So I am walking around with my basket, and I see this girl and she is decked out and looking hot, nice dress, nice legs, boots everything. The first time I saw her she was on the her cell phone, but then the second time I had seen her, she had double backed around and wasn't on the cell phone. I know the second time she saw me looking at her, but she didn't smile or anything and kept walking down the main aisle while I was down one of the side ones. What could I have done to initiate conversation with her? I was thinking of walking down the main aisle and just saying hi, but it seemed kinda cheesy to me and if I would have done that, do I keep walking or stop?

Saying hi sounds kinda cheesy to you?

I don't know how else you would have approached her. Hi is boring, but it's to the point.

I would just forget about talking or forming words... just make some sort of weird sound effect.
That'd get her attention fo sho

I mean saying hi and then stopping, or do I just say hi and keep going? I really don't know what else to say unless I was to ask her where something was. Since she was so dressed up, do you think she was hoping someone would hit on her?

Well has anyone ever approached you at the store? What did they tell you?

Just carry on a simple conversation. You don't have to hardcore hit on the chick. Tell her she looks nice or something like that. Just be real and stop being afraid of rejection.

Just go for it. Chances are you will never see her again. Life is too short too let fear of rejection or procrastination get in the way. Worst thing that could happen is she turns you down. End of story.

GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT.

Usually a guy will ask if you know where something is, but not anything like, "Do you know where the hemorrhoid cream is?"

You could say, "Excuse me; do you know where I could find orange juice (or whatever you think of.)"

It would be better if she had to SHOW you where it is. Then you can ask if she shops there often etc. It's cheesy, but what else are you going to talk about? It's Wal-Mart.

Oh lordy. Yes.

Most recently, I had someone chat with me about yogurt.

It has happened in the past as well. It's just natural conversation.
