Guys, we get it: approaching women at bars or elsewhere while you’re out and about can be a nerve-racking, terrifying venture. Regardless of how smooth you are or how confidently you approach her, there are times when you’ll get shot down for seemingly no reason, making it that much more difficult to approach the next beautiful woman you see. But wouldn’t it be a little easier if you were armed with some foolproof pick-up lines that will actually result in a conversation, not a cold shoulder? This post from the Cheat Sheet has four expert tips for approaching a woman that you hope to talk to, starting with a simple “Hello.” Yes, it’s easy, nondescript and not wacky enough to seem very memorable, but it’s a great way to get the conversation flowing and allows you to direct the conversation to just the girl you want to talk to, not her entire group of friends. Once you’ve mastered the basics, why not try opening with an opinion-based question? If you’re at a bar or restaurant, ask her what her favorite item on the menu is, or if you’re approaching a woman in a bookstore, ask her what the latest and greatest novel is that you have to read. The best way to get her talking (and keep her talking) is to have her open with something she’s already passionate about, and you’ll get a better glimpse into her personality, too.
