You guys crack me up... every now and then I miss threads like these or just forget to go back and read it.
It's like having little presents waiting for me on every turn of the page.
PC vs. Respect, that's two totally different zones. I'll never impress a girl by bringing up her weight right of the bat, lol.
What works for me:
A - Being me. (easy to talk to, firm but not aggressive)
B - Finding something about her to talk about. Girls really appreciate when you notice the small things. (Jewelry, Nails, Clothing, Bag, Shoes, Accessories... and even if she's wearing some sort of stockings with designs on them) - Works nearly all of the time just to break the ice and start a dialogue.
C - Shopping in places where girls usually shop. Many conversations had in the checkout lines at Forever 21, H&M and some other random stores where lots of girls shop at. (find a reason to shop there for something small, just to validate why you're there. Don't go buying lingerie and try to talk to another girl, that's a dead kill right there.)
D - Mentioned in the past... hobbies and places like sport or outdoors shops, they are kind of easy to meet people with similar interests. Easy to start chatting...
