that means no. Don't push it. You might also just be better off being friends with her. Thats all I can recomend.

seriously, that's the best way....probably the best bit of advice on this board

you can't expect to get a girl if you can't even get some good social skills

Yet again. Fools. No. Honestly, dont you read my posts ever! :P

Seriously, bad idea, you fall for the girls she puts you in the safe friend zone. Um its happened to me 8 times. It hurts. Dont do it.

Did it ever occur to you you might be trying that with the WRONG TYPE OF GIRL??? And yes, there are types of girls just like theres types of guys. Some you can tell dirty jokes to because they're tomboyish, some you have to be extremely careful around because they could pound you into the ground because you accidentally insulted them, and some you just need to treat like normal people. Every person in here has been giving advice, and some of its good stuff, but the problem is you are all trying to apply it to all girls. My boyfriend was a friend before he was my boyfriend, I had no problem with that. Some girls won't date friends out of fear they will screw something up. Some are very trusting, some don't trust other people at all. You have to use advice that applies to your situation. But the typically frequantely good advice I've seen so far is JUST TALK TO THEM LIKE YOU WOULD ANY OTHER PERSON AND BE YOUR BLOODY SELF!!!!

Well Well Well.....

First pretending to be gay...will only get you girls who want to go to art museums with you and take you shopping.

had to say that.

Anyway....This whole thread is hilarious..I look at it and laugh. First off don't make the title of your thread "How to approach girls" because then it fits right in with " How to find the perfect pet" and " How to get rich quick" It makes it sound like girls are objects, or something you can buy *rolls eyes* Second of all, any girl who knew you got advice about this on the internet on a thread, will probably laugh at you... no not with you...at you.

best way to approach girls is to be honest, and know the girl. Trail and error is lifes little way of giving us speedbumps ;)

No im not a girl. No im not a man alone in life. no im not a bloody kid trying to sound smart. Im just an average guy like yourself probably :) and none of my advice is rocket science.

Good luck though :rolleyes:

Some advice from an old fogey (maybe not yet, but getting there fast ;)

You can do one night stands and relationships based primarily on sex, but I highly recommend not to. You can do it for a while, but should be only a stage you pass through. Dating or going to bars/parties/clubs to pick up girls basically stupid, why would you want to be with someone you don't know? To me that's missing the point completely, it's like drinking cheap beer instead of really good wine. My advice: make friends with girls just as you do with guys, just hanging out or doing things you enjoy. Don't rush. One day there will be a girl who is your best friend and you will decide that you want to go beyond that. If you are sincerely scared of romance because you don't want to mess up your friendship, then you know you are on the right track. If you are really lucky you will discover depths to a relationship you didn't even imagine existed.

quit playing diablo.
I totally agree. Diablo II: Lord of Destruction is MUCH better.

Regarding that post about the thread title, I don't think the title is TOTALLY invalid. There are certain approaches that certainly work better than others in general (I can't think of any girl I know that has a thing for axe murderers), and despite the implication of the words "how to," the thread-starter seems to be in earnest.

Certainly girls are the best sources of advice regarding other girls, but that doesn't mean that our opinions as guys are worthless. A guy's perspective might be helpful to another guy, and I think we're entitled to at least share our experiences to try and help the thread-starter.

Well if you have to ask this in an Internet forum full of a bunch of geeks that like pretending they run a nation. You might as well give up now and become a furry because the only action your going to get is with a man in a Raccoon suit.

Since when are English and Social Studies (the main concepts of NationStates) students Geeks? That's the stupiest thing I ever heard!

Coming from a girl i'd say just ACT NORMAL. Talk to them and make them laugh.
And be cute, that always helps. :p

Make eye contact. If she smiles or looks shy you can try approaching her. Once you've introduced yourself, you can ask questions that require more than a yes, no answer (people usually like talking about themselves). That's the hard way. The easiest way is to try to get your friends to introduce you to girls they know and you do the same for them. Group things are always easier at first. Good luck.

Ah, well I try the submarine approach. Come out of no where and shag them while they aren't looking..No, wow everyone isn't gonna read anything else in this post..

I have had only one relationship with a girl that was tilting towards "serious". This relationship was very easy going, we hung out almost always with a group, but we definitely had some vibes going...then a freaking white guy walked by and she left me for him. Wench...

My suggestion on how to approach a girl, treate them like a very important person, keep eye contact, smile a lot (make sure your teeth are clean).

Be interested in her and her friends, but be honest. If she is a glass collector, don't pretend to be interested and don't lie to her. You can easily get out of hurting her feelings by saying
"Glass collecting sounds really dynamic, and you seem like the perfect and most intelligent gal to be doing something that could take that much time and patience..."

That is code for

"glass collecting is super gay, and I would let you know if I was more drunk, but I really do like you and you seem super smart and patient, so I can understand how you enjoy collecting, just don't make me do it with you a lot."

If she starts getting physical, that is up to you. You can play hard to get, or just be smooth and go along with it..

As far as getting shot down continously? Well I've only had to deal with getting shot down 3 times so its not that big of a deal, plenty of girls like my looks and personality. But very few wanna get jiggy with it. ;) And even fewer do I like and aren't wenchs..

As a girl, here's my advice.
Make us laugh.
Some girls do like beer.
Not all girls like chick flicks.
We like to be told we look good, even when we know we don't. Unless, of couse, we've just had an accident with an exploding milkshake.

Glass-collecting :p Personally, I'd prefer this ...
Me, I'm into ... myself, but glass-collecting sounds kinda interesting - how long have you been into it? Does it take up a lot of your time?

Anyhow, Helennia, that is a lot a better. Instead of just commenting on it, comment and tell a little about yourself, and then ask questions to get to know her better...brilliant. There is still hope for me left...

Always harder to do than say, but here are some pointers:

Approach them casually, and be receptive to their body language
Be funny (crucial)
Keep the conversation going, and try to find their interests

It's different for all girls. These guidelines are good for people you don't know, but if you really know them well, you should know how to get them. If they turn you down, that means they consider you a really good friend and nothing more. Take it from a guy with experience.

Are you telling me to not philosophise, and to not share my musings with people who are interested? I have no proof, but he asked a question, and I answered in what I thought the best way.
Lol, that is kind of true...

I use to hang out with some gay friends at a local gay club all the time and I have never in my life scored with so many girls as I have after I started hanging out there.
Sometimes you hit on the wrong girl ofcourse (lesbian ones), but that has never been a problem either as long as you are polite. Every night I have at least one or two napkins with girls phonenumbers and an "Call me!!!" note.. It has brought me a lot of fun...

15-01-2005, 03:17
I personally think that girls don't like being hit on they must get that way more than most guys do and I think they kinda get sick of it. I know it's not a very "get things done attitude" but I just let them come to me.
