Well, today I found out that the Dakar Village probably wasn't a good place...

I still enjoyed going there, though.

I'm not shy, but this is definitely something I have a problem with. I generally just don't know what to say to a complete stranger. Going up to them and talking about, well, nothing just seems beyond orders of magnatude in rudeness. I feel almost as strongly that way as I do that holding eye contact is a serious form of personal violation. I know they're not true, but that's how it feels.

Now, if there's something "valid" to talk about, that's a whole 'nother ball game. Unfortunately, when you're dealing with complete strangers, you don't know enough about them to have an interesting conversation. Whether you see a woman at a coffee shop, bookstore, park trail, etc., other than the fact that you find her physically attractive (I'm assuming you do), you really don't know anymore about her than that and that subject is not one you talk about.

For those of you that would feel uncomfortable wearing a shirt like the one I posted back on page 6 here, you could always make one with something short and simple like "single and looking". That should get people approaching you first at any public place. It's a great icebreaker too. At least another single will likely tell you that and want to start a conversation if they knew you were looking too.

Hmmm... aside from "do you need any help with that?", I really don't think you can just approach anyone who's minding his/her own business.

[peeks over innocent lady's laptop] HEY! wotcha doing? Hey! Hi! My name is Bill! You're real pretty! Hi! Can I kiss you? You smell nice! What you working on? Are you married? You kin marry me if you want! Can I marry you? We can just pretend we're married? Hey! LookitmeLookitmeLookitme!!


Scope out the situation first, don't just run into it, use your common sense to analyse your surroundings first. Try talking about the area and after that try moving on to complementing their clothing.
