I wouldn't awkwardly stare at pretty girls. I would go to mixers and other social events and just introduce myself as a classmate. When a woman is clearly interested in you, they will make it obvious.nickb285 wrote:So, you should just awkwardly stare at pretty girls to see if they do something that can be interpreted as friendly body language?bizzybone1313 wrote:I disagree with these peeps OP. I think you should play it cool and actually wait to see if she even ever looks in your direction. A woman's body language and actions do not lie. If she doesn't even know you exist, you shouldn't hit on her. It will always be awkward after that. I would only hit on her if you think she is even remotely interested in you. I use to be real bad at reading women in undergrad because I was so young. But it gets much easier with observation, experience and practice.
Look, it's pretty damn simple--strike up a conversation, and if the conversation goes well, ask if she wants to get a drink. If she says no, or that she has a boyfriend, no harm done. I've never met a single woman who had a problem with someone asking her out, regardless of whether they were available or interested, with the exception of A) guys who were creepy douchebags about it, and B) beta-male "friends" who finally decided to ask them out after they already had a friendship that made it weird.
Bizzy, you're not wrong because you're a 0L. You're wrong because the things you're saying are dumb.
Last night, I was at a bar and I ran into a girl I had already had "relations" with and she started getting in my personal space. She was being friendly and had her cha chas practically in my face. So, this girl proceeded to go eat at IHop's with her girl friend and me-- because I am not a chump-- did not go along to pay for their food. I waited for an hour in order to make sure that they finished eating and then I texted this girl and asked her if she wanted me to come over to her apartment. You can only guess how last night ended.
Basically, OP can approach this situation in a number of different ways. The best part is you don't have to hit on this girl at a bar or randomly in the frozen food aisle at Wal-Mart. You will constantly be running across this girl, so you do not have to be in a rush to hit on her. But whatever you do: Do not hit on her in front of her friends. A girl's less attractive friends will always cockblock you.
I have done pretty well in recent years with women. But it was through trial and error and trying different approaches. I cannot pick up women at bars for the life of me, but I can pick them up in public spots for whatever reason.
