How to talk to a lady - GENUINE advice please

[SurreyGuy]

I'm single and a bit shy. I often see some nice looking women in the supermarket. I often smile at them and get a mixture of being ignored, looked at as if I have excrement on my face or (very seldom) a smile back. How do I actually strike up a conversation?

I also often see some nice ladies walking down the road when I'm driving. I think that if I just stopped and got out of the car, they'd feel threatened (and I can understand that), so how do say "hi" safely?

T.I.A.

Hi SurreyGuy, some male friends of mine always join a yoga or an aerobics class when they are on the look out for single women, they tell me they meet some really nice single ladies this way.

[Hellion]

Oh and I joined a car maintenance class once to meet single men.........and everyone on the course was female!!

[SurreyGuy]

The latter would ahppen to me if I joine d a needlework class or summat - they'd all be male! :o)

What about taking a language night course? I had a friend who did spanish and the whole group would go out for dinner every now and then.
It depends on what your interests are, if your any good at drawing, do an art course or you could use this oppourtunity to brush up on your maths or english and better your qualifications, would boost your confidence too!

..cont...

Get a part-time prospectus from your local college, I got one last week and they literally do all sorts of courses on an evening!
Go on their website and order one online.

Wonderwoman, I am being serious, You have beautiful eyes,and lovely hair,I could write poetry about your beauty,if only I could find the words, but trust me you are truly pretty,you can see that Latin look in you, you must also cook a mean pasta as well,what more could a man desire?
