Approach a girl

I was approached by a guy on the street we were just passing by against each other. he noticed me and stopped me to give a compliment. I felt strange and wierd because it was all of sudden. I never saw that guy before.

It looks creepy actually in general.

Seems I was not a random person we live near to each other (saw him again after few weeks passing by at night without making any eye contact but I felt it was him) so he has seen me quite a few times.

For showing guts to approach and tried to initiate conversation, I will say 10/10 for making efforts.

But I will say should not do it.

If u made an eye contact and she also made it and u both smiled at each other u can say hi.
Take it slowly. Start with waving hi then gradually approach and talk to her.

God knows what "special skills" these fbois possess, just came back from friend's flat, there was a jobless, no hardskills, mba coaching goer flatmate, b*nging a girl he picked up from a shopping mall this evening.

mind you this in Ahmedabad, no clubs/bars/pubs.

Get off your phone, go outside and hope an extrovert adopts you, you’ll slowly get accepted back in social society and get the confidence to talk to a girl.

Or do what most people do, have a couple of drinks and say bye bye(temporarily) to your social anxiety

That sounds creepy

unless you are absolutely gorgeous or have a lot of money or something to show off for (it's reality, let's accept that) it won't work in India.
I believe girls in India look for safety hence they need to know something about you before you approach them, so in my opinion the best way is to meet via mutuals.

This doesn't work in India. Chances are, you'll be taken as a creep.

I rarely approach anyone IRL, don't want to come off as creepy+rejection fears. Dating apps worked out for me but takes time to understand how they really work.

I have been approached IRL sometimes though, and such situations require a decent understanding of body language. It basically starts with eye contact. Someone who's interested and available will frequently look at you and try to make eye contact. That's a sign to try talking to them.

But the problem in such scenarios is there will likely also be some competition from other people around. And it's possible they lose interest once you actually approach.

Winning strategy is to become approachable so you don't have to actually make a lot of effort. Polish yourself, be it appearance, hygiene or conversation skills.

Conversation starters -

Easy (boring) mode: ask them their name, hometown, what they do etc. Compliment them.

Hard (exciting) mode: try to guess the person's attributes and make conversation focused on the present and not the past. Ask them random, funny and unpredictable questions. Humour works well.

Don't show too much interest, and be prepared to actually walk away too (in case it's a bad vibe). Some will prefer the easy mode approach vs the hard one because it's more familiar to them. Upto you to figure which one they like on the fly.

Tl;Dr - direct IRL approach is complicated and requires some prep.

Say: You look much more beautiful now than you do through my binoculars.

She'll be very very flattered

Why not use dating apps if you really want to meet someone? Real life isn’t a RomCom. Don’t be creepy.

It's not what you say, but how you say it.
Nevertheless, since you asked for convo starters, if you want to hook up with a random girl outside, you could just keep it simple and direct, and open her with "Hey! I saw you doing insert whatever it is she was doing when she caught your eye, and I thought you were interesting/cute/had a great vibe/etc., so I came here to call out a 'Hi'".

If you feel this is too direct, you could also use indirect openers, enquiring about cool places to go to or talking about usually some situationally relatable topic.

However, it is not just the opening, but also the rest of the conversation that matters. Ideally, if you are confident, and come across as a man who gets what he wants, chances of you landing her number is quite good. From thereon, it is about how you set up those dates.

If you want to approach hot chicks, I would say there has never been a more suitable time. I go out, and all I see are extremely horny women totally unsatisfied with either their partners or singlehood, waiting for a cool, confident hunk of a man to sweep them off their feet and phook them seredipitously.

Good luck!
