Talking to girls you dont know

I was talking to a friend about talking to girls we don't know, such as on the street or anywhere. My argument is that I wouldn't talk to girl out of nowhere because it kind of reveals to them you're making a move. I expect girls to immediately catch on and reject any more advances. It would be pretty embarrassing. My friend says that if a girl is attractive, just talk to her. He don't care if it's just some girl on the street. Which side is correct?

As a girl, i find that really creepy...
I don't really want to talk to a guy if he only likes me cause of my outer appearance.
Every girl is different though, some of my friends think it's sweet that a guy would even have the balls to ask a random girl out.
it's pretty much a hit or miss, you either get the girl who officially think you're creepy, or the girl who appreciates your effort

@khazix: my social confidence went up to epic levels junior year of HS and the first half of senior year. Then I started losing it for some reason. Actually, it's not that I'm not confident, it's just that I don't know what to say a lot of the time anymore. I think it's definitely up to a cutie sitting next to me.

@khazix: Depends on the person really. Some still have the same amount of confidence as when they first try something out. In my opinion, I just feel that the more you do something, the more you're like, "either way if I get turned down, at least I had the courage and confidence to do something that I would never have done." lolol then again, I'm not one to speak since I'd be scared to do a lot of things

[quote=bluemistar]Really, I've seen some guys randomly talk to girls on the street if they find them attractive, even the opposite, too. Either way, the results are either going to be of them walking away because they find you creepy, or of them suddenly becoming one of your good friends (maybe even something more, or less) all because of that random hit up. You won't know unless you try it out for yourself, you may have shamed yourself after attempting but at least you tried.[/quote]

So the more u try the more confidence you'll have which leads to making it easier, right?

[quote=fradddd]That's how I feel in college right now. Luckily girls are approaching me a little but I'm sucking at conversations while walking.
It's all down to who I end up sitting by in class...hopefully the cuties.[/quote]

That's how I was my first year. Im going in my 2nd yr with complete confidence. Im just gonna yolo (I'll obviously be respectful at all times) and not be nervous and just chill. Practice makes perfect and like they say you won't make any shots you don't take xD. But yeah I'm done with that 'waiting around' bs and hoping for some hottie to sit by me and say something. Just gonna go each day with that 'just do it' mentality, but I'll also keep in mind that school comes first. GL to u my friend.

I say just go for it. But I can't put myself in your shoes because I wouldn't be able to have a strong attraction for complete strangers.

usually nothing meaningful comes out of it but you never know. i say this cause i was with my cousin at the library one time and she spotted this guy that she thought was hot. she whispered loudly to me right in front of him how she felt about him and after he took a piss, he asked for her number. they talked awkwardly and he never even called after that

Your friend reminds me of a time I made one of my friends ask out a random girl on the street because he lost a bet. He was stiff/awkward and kinda ugly so he got rejected. Honestly, unless i lose a bet/not sober, i wouldn't go up to a girl who i find cute. I usually make my friends through mutual friends. Oh and honestly, if you're attractive to her, she'll smile and won't usually be creeped out (depending on a plethora of factors). And like others have said, you're not gonna see her anyway so w.e

You have to let go of any pride and the fear of reject and just go for it. Worse case scenario, she turns you down.

If things go sour, you probably won't ever see her again. Plus who cares what a girl thinks anyway? Lmao women are the oldest meme

Just do it.

If you only talk to a girl on a street because you want some fun time with her, it probably won't work out majority of the time. If, on the other hand you're just casually talking, maybe trying to make a friend, directly talking to her is your best bet. If all goes well, you can arrange plans to talk more, and get to know each other more. You won't meet new people without basic interactions, which can be awkward and uncomfortable for some people at first, but it just depends on the person.

I like guys.
If you find an attractive girl on the street, you might as well try starting a conversation bc it can only end in one of two ways.

If you are attractive:
1. She finds interests in you also. Can result in friendship, relationship, and even marriage and babies.
2. She kindly refuses you but still feels good about herself bc a random guy found her attractive. She also has respect that you have that confidence.

If you are ugly:
1. She could possibly still find interest in you. Can result in friendship, relationship, or even marriage and babies.
2. She is weirded out and continues her life without you.

Even if you get rejected, you're never gon see her ever again so what's the risk?
Live your life. Do it. Yesterday you said today. Do one thing a day that scares you.

EDIT: ALSO make sure to do it POLITELY in a very nice manner. DO NOT cat call or demean females in any way.

EDIT 2: Sharing one of my stories. There was this real cute guy at my school, and I didn't know his sexuality. I asked him out to lunch anyways. It was fun but short. We exchanged numbers. He said he would text me to hang out. He never did, but we still had class together every day and remained friends. Meh...
