How to Approach a Girl in Public

For a guy, one of the hardest parts of dating is actually approaching a girl for the first time. Some guys discuss with each other how to break the ice with the girl of their dreams; others will utilize female friendships to get some inside information on the workings of the female mind. Read the steps below to make approaching a girl in public a little easier.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Locate an eligible girl in the room. If she is with a large group, do not attempt to approach her yet. Groups of girls will analyze and find any flaws possible to gossip about with one another.

2. Make eye contact with a girl you would like to approach. Limit eye contact to intervals of 10 seconds. Lower eyes and gently smile at the same time. This will attract the girl's attention and open up the possibility of a conversation.

3. Wait for the girl to be by herself. Approach her with confidence and smile when she looks around. Break the ice with a simple, "Hi, how are you tonight?"

4. Watch for clues that she is interested. She may smile each time eye contact is made, laugh at jokes that aren't that funny or ask questions about the current discussion. Another sign she is interested is if she wants to introduce her friends to her new acquaintance.

5. Ask for her contact information before ending the conversation.

Tips & Warnings

• Go out with one or two reliable friends. These friends should be able to raise alerts if bad breath is an issue or if there are any foreign items sticking to ones teeth that might make a bad first impression.
• If things go well with one girl, do not try to attract the attentions of any of her friends. Flirting with her friends will not give a favorable impression.
