How do you ladies feel about being approached while out?Page 1 of 1    
Ok so here's the situation. Your our with your friends, do you mind if a guy starts trying to talk to you, or do you feel bothered? Also do you give your number out when guys ask just so your not rude, with no intention of answering his calls?

Basically when I'm out and see a cute girl and she's having fun with her girl friends, I don't want to barge in and start talking to the girl, I feel like I'm interrupting there night, is this accurate or do you not might if a guy tries to strike up a convo with you?

I feel the phone number question is pretty self-explanatory.

I'm sure most women don't mind. I personally find it annoying and a little offensive. Go for it though, you have nothing to lose.

OP, if she's out with true 'friends', keep in mind that if she's single, those friends would be supportive of her getting male attention if you're polite and friendly. If she's married they'd either rave to you about her husband or make the ice pack and go dead silent. As far as her giving her number to a stranger, you'd be better off at least OFFERING your number to her first. Good luck OP:)

I personally don't like it, and I don't give any personal info to such a guy. I know nothing about him, and he knows nothing about me besides my appearance, so I see him as superficial and untrustworthy. Just my take.

This is one of those topics that we (the forum regulars) see over and over and over. The answer is very simple. Let me state this very directly:

If she thinks you're attractive, she will have no problem with you approaching and engaging her in conversation. If she doesn't find you attractive, then you are a creep and a stalker and she very well may use her pepper spray, or call the cops.

The problem is, "How do you know if she finds you attractive?"

Smile at her. Does she smile back?

Walk a little closer to her, do not walk right up to her, just closer. Does she turn to face you, or turn away?

Experience helps a whole lot here, get out to the mall or your local supermarket or park or wherever people go and practice. And if you get arrested, don't call me, I will not go your bail.

So far Mazr45 and OHenryX have you given you the best advice OP. If she finds you attractive then YES you can approach her, if she does not find you attractive then you should leave her alone. The only thing you can do is make yourself noticeable to her. If she makes eye contact with you and/or smiles at you there is a possibility that she is attracted. In that case it is perfectly OK for you to approach.

Well thank you everyone for the input. So basically asses the situation, throw out signs that hint at your possible approach (eg. a smile, strong eye contact, or hand gesture), and base weather or not you actually engage on her body language responses. Seems easy enough in theory, I'll let you know how it goes in practice.

Oh.. I lead a sheltered life. I don't go out with GFs. They're all married, have smaller children than I do, or live in different cities. Altho, my one GF (married) and I (in a relationship) routinely flirt with the guys at the hockey games! It never gets to the exchange of numbers stage tho.

It's difficult isn't it, you're not supposed to barge in and I feel the same about that.

On the other hand, a lot of girls are bad at showing interest - no smiling and making eye contact, so you usually can't tell who is approachable and not :). Sucks being a guy huh :)

And I mean even if they're single looking to meet guys and even if they like a guy, obviously no smiling and eye contact if they don't fancy a guy!

IME- women almost never have a problem with a guy approach them ... in public,,,anywheres...

so long as he isn't disgusting to look at and/or isn't obnoxiously rude when he opens his mouth.

If I haven't approached him first, it depends on who he is (do I find him attractive or interesting enough to chat with if I don't?), where I am and what I am doing (am I at a funeral? Am I sitting with clients at a lunch meeting?), and his approach (is it just interesting conversation? Is he going in for the kill? Is it intrusive?). Sorry but it's true, for me there's really not just one stock answer to this question.

It's harder for guys to put ourselves in a women's shoes because honestly, most guys never get approached unless they are extremely lucky and // or attractive.

I would say this, based upon the idea of a girl approaching me. As long as you are presentable (smell good, dressed well or at least cleanly and don't have bad breath) and are not troll level ugly, I'm sure she wouldn't really mind. Although, if you "aren't her type" she may be a bit cold. That'd be my guess, anyways. Who the hell really knows what girls think. Half the time I doubt they do. Or they act like they don't to confuse us.
