| In A Grocery Store ... Should I Run Her Down With My Shopping Cart?
Posted: 2/10/2006 9:13:08 PM | meh ~ Im sorry, though I think of myself as a sociable person, I would probably get a little annoyed if some guy just walked up to me in the supermarket and said hi how are you. I would see STALKER flashing in neon lights on his forehead and I would look around for the nearest exit or security guard. Until they put dim lights and wine bar over in Frozen Goods, the supermarket it is not a pickup joint to me. Cute or not.
HOWEVER if someone approached me to ask where something was or where could he find an item in he sees in my cart I could be fooled into some idle chit chat....
I disagree with a couple of earlier post and am gonna go with Yes, do the 'create an intervention' thing when socialising isnt usually on the agenda for a venue.
Just make sure you dont ram the cart too hard. Though picking up smashed eggs together could be a good talking point | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 9:47:11 PM | | One time I met a guy him almost running me over his cart. :) Actually that just happened last January. It only almost happened cause he was wheeling right around the corner where I was, facing him. Immediate eye contact, a huge smile, I asked him out and there u go the rest is history. We only dated for a month, didn't work out but I'll never forget how we met. It was cute and ordinary. So yeah bump into her just don't hurt her if possible. :) | |

Posted: 3/10/2006 5:16:25 PM | | anyone can hate all they want, but don't knock it until you've tried this: i (along with friends) ordered these MeetingCards and they've worked as far as letting us break the ice with women we'd meet in grocery stores (or just where ever). Google "meetingcards" and check them out (they DO work) if you want. it worked better than just staring at cute women passing me by all the time (or considering cart crashing!) | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 12:51:30 AM | | dont need to have a multi-cart pileup to meet someone in a grocery store, -if im in the right mood, i can really have fun shopping for groceries, and meeting new people. wheeling by and looking in someones cart, "why are you buying that brand of mayo -yecch, they test that stuff on animals -you know" or just asking strangers where something is, -(i really couldnt find the tater tots one time, had three ladies walking around trying to point out what freezer case they thought they were in). offering to run in the back and grab something for another shopper, -really pisses off the manager -i inform him he needs to get off his ass and restock the empty shelf. always ask strangers what brand of ketchup is best, and is it ketchup or catsup? plenty of amusing things you can do to break the ice, and get the other shoppers to play along. shopping can be fun if you know how to shop, and what your shopping for. | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 8:40:47 AM | Bumping carts...hmmm never heard it called THAT before....but who knows, maybe it will work, some chics dig a clutz, and it's an easy laugh. I wouldn't however, advise commenting on her melons...not even in a grocery store.
But, if that doesn't work, maybe you cold pull her ponytail or pass her a note......
My advice..try "hello." It's plain and simple...and usually works! Good luck. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 6:23:20 PM | Last thing I said was that there must be a thousand ways to say "My cart seems particularly drawn to you... Coincidence?"
And that killed the thread?
That was a year ago.
Just checked back in expecting to find, well, at least a couple hundred clever suggestions... But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Guess we've done all the cart-bumping we're gonna do around here. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 7:02:44 PM | yea...the whole "help me pick stuff out for us" is just like all the other pick up lines...look in the cart to see what they are shopping for...usually you can tell if there are kids or just her....not always, but just strike something up...."i saw your melons....they look ripe" that HAS to work  | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 7:03:47 PM | no. running her over will gain you negative points. the correct technique is as follows:
station yourself in the produce aisle, which is always near the front of the store. you should position yourself at least 25 feet from the cantaloupes or honey dew melons, but with a clear view of same. when a curvacious prospect pauses beside the melons, you move nearer, as though shopping. you remark (while distinctly NOT LOOKING AT HER CHEST), "my, those melons look good. do you know how to pick a good one?" see what happens.  | |

Posted: 7/10/2007 12:07:02 AM | | I think if ya really wanna get some attention in the grocery store from alotta women then ya take a cart n load it up with bout 15 or so 40 pound bags of flour and slice each one of em open on the end n try not to spill any...then ya get er down to the end of the dairy isle n aim fer the hottest gal in the joint. Run at full speed till yer bout half way down the isle n let go...then watch the excitement build from there...I think this would be the most exciting way to get some sorta attention in a grocery store. Either that or do the same with about 50 dozen eggs on board. HA HA HA HA | |

Posted: 7/10/2007 9:48:11 AM | No - it will make her mad. It's not junior high where you punch her in the arm or insult her to your friends. You like her....right? Try smiling and making eye contact. I saw a guy yesterday at the grocery store and he went up and down the same aisle as me, and we were both noticing each other and sneaking glances. I followed him down an aisle and he followed me down another. I last saw him picking up some orange juice, and he was obviously shopping for 'one'.
His sin? He didn't stay with it long enough. I would have talked to him if he hung around a little longer or put himself in closer proximity. If you see a woman making little glances your way more than once as she is reading a tomato soup label or something, she's interested in talking to you. Say hello, smile, ask her how a particular brand is. | |
