| What is the best way to approach in the supermarket/store?
Posted: 4/21/2008 9:29:49 PM | | I always see cute women in my local supermarket. There rarely is any opening to approach a woman in a store. Does anyone have any tips to getting a date with a woman in the supermarket? Would making a comment about food in her cart be a good opening? | |

Following that up with a comment about her hair or something, clothes, or asking where she's from or something, and offering some information about yourself would be good followups. Many times people chat in the super market, so that's why going a step further is important. It will give her a chance to see you are interested beyond her grocery list. ~Cindi | |

Maybe not every one, but the initial one, kinda smile as you go by. Then skip one, and pass on the third one, then on the fourth one say something cute like "ok, you have to stop following me" or "ok, we HAVE to stop meeting like this." Break the ice with something like that.
Be sure you have something to follow that up with. Probably not about the food unlues it's something like " so is that brand of ______ any good? I always go with ______" Kinda weak, I know. Maybe just say Hi I'm "your name, nice to meet you" And kinda leave it like that. Be on your way. Maybe you can meet up in the line or something. I don't think you want to totally jump in with both feet after the opening. Like I said, I've never tried a supermarket, so I'm just kinda throwing it out there. | |

I mean, it doesn't always work, but people keep trying this with me ALL THE TIME! The only thing is that I get guys trying it with me and it's like 'wtf man, I'm not into dudes' and they just keep on trying! | |

Posted: 4/21/2008 10:31:49 PM | I see Im working with a bunch of geniuses here, okay first thing is first when you pass her you make it only once or else she'll suspect. Make only the one passing and make sure that she doesnt see you looking at the products in her cart, then choose one product and say "excuse me miss Im trying to find ...the product of choice....could you tell me in what aisl is it in?. if she knows she'll tell you flat out and then open her up and go fishing like "oh thanks you know I really need to get my hands on it because".....now here is where the humour comes in make a joke about the product if she laughs and talks then you talk if she clams up then thank her and walk away.
Now if its the girl working there at the counter and not a consumer, just be nice everytime you go in there. Make conversation about the STAR celeberty magazines or somthing, becuase those are always at the front for the consumer to read while there waiting for there check out. Finally when she's become friendly with you ask for a reciet witch she'll give to you regarless after you leave come back after 5 minutes and tell her she made a mistake on the reciet she'll go "what let me have it" she'll double check it when she does make sure that it has your name and number witch you had written while you were out for those 5 minutes. Now it can go two ways one she sez she cant she has a boyfriend or it could go the other way she sez okay and you say okay and leave. This is the method that I had done and it worked for me the girl called my number that same day told me that my approach was like totally smooth. | |

Or you can just smile at her as you pass and say hi. I am sure you will go the opposite direction down the next aisle too. Then you can say.... aww, we meet again. Or, we need to quit meeting like this, or should we? Then she will probably take it from there.
I would think those situations were cute and flirty. | |

Posted: 4/21/2008 11:38:36 PM | I think both of the above responses were Excellent! Although I have to say, and it's not only MY experience, but in our part of the "country" /city....we are so conservative, that this does not work.
I've stood behind the same male in the supermarket at least 3 times and had also sent a "hello" to his e-mail on here and no answer. Which is fine.....obviously not his type. BUt even in the store, he looked disgruntled (good looking too, but no charisma whatsoever. Then saw 2 more (from POF) had also sent "hello". No response and "doing their shopping mechanically". Did not have this type of experience when I lived in Calif. What a "culture shock" and do not understand why they are on here (still)!!!! | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 7:33:37 AM | you can tell a lot from what a person eats.
But the best indicator of the kind of people they are is how they eat their meal.
How, not where. A meeting of the eyes would suffice, in my opinion.
Message above: that is the charm of West Van (ghosts walking.....) ! Nothing like a market in the Italian countryside. | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 6:40:30 PM | These lines don't work:
"Baby, you better get out of that express lane, 'cause you're all that and a bag of chips!"
"What a coincidence! You've got butter in your cart, and I've got a copy of 'Last Tango in Paris' at home!"
"I've got some meat here that's 'Best if used by tonight.'"
"Is it really cold in frozen foods, or are you just happy to see me?" | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 6:52:53 PM | play dumb and ask her about her preferences on a brand of something. Play like you don't know and unless she's completely not interested, I'm sure most women will offer you some advice... then be sure to try to continue the conversation about "what's for dinner" or something.... have a couple of strategies.
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure I'd want someone to comment on the groceries in my cart unless you saw a pattern to it... but some random stupid comment about my food will just be dumb. | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 7:26:34 PM | Well, for starters you could accidently bump into her in the produce isle, apologise at length for banging into her cart, ask her if she is ok, then..............
look her straight in the eyes and say...........'I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts"

Does anyone have any tips to getting a date with a woman in the supermarket?
Play dumb it works for me. Otherwise I don't say anything because the women seem mean. I also tend to like personal space.
Would making a comment about food in her cart be a good opening?
You'd probably seem like a wierdo. I wouldn't but you might do well with it. You won't know until you try. | |

Posted: 4/23/2008 9:40:57 AM | | Why don't you just say hi? Who cares what you say. A woman needs more from a man than the other way around. Men here don't seem to get that. Just say hi; if you exhibit high enough worth she'll chat with you herself. | |

Posted: 4/23/2008 5:50:14 PM | | If you're going to do that, I'd suggest getting a book on jokes about food. Humor goes a long way in meeting women. For example, I would NOT look at the sushi in her food basket and say something like "how can you stand eating that s**t". That probably won't cut it. LOL | |

Posted: 4/23/2008 6:12:13 PM | Practice up your most charming "wink". I just swoon over a man that winks. No matter where I am or what I'm doin'....A wink tells it all.
A wink shows they like you and if she's interested, she'll do anything to start the conversation with you ! | |

Posted: 4/23/2008 6:28:15 PM | | ^^ One time I did that with a guy. He was a little taller than me, shopping with an elderly woman, and I asked if he could reach something for me. Then he says.. "I am not much taller than you" He did get it, but it was a reach. Then I felt sort of bad.. but he was cute. | |

Yeah.................... you're gonna look pretty freakin' stupid if all she has is a box of 'heavy flow' pads, a 5 gallon bucket of ice cream, cat food and a douche.
Go with the 'wink'. Always works on me, and for me.  | |

Posted: 4/23/2008 7:29:02 PM | Something that "worked" for me (although I didn't follow through with it) to get a conversation started happened completely at random.
I was reaching for a plastic container on the top shelf (not hard for my height), and somehow I caused two other containers next to it to fall off the shelf. Enter in female stage right, she made a comment that I can't much remember, and I responded back with a comment of my own with a smile. Only after she was walking away had I realized it might've been a good opportunity to keep a conversation going.
Being clumsy can be a great ice-breaker 
Just don't try it on a shelf with breakable containers  | |
