There seems to be A LOT of attractive men at the grocery. I often wonder if they are single or dating or married. I don't have the balls to approach and probably never will, just not my character.

I just wanted to see have people been successful in approaching women or men at the store. It seems awkward to just walk up to a random hottie thinking you got a chance. Lol

If you make being friendly and neighborly a routine part of your life, chatting and exchanging pleasantries with people is natural, not awkward. That is how it's done.

I've never approached anyone or been approached at a grocery store if we're defining "approach" as starting an interaction that leads to a date.

I was approached once at the grocery store by a guy who appeared near my elbow and asked if I'd like to get a cup of coffee, before I was even aware he was there.

I do not recommend a cold approach that doesn't even allow for pleasantries or to establish any type of connection. I admired that he was bold enough to approach but the actual approach, not so much.

I did in the past and with only negative results. Not sure why.

I'll initiate a conversation if I have something to say, just to be friendly not as a pick up attempt.

No lady has ever thrown herself at me that I'm aware of, and that's ok.

I would not approach men in a grocery store, but I might drop a comment when I see an occasion. I am not shy or easily intimidated. When my comment hit a spot, we might talk a little longer. I met several very nice guys there. With some I am still in contact. Never experienced anyone rude or annoyed.

There are plenty of things to say at the grocery store without a melon line.

Bump his cart on purpose.
Smile.
Make sure you are headed down the same aisle each time so you keep passing each other.
Smile.


Just don't tell him what you're doing. What you're shopping for or if they can help you get something. Those are irritating and show you are needy.

A joke is always good.

"What aisle has the booze?" Lol!

I guess that's why it never worked for me.


I smiled at a lot of guys and some smile back ... but that's it ..I find it hard to believe that there are some that actually start talking to you after just a little friendly/flirty smile.
