Posted: 1/8/2007 4:07:45 PM | Lol, completely irrelevant to the forum at this point, but my proverb is not dumb XP
If you honestly think living in a cave is preferable to actually facing the judgement of humanity, than you have nothing left except to gaze upon yourself in horror and murder yourself.
Im not saying one person has a right to judge another, yet collectively...
Well here's a Romanian proverb
If 5 people tell you you're drunk, go to sleep.
I know I should take my own advice, but lets face it, I'm bitter and lonely XD | |

The OP said she was out in an old coat, sweats, and no makeup and seemed to find it difficult to believe that a guy would find her attractive enough for him to say "hi". Uhhhh, obviously the human race procreated long before the advent of fancy clothes and makeup. As another poster said, you women are often the most desirable when you're not all made up.
Makeup and fancy dress can be nice and has its place, but I'd rather talk to the real you.
Please step away from the glamor magazine rack!  | |

Posted: 1/8/2007 8:45:08 PM | | I don't understand why you wouldn't like to meet someone or have a concern with meeting someone in the grocery store. Wouldn't you rather meet a guy who is getting some milk, eggs, bread, ect. than a guy who is three sheets to the wind and trying to get into your pants at a bar? I think the grocery store is just as good as a gym to find someone who may be a decent person and who will remember your name the next day! I say start up a conversation with him next time. Good luck. | |

2) That proverb is not dumb. It is refering to how we (people) relate to eachother. We are social animlas and gain aceptance (sp?) through others.
OP. Try just talking to him. Ask him if he knows how bad cheetos are for you. Even if he dosnt have them. Say you were wondering if they really are as bad as you have heard because you really wanted to get some....(dont mention "fat" say un-healthy "fat" is dangerous ground, we all know that)

Posted: 1/11/2007 11:14:29 AM | | Depends where you find the man in that store. Is he in the veggie section? He probably wants fashion advice. In the meat department, he's probably all man. If he's in the fruit section feeling up a pair of ripe melons... well you know. | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 11:22:59 AM | I've done this before.
You want to know what we men expect as a reply?
I expect her to say *hello*.
-I've said hello in a grocery store and she replied with a hello. The next isle we pass going opposite directions and this time with a large smile she said "Hello again" but kept walking. THAT was my que! Naturally on the next isle I ram my shopping cart into hers (more like a little tap) and said "We keep bumping into each other. If I knew where you'd be tomorrow night I'd like to bump into you again". I got her phone number and we had a nice date. | |

Posted: 1/21/2007 12:53:47 AM | I say hello to women all the time in Grocery stores, if we are on a collision course and in the process of physical avoidance I have to enter her personal space.
I greet as a sign of respect, and to receive the acknowledgement that us being in each other's personal space is a harmless and temporary thing.
NOW..... if I were to actually make a MOVE in a grocery store (which I have done once in my life), I'll say something zany and off the wall to get her to look twice at me. For example:
Me: "Pardon me, do you know which isle the frozen racoon is in?"
Her: "The WHAT???"
Me: "You know, Frozen Racoon.... that new Swanson Hungryman Dinner...."
Her: (usually an incredulous look, followed by laughter if she has even the slightest interest)
Me: "So, what's your name? Mine's Tom"
Simply look for the openings in conversation she leaves you, and take them. If she's not interested, you'll know it REALLY quick.
Then again, I'm probably not normal.... not sure what most guys say if they see someone they'd like to get to know in a grocery store, but this is what worked for me. If a guy comes up to you and does something like that, he's interested. | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 3:43:47 PM | | I always try to pick someone up at the grocery store, every time I go. So far no luck but it's fun anyway. The produce section is the best. You can hold up a cucumber and ask her if it looks about the right size, then squeeze it and ask how can you tell if it's fresh? It's harder to do with cabbage. In the beauty section where they have tampons you can ask a woman if she wants to go out....next week sometime. They get a kick out of that. Trust me, one of you will get a kick. Then when I go to check out I lay a single banana between two oranges on the conveyor belt. If the cashier won't look me in the eye as she picks them up I know she wants me. It's all about making blatant sexual advances then hoping instinct takes over. | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 4:30:00 PM | Hi OP, You look great and I'd talk to you even if you didn't have makeup on. Chicks worry too much about how they look rather than how friendly/approachable they are.
Did you ever think that the guy is saying to himself "Christ... I jast ran in here, unshaven, hair all mucked up, and there's a great chick standing next to the Captain Crunch."
Before I begin, PLEASE.... GUYS and GIRLS, always carry a pen and card with you. BLANK business cards are great for this.
When he says Hi, you say Hi then, DON'T FREEZE. It's still your turn! Say "Look, I'm in a rush, but do you have email?", if he says NO, then say "Then give me your phone number and I'll call you." (don't ask for it, TELL him to GIVE it to you.) Smile, wink, do whatever you want now. In almost every case, you should wait two or three days(better) before you call, but in this rare case, call him the same night. Talk about how crappy the tomatoes are in that store or whatever.
Get the ball rolling darlin'. | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 4:35:36 PM | So tell me when you say hello to a woman in a grocery store what are expecting back?
I expect some action by the frozen food section. Or maybe a smartass comment about my sausage in the cart.
Or perhaps, a simple "Hello" would work . . . just like you said. Or you could run me over with your shopping cart and scream, "Look!! I don't have any coupons. Leave me the hell alone!" I could respect that . . . | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 6:57:53 PM | Since the grocery store is about the only place I ever go (work from a home office) I would love to know how to start talking to gals I see. I even had one wink at me at WallMart - I told myself “she may have just had something in her eye”.
I assume they are happy at home and ever say a word to them.
Besides - I just don’t want to be just another guy trying to get her attention. I am sure they get sick of it. | |
