How can you meet someone at the supermarket

Post Reply New Topic

The question says it all. It is a dumb topic, I know.

Follow the person (not long enough to scare him/her). Grab whatever he or she grabs. Say something dumb. I don't know, since I am terrible at starting conversations. I guess I'd say something like, "I have seen you here before" (even though I am face blind), or geez, I have no idea. I guess I am either too shy or I have chronic Asperger. And here supermarkets are like the only place where women don't feel threatened by men.

just try saying, "hi, how are you.?" or ask what aisle the salad dressing is in and be very thankful for the answer. "wow, you really know this store! i'm rob. what's your name?" be ready to get rejected. it will happen, but not every time.

The simplest way would be to ask them for helpfinding something(even if you dont need help)and try to start a conversation from there. Not easy but Ive seen it done several times and whenever Ive approached someone on this situation people are very friendly.

Theres a member that told a situation where a male asked her where to find the things he needed for a barbeque and then told her that if she hadnt guessed he was having a barbaque at x place and she was invited.

Basically it all depends on how confident you are around strangers.

especially men with diapers in their cart/buggy


pretty much same answer



Ask a question ......disclaimer required occasionally > "I know you don't work were but"
where something is located in the store, is this any good, have you tried that (their selection) is it good.

complain about the lack of selection or quality that day.

Look them in the eye when you can,
LISTEN to their answer
relax
and don't stare at the melons

I don't know, maybe they have an obsession with groceries, or maybe they work there, or both?

Actually, the girls that work at my favorite supermarket have men hitting on them all the time, specially the ones giving you free liquor (this is Panama, maybe that's rare in the US).

the post of someone forgot who made this idea pop up in my head. go up to a girl and say something like today i came to store looking to buy some melons but when i checked to melon department nothing was up to scratch, those melons you got there look quite excelent though. would probably creep her out though.

Tackle them rugby league style - a clothes line tackle will get you the most response.

Throw cat litter at them

Suddenly shake a milk bottle in front of her. She'll ask you what the hell you're doing.

If the pharmacist is cute tell her that you're meaning to start smoking and trying to find a patch system or gum that would help you work your way up to hit the ground running at a pack a day.

When you go to the liquer department and theres a hot lady looking to buy some drinks say to her well what about trying my love juice?
