First, prioritize connection over perfection.
When you’re considering what to say when approaching a girl you don’t know, the very first thing you need to do is remind yourself that women aren’t expecting perfect performance. They just want to connect!
Keeping that in mind alleviates the pressure of saying the perfect thing, so you can…
- Enjoy the process,
- Learn from your experiences,
- Empathize with her desires, and
- Have grace with yourself as you build a new skill.
Now that you have a great start, let’s take a look at the next step.
Next, look for green lights.
Before approaching a cute girl you don’t know, keep an eye out for green lights! These signals indicate that she may already be interested in you.
Does she…
- have open body language?
- glance frequently in your direction?
- smile at you or have a warm countenance?
- make mutual eye contact with you?
If so, these are all positive signs that she may be open to having a conversation with you.
There are also important social cues to look for that indicate that a woman might not want to be approached. These red lights are just as important to notice as the green ones!
Does she…
- seem distracted or focused on something/someone else?
- appear to be having a great time with just her girlfriends?
- act upset or seem bothered by something?
- look like she’s waiting for her date to arrive?
These red lights are helpful indicators that it’s not a good idea (or the right timing) to approach her.
Now that you know what helpful signals to look for when you meet a girl, it’s time to discover exactly what to say when approaching a girl you don’t know!
What to say when approaching a girl you don’t know
Looking for the simplest formula out there for what to say when approaching a girl you don’t know? Try our effective 10-word approach:
“I noticed you, and I had to come say ‘hi.’”
We love this because it’s simple, clear, and intriguing.
As long as you maintain your natural confidence and warm body language, you invite her into an engaging conversation that has her wondering what you noticed about her. From there, if she’s interested, she’ll help contribute to a great, fun conversation!
No matter what, communicate authentically.
Everyone has different strengths, preferences, and tendencies. Looking at these options, which sounds best for you?
- Some introverted men feel like they’re at their best in conversation when they keep things positive, light, and fun by engaging in playful banter.
- Other men feel most comfortable talking about the shared environment or pointing out something they noticed, like if she’s wearing a t-shirt promoting a band they love.
- Some men find that a simple “Hi, I’m _____” with a warm countenance can also work effectively to start a conversation with a woman.
Many introverted men wonder if they should try to wow a woman right away with some unforgettable line. Happily, authenticity is much more appealing than a rehearsed performance.
In the end, what you say may get forgotten within a few minutes or hours. How you made her feel, on the other hand, she could remember for a lifetime.
That’s why it’s so important to communicate in a way that makes her feel great!
- Make her feel safe by honoring her personal space and making eye contact.
- Offer genuine compliments by admiring things about her looks or her vibe.
- Take an interest in her by asking her questions and responding with enthusiasm and empathy.
One way you can make sure the experience goes positively for her is to set a goal for the conversation that honors her. Rather than focusing on thoughts like, “I hope this girl likes me,” or, “I hope I get a number,” choose to enter a thought pattern that centers around her.
How can you convey curiosity about her? How can you contribute to her overall happiness and wellness?
If you can help a woman feel great while she’s talking to you, she’s naturally going to want to keep chatting and have you around more!
