tito1501 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Sometimes, not so often, I notice a feel glances from women in the underground. The problem is , I have no idea how to approach them as we haven't been introduced yet. I am a little shy and I don't know what to say in such a wierd situation, but I know I'm losing good opportunities. Does anyone have any tip or information to pass on ?
Woggle Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Are we talking about the subways or the sewers? 1

Sarabi Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Ah the beloved tube I got stuck in the tunnel near London Bridge on the jubilee line for more than an hour a couple of years ago when all the power went out on the line Well. I was on it once and at one point a (very nice looking) guy looked at me and smiled and I smiled back. That is honestly so rare it took me by surprise. I would say just start with a smile and then attempt to talk to them. Especially if they're not wearing earphones or engrossed in a book then that way they'd be easier to approach. Or start at the platform...before the train comes...
Sarabi Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 It is hot these days...and some of those lines are hot(i.e. Central line). Perhaps...carry a spare pack of tissues or bottle of water to offer any damsels who might faint in distress ...

L1ght Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 If you really are getting genuine glances from women then its pretty simple what you need to do. Smile at them with an open and engaging manner and maybe even raise your hand slightly to signify a wave. If after you do this they are as open and engaging back then its a clear sign to go and say hello. Sounds to me like you are onto a winner! Good luck buddy! Just be confident...you have nothing to lose.
Heart of the Desert Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) I have found that talking to strangers is fairly simple. Just walk up and saying hello, and ask thier name. Usualy when someone is interested in you they will ask for your name as well. you can continue by asking them what they have been up to these days or where they are headed. The key is just acting like you are catching up with a friend you already know. If you can read social cues fairly well you will be able to tell if the are being resceptive towards you or not. Some people might just need to warm up to you a bit so even if you think you are loosing thier attention stick around a second or so longer just to see. Don't stick around too long though if you feel unwelcome, just say "nice to meet you, have a nice day" Another way to go about it is if you make an observation about your surroundings that might serve as good conversation fodder, but don't force it if it doesn't come naturaly. The key is acting like you already know them to some degree. Also, don't have the intention of getting anything from them (like a date). Just be curious in getting to know them. Afterall they could actualy be big ol jerk, and who wants a date with a big ol jerk? Always keep the conversation rolling. Ask alot of questions, give room for them to speak. Listen attentively and respond accordingly. Don't talk too much. Relate things they say to your life. remember to ask questions Just put your self out there and be receptive. You know what it is like to hang out with a friend and talk, right? well it should feel somewhat similar. Otherwise you don't have a connection or they are not in the mood to talk. You might make a fool out of yourself, but you will probably forget the whole thing in a few days any way (unless you got a date out of the whole thing!)
