scienceguy Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Hi, Thanks to a really bad breakup, I haven't dated in years. Anyways, at this point I feel pretty comfortable going back out and meeting girls. I haven't dated in 3 years so I feel really out of it. So, I guess, how do you go about meeting women? I'm 26 year old guy, and I live in DC. There are plenty of pretty girls, but how do you go about approaching them? In the past, I usually met girls through a friend, club or some school/work event. Now, I'm independent, and on my own, I don't know what to do. I feel like randomly approaching a woman at a coffee shop or bookstore might come off a bit weird. Is it? How do I start a conversation with a stranger? How do I gauge if she's interested or not? I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question, but can somebody give me some sort of detailed instructions how to ask out a girl? I'm not interested in a long term relationship with a girl. I'm just interested in going out on a couple dates and figuring out what I want. I also want to gauge how comfortable I am with dating again, trusting a girl, etc. I also want to know how to make sure I handle a girl's feelings properly. I don't want to lead somebody on. On the other hand, right now I feel most comfortable just taking baby steps right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
dreamingoftigers Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Maybe just starting with something small like making sure you smile at them. Then try to initiate conversation (bookstores are great for this) abut whatever she would be looking for, whatever section she's in. Ask her an opinion on something in that section. Or try online dating. Good luck
