Kamille Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 How about a friendly smile and a "Hello" - hold eye contact a few extra seconds. Evidently you are shy - that's a safe way of making some contact and opening the door for him/her to talk to you. Never underestimate the power of a genuine smile and a warm hello. Here here. I'm a big fan of the start small approach. And don't forget, everything gets easier with repetition and practice makes perfect.
directx Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Why dont you just hold up a bottle of chocolate syrup and one of strawberry syrup and ask which one he would rather eat off your ass?

Lostgurl Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 You could grab a can of whip cream and ask him what he thinks of whip cream bikini's.

Look, your going to be the only one trying to make a pick-up here. Homeboy isnt really looking for a date, at the same time he wont turn one down either. Besides does anyone know what constitutes a flirty look anyway??? Look directly at him. Once you catch his eye, look away. Then look back at him and smile. Thats how you start a flirt session!

You can always tell her you spilled some chocolate syrup on your sheets. Nice going on the grocery pick up Cobra!

Cobra_X30 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 You can always tell her you spilled some chocolate syrup on your sheets. Nice going on the grocery pick up Cobra! Dude thats nothin... I got this chick to call me. I was in the passenger seat at a stoplight and there was an ice cream shop to my right. I waved at the girl working there... and she waved back. I blew her a kiss and began hand signing my cell #. I missed the last digit so I figured, Oh Well. 15 minutes later I get a call from a girl named Jessica... yeah thats right. Turns out she is 16... LOL... WELL under my age limit! Oh well. It was a valiant attempt!
Cobra_X30 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 You could always do what my bother did and carry around a pad of paper and a spanish/english book. You have no idea! Ive been using Babel Fish translation engine.... LOL. This date is going to be a spanglish disaster on my end. I can order beers and tell her how beautiful she is.... but no worries, I plan to alternate these two statements, until I remember another... like I have to go potty! LOL.

I witnessed it first hand and about peed my pants from laughing. It was so bad that he told her the wrong time he was going to pick her up. LOL!!! But I'm sure you'll be fine. Just takes some time.
Trialbyfire Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 If you want to meet this guy, find something on the highest shelf and do your helpless jumping while he's around. Look around helplessly and if he's still stunned, ask him to help you reach it but make sure not to move out of the way so he gets close enough for you to spot a wedding band.

Im afraid I told her that her grandma was very pretty... and that I sleep with donkeys, or smell like donkeys. I could use some help... !

What if he gets intimidated by your sheer attractiveness?
Trialbyfire Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 What if he gets intimidated by your sheer attractiveness? Oh, don't worry. I've done this a million times, not to attract guys but because everything I want is always on the top shelf. Drives me crazy. All she has to do is give him a blinding smile afterwards with feminine little thank-you and then she can have him eating out of her hand. All done.
InLimbo2 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I'm seriously offended that you would encourage the use of a legitimate disability (vertically challenged) as a dating ploy *posted by all 5'3" of me* If you want to meet this guy, find something on the highest shelf and do your helpless jumping while he's around.

Author underpants Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 Ha, I whore it up at Lowes with no shame. I even have a standard 'would you mind cutting some wood for me?' line. (Always works, no charge). The men at Lowes ...they all loves the Unders, and the Unders loves them. I have my wood men, my screw men...yes, one that likes to talk about pipes, I have no problem in the home improvement centers. This particuliar man at the grocery store. He had the little 'I am single' basket. I really do think I have met him before. It just bothers me that I cannot place him. Oh well, all of this advice has been helpful and entertaining. I will definately do better next time I see an opportunity.
InLimbo2 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Aren't home improvement places just fantastic!

However, I am thinking I was introduced to him and I found him attractive then I heard alot of stories that made me think...too bad. I am not sure though. Part of me was ....ohhh Unders. If you think he is attractive you know there is something terribly wrong with him. This is my insecurity/and a little history talking though. Oh well.
InLimbo2 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I was single long enough to fully appreciate what you said - he's good looking - and single -what's wrong with him?

Trialbyfire Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I'm thinking hard... Okay, got another one. To piggyback off Touche's theme about steak, if you're in the grocery aisle, stand in front of the best choice cut steaks next to a cutie, look perplexed. Pick one up, put it back down, remember ladies, look really confused. Glance at the cutie a few times, as if debating on asking him something. Hopefully he'll be the kind of guy who knows what steaks he likes. Finally, give a little sigh, look directly at him and ask him if he barbeques. All guys like to play with fire so the odds are good. Anyways, tell him you're having a couple over for dinner and you don't have a clue what kind of steak works best on your new BBQ that you just bought yourself. So sorry, I don't have any male companions to ask.... Again, he will want to rescue the poor little woman and wax eloquent about steak quality and temperature, maybe even the type of rub to put onto it... Thank-you with big admiring eyes... All done.
sweetbutcheeky Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I guess this hansome man shops at my grocery store. Actually, this store has quite a few hansome men. Hmm Where is this grocery store or what chain is it? All I see at mine are old ladies and couples. It is handy right by work and across from my bus stop, but no guys. Maybe I need to switch!
Kamille Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I googled picking up at the grocery store and they recommand going to 'specialty stores'. Of course all advice is geared towards men and they therefore advise them to go to avoid 7-11 (who ever considers this a grocery store ?) and go to specialty stores. I am trying to figure out where men would hang out in my area and I'm guessing: record stores (I'm looking for something that will rock me), the butcher's or deli stores (do you know if this salami is hot?), sports stores (excuse me, can you show me how to swing this bat?). The meat section of grocery stores is likely ideal. In all the advice geared towards men, they tell them to go to the vegetable sections.
