NEVERland Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I've been pondering this since forever. I usually meet people through other people, (school is excluded, so for me, it's basically an entire network. But what if you see someone at a fair or something and want to get to know them. How do you go about doing that? Do you just go up to that person and go, "Hey, what's up?" I can hold a conversation with people, but it's people I already sort of know or do know. How do I start a conversation with someone random?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twenty4k Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Well if it was at a fair, you could line up with them for the same ride and ask them if they know how the ride works, then start talking from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest It4cH1 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 first evaluate the situation. you notice something about the person. talk about that. like "hey i like your shoes" and if they're interested maybe he'll start a convo then you can just introduce yourself, oh btw. my name is "." the most important thing you have to know about going to a stranger is keep your confidence up, and don't worry about being rejected. Cause think about it. Its a stranger. you'll never see them again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest _ATELIER Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 /slaps richard simmons. aye baby, /raises one eyebrow. lol. [hold up i just re-read the thread, and i honestly can't find any way to approach attractive strangers lol] they usually always end up being a friend of the moment...so i never put in much effort =_=, but i like that complimenting idea, just compliment the shoes or w.e and build off of it lol.

Guest babikorean Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Well if it was at a fair, you could line up with them for the same ride and ask them if they know how the ride works, then start talking from there. haha this year at a fair i saw a really cute boy sitting on the bench with his friends and i was in line for the ferris wheel. He didn't look occupied or anything so i just went up to him and said "hi, look i don't have anyone to ride the ferris wheel with! i'm a third wheel today, do you think you could save me and come on it with me??" he smiled and was like of course! from then on i made a friend with a complete stranger! we didn't exchange numbers or anything like that. it was just for fun lol!

Guest twenty4k Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 lol I'd be pretty startled if I was the boy, to have a random stranger go up to me like that. But I gotta admit that was a pretty swell idea to meet someone cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Regina Rae Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 If I think he's really attractive, then yes. Usually I will go say hi or something. It's usually at the mall & restaurants when I see these attractive guys. These are perfect places because they offer a lot of conversation starters.

Guest spiral_flare Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 lol This thread makes me laugh for some reason. I get so nervous around attractive people I don't think I could ever do that. But if you're feeling confident, honestly, just smile and say hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AS1AND0LL Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 You guys got courage if you are able to go up to a person who you thought was really attractive, I'd probably freeze up and just stare at them from afar rofl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishless Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hahaha some replies are so funny. I don't think I can ever approach a stranger...Unless maybe they looked interested in me too? Or else I'd be to scared. Yeah just try asking questions. They'll have to respond right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest L Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 A good pickup line always works, provided they have a sense of humour/can understand it. i.e you: Hi did you say something to me? them: er. . no? you: well then please start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
