I Introduce, The Woman of Your Dreams

For centuries, guys have been using pick-up lines that never work, and barely amused women everywhere have tried to placate us by saying “just introduce yourselves!” As a guy, I may sound cynical in saying that this is not true; as a guy with experience, I would be lying to you if I said it was.

So then where does that leave us? You may be wondering, “if boring truths don’t work and cheesy stories don’t work, how did any guy ever find themselves a legitimately attractive girl?” Well, since I know we men tend to be either boring or cheesy (or occasionally, creepy) when addressing an attractive woman, it may seem like luck and genetics are our only hope. Trust me when I say that this is not the case.

My own experience with attractive women as well as what I’ve discovered while writing this article suggests that under the right conditions, everyday guys can successfully approach and hold the attention of a “hot girl” without being a card-carrying model or using a “secret spy” come-on line. Yeah, I know you’ve used it. So while it may SEEM on the surface like I’m just cheering along with the ladies and saying “Just be yourselves,” I’m actually going to go into a little more detail than they ever do.

Of course, if you want to talk to hot girls, you’ve got to find them first, right? As I’m sure you know, there are beautiful available (yeah, seriously) women everywhere that guys are afraid to approach, but picking yours out is going take some compromise.

Right Under Your Nose

First, let’s discuss location. I’m sure that if you’re interested in approaching a beautiful woman, you’ve probably got one in mind. You see her every day, working across the hall from you or at the next ticket booth. Every day, you practice one more syllable of the sentence “Hello, how are you today?” as you work up the nerve to schedule your lunch break at the same time as hers. Well, guess what? This is actually one of your best chances! I’ve found that women are far more comfortable talking to a stranger they’ve at least seen in passing than one they’ve never met, and the escapes excuse of getting back to work helps conversations last only as long as they are entertaining. Typically it’s best if the woman does not work side by side with you because the close proximity may wear a relationship thin in the beginning, but in general dating a co-worker also has a built-in sense of camaraderie toward a shared work goal. For first introductions, it seems that your school or job is far more effective than people give credit.
