If she says, " no , I like greek food". Then you ask if she knows how to make a dish or if she's ever ate greek food at such and such place. Finally tell her what a great time you have had simply discussing food at the grocery store with her, laugh a little, and say something like" I know we just met, but I would love it if we could go out sometime, maybe try out one of these dishes. I am not a serial killer, or a escapee from the jail. I am a good guy just wanting to make a few friends. Would it be okay if I gave you my number?" Then either give it to her or don't depending on her answer. Then smile at her and go about your way. If you want you can throw in a comment like " Hope to hear from you soon", with a smile.
What you're describing is called "conversation." My impression is the youngsters have no clue about this simple art...

Yeah well that is an issue I have. I generally only really hit it off conversation wise with a woman 5-25 years older than me.
But physically my attraction is to 5-10 years younger than me.

Yes, conversation seems like a simple art. But I remember in my teens and 20's how very difficult it was..............

Her : "Hmm? Yes?"
Me : "You ever try those noodles before?"
Her : "Yeah."
Me : "How are they? They look good, but I'm really picky about my food."
Her : "They're pretty good; they're sweet with a tiny bit of pepper. They're awesome with some soy sauce."
Me : "Oh... (nods, smiles) thanks."
Her : "No problem."

Then she walked away. That's the furthest past "hi" with a random girl I've gotten in a while.
So then, you're making progress?

I don't know very many women that want to be friends with guys. Unless you are a homosexual guy.
