On and off ...but has had lengthy relationships....he mostly dates foreign girls as irish girls usually assume he's a looper when he approaches them 🤣 |

Wouldn’t walk up and ask a stranger. Maybe in a bar I could but it would be more like can I buy you a drink. But many’s a time I’ve met someone I knew and just asked if the fancied a coffee but nothing ever came out of it and personally for me those times it was just about company. |

Unfortunately any approach I've had like this has been more sex offender than dating territory. It's made me very wary of men I don't know trying to strike up a conversation in everyday circumstances |

It’s all in the delivery…don’t get in her space, strike up a casual convo first instead of launching in with asking for a date, project a warm, friendly persona and be gracious if she says no. Don’t be weird about compliments, keep them general instead of comments about her body.
Most women would be fine then, I would have said
Sure fuck it, why not try it. Most of us are sick of the apps! |

Ah back to the 90s when we weren’t tied down by screens! Dove here I used to love when this was the way to pick up people. An art that’s gradually being lost, as an extremely shy woman I would never orchestrate it.
Himself though is far from shy and it’s how we met. He walked straight up to me and started chatting away and here we are still together 24 years later! |

I am one that needs that type of approach, I won't do nothing if you don't ask me, or almost spelled it out, it boils down to this very good saying. If you don't risk a chicken you don't get an egg!

If we're on a night out we sometimes have each other walk up to someone we both have an interest in and stat chatting them up and flirting and see how it goes. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't |

"I would be too shy to ask a stranger out🤣
Unless they hand you knickers...then not so much 🤔😉"
You know me so well.🤣
I'm not shy and have often asked people I just met for a drink or a coffee and I would say it definitely does work. |

Id be fine approaching someone I liked 1 on 1. The problem is that most people go out with a group of friends, and it's way harder approach when someone is deep in craic and conversation already. I would consider it rude to interrupt. |

Mad stuff altogether Ted lol
Back in the days before Internet dating we would go to a pub and then maybe a night club and approach someone we found attractive and chat them up and hopefully get a date lined up or maybe a quickie lol |

I enjoy this , I find it far easier in different countries than Ireland. I've never had a problem making the first move and if there's no interest I have no problem dealing with that either.
I've met some very interesting people this way . |

I always think it’s easier to say hello in the relaxing world of shopping and it’s less of a chat up |

I do quite well on dating apps but I just could not be bothered talking for any longer than a couple of days - if I’m interested I usually ask to grab a coffee pretty soon.
I would approach a girl on a night out, but I could never on a regular old day out. |

I like this. I'm far to shy to approach anyone but I've no problem with anyone trying to strike up a conversation with me. As you said, it's lead to enjoying the company of some very interesting people. |

"How do people find it approaching ladies in work place
I would advise against it
Really has your experience not been good"
Not much experience myself but I have seen before. The risks are way too high... |

It's a fine line between flirting and sexual harrassment in the eyes of HR. I am not speaking from experience, I've never been lucky enough to be sexually harassed at work, even when I worked as a stripper. |
