Try getting her number and maybe she'll text YOU.

One girl i saw today had ipod on listening to music and 2 Ipods!!! Posting facebook messages on both There is no point in talking to them then. They have their gadgets so far up their @sses, so forget it. You don't want a girl that loves her gadgets more then you, do you? If you grow a pair you could just interrupt them and say "excuse me miss, can I have your number" or "can I interrupt you, would you like to go for coffee sometime?" Something along those lines. I don't know what else to tell you.
AHardDaysNight Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 As a man who loves gadgets, this would be a great way to start conversation. "Hey, you got that new iPhone? What do you think of it?" "Hey, what do you think of that new iCloud service? Pretty cool, huh?" "Are you a PC person, or Mac person? Really?! Me too!" "Did you download that new Coldplay album, or buy the cd? Oh, you're more into downloads? What's your favorite song off the new album?" However, if she has earbuds in her ear, chalk it up to this person does not want to be bothered, and move on. I put on my iPhone music app so that I can trance out, and listen to The Beatles, Christina Aguilera, The Beach Boys, U2, or Porcupine Tree. I imagine a girl would be the same with her music.

ShannonMI Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Dear Shannon, do you really think these lines are going to work on a stranger??? Instead of opening up, they will run away. Dear ffw, No I don't, but he could try. They will definitely run away when they hear his childlike voice and when he goes on and on about his teddy bear collection. I told him to just forget it, but if he decided to try to talk to them he could use those lines. Why not? They are appropriate, right?
carhill Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 There are plenty of people out in the world who aren't a slave to a smart phone, ipod, kindle, etc. Should you run into me anywhere in the world, you'll meet one of them. The key is meeting 'like-minded' people. I meet them all the time. So can you.

Like I said, you don't want a girl who loves her gadgets more then you.

If she wants to meet guys and finds you attractive, then she'll make eye contact and smile. If she won't do that for anyone (but wants a guy), then she can wonder later why she's chronically single.
D-Lish Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Dear Shannon, do you really think these lines are going to work on a stranger??? Instead of opening up, they will run away. They might work- you won't know unless you try. It's really only about playing the odds. The more women you approach, the better your chances of scoring a number. I have a male friend- he's one of those "chubby, but charming and funny guys". When we were younger, we'd go to a club/pub- and he'd start out with the hot girls, then by the end of the night, he'd just go from one drunk girl to the next aiming for a pick up. He had no issue making approach after approach, taking the rejection, and moving on. I'd say he took some poor girl home at least 50% of the times we went out. Play the odds- it doesn't have to be in a bar with alcohol involved- but if you don't approach, and if you're not willing to accept rejection, you're not likely to meet someone.
RiverRunning Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Sometimes I wish it were 1995 again. Everybody's hyper-connected. People can't even put down their phones or stop texting while they're driving cars. In the area where I live, it's at least a few times a year it makes the news that some bumpkin was cruising along at 70 MPH, texting until slamming into the back of a semi. My advice? Go to a school library. Sit near someone and start a quiet conversation. I can't stand people who are always hooked into the great machine. My partner is a little inclined to do this, and it infuriates me to no end. Your little iPhone games/texts/e-mails can wait until after dinner, thanks. Some of his friends were the type to invite us out to lunch and they would just text people on the phone the entire time. What's the point? Hit up a club. Most aren't texting or listening to iPods there. But it does mean you might have to find creative ways to get to talk to her while she's out with friends.
allina Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I don't understand why you keep focusing on all these tiny side issues. Right now these things are irrelevant. If you truly want to date, have gfs and have a "normal" life why won't you consider all the advise you've been given about getting yourself to a stage where these things are possible?
Author quietGuy13 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 My advice? Go to a school library. Sit near someone and start a quiet conversation. When i go to the library they're all in IPods and Laptops. Many peopel don't go to the library to read physical books. It's incredible Also, girls in Cafes ....all with laptops or ipods. This society is going wack
zengirl Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 If someone has any interest in talking to you, regardless of the level of gadget-engagement they have, they'll present themselves as potentially open to talking to you. Even before all these "gadgets," when I was a kid/teenager, I carried a book with me everywhere in my bag/purse. If I was open to socializing, I put it down. If I was not, I read it. Perhaps the gadgets are a social clue----surely, when you actually go places conducive to meeting people (social venues, club meetings, etc), people pay attention to each other and are not solely on their phones, I hope! Now, that'd be a mess! But if a girl is waiting at the bus stop with her iPod on, her phone out, and not looking at you, the solution is: Don't hit on her! She probably doesn't want to talk to anyone. (Or else she's too stupid to know that if you plug your ears and look away from people, it gives off that vibe, but I doubt she is!) Heck, sometimes I used to wear earbuds as armor. Sometimes they're tucked into my shirt and not even connected to anything. I don't always feel like talking to people when running my errands, and that's a quick sign to say, "Please leave me be."
Lucky_One Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Society is not going whack. Society is changing. Now, you can change with it, or you can stay the same. If you stay the same, then you reduce your "pool" to people who also want to stay the same. AHardDaysNight gave you some great advice. Did you even acknowledge that, or even READ it?
