OK, first up I'm not a player, nor am I loser etc but as I got into my mid-20's Ive found its a whole different ball game to late teens/ early 20's. I never used to have problems meeting woman, but these days I just don't seem to be able to do it.

Ive been in a few situations recently when ive been in a pub with my friends and a girl is eyeing me up, but I just seem to freeze and never make the move.

So ladies, your at the other end of the bar, how would you like to be approached considering your checking a guy out? Is it as simple as hello, because its not that simple for us poor guys. Moreover i'm talking about every day life, not just in pubs. In my mind its so simple, but damn girls are scary!

If we find you attractive, it really is as simple as saying hello. Be confident its a turn-on. If we are interested, we wont let you slip away grin wine

Why be afraid? The worst anyone can say is "no"..Words cant really hurt you..Just go over to her and smile, say hi and tell her your name.. Then ask what her name is..If she continues to talk to you then most likely you made a friend..If she acts like she isnt interested then just exit stage left..lol

If I'm already checking him out, a smile and anything even remotely humorous will open the door to further conversation and interaction... what follows the opening remark is easier because there is some "flow" then... but what happens after the opening remark is also much more important.

I was a non-drinker from age 20-40, but went to bars like everyone else and had a lovely time. Be careful about the assumptions you make.handshake

Yes I can sympathise! It can't be easy being expected to make the first approach. In my opinion, the best thing to do is to think of something you like about the woman you want to approach first, and then smile, make eye contact, walk up to her, and say to her: Forgive me for interrupting but..... then something sincere like.... "I couldn't help but notice your beautiful smile - it just lights up the room"... or "I just wanted to say that you are looking gorgeous tonight!"... something like that. If she is worth pursuing, she will smile back at you and graciously accept your compliment. You can then ask if you can buy her a drink, or just start chatting in an easy way... like... "excuse the cliche but do you come here often?" or "so are you girls enjoying your evening?" etc etc.

Well, that would work for me anyway.... if I felt a mutual attraction! grin

:I wasn't offended by the first statement I responded to: it clearly did not apply to me. I'm not even offended by this one.

I am, however, a little confused as to why you think I'm targeting you.... or why my presence here makes you so defensive.

my guess is she feels threatened by any female on here who looks attractive and has some intelligence..sorry if i sound mean but shes been attacking me from the get go..assuming stuff and now any other female who has the nerve to disagree with her.
