Do you ever chat people up on the street?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I keep my big overear headphones on and absolutely avoid making eye contact with anyone on the street. I'm doing something or going somewhere and I want to be left the fuck alone until I'm somewhere I'm happy to be approached. The street ain't it  |

In my thirties I took a vow to never miss an opportunity. Don't be a creep but talking to strangers shouldn't be an issue.
Human beings are attracted to one another - it's why the species is a success. |

Jane and I met on the train...
We both got the same train every morning from Bromley South to London Victoria.
Occasionally we'd be seated close and we'd exchange pleasantries.
One evening there were major delays from Victoria so she asked if I'd like to join her for a coffee...we went on to share a black cab back to Bromley (at enormous cost) and chatted all the way.
35 years later we are glad we met that way and weren't afraid to talk to each other. |

All people can say is no. We all came out of the same hole, we all end up in the same hole, just be happy, friendly and have fun. We all have different types, so a no is all good, just dont get arsey with someone if they say no  |

Not on the street no. In my rare group or social appearances I often get approached, but unless we click quite quickly I'm polite but fairly unresponsive. |

No I don't chat anyone up on the streets as it seems everyone has their ears plugged up with earbuds or headphones.
And the only time I've been chatted up in the streets is by a wily charity worker soliciting donations who literally called at me when I walked past him, saying "excuse me sir you dropped something!". I actually believed him, turned round and asked him what I dropped, and he was like "... your beautiful smile! Can I have five minutes of your time please? *begins to go into promoting spiel*".
 Remind me never to be so naive again.  |

Do you think the train eventually made it to Bromley (albeit severely delayed) or was it eventually cancelled? |

"chatted to a few ladies along the canal walking the dog,, think its because the dogs handsome"
I'd forgotten because it's so long since I had one, but yes I sometimes played wingman to my dog...  |

"I would love to chat to people on the street. When I attempt it, they think I'm a weirdo 
People are not very approachable nowadays, sadly..."
Especially not around London |

Oh god never, I would never chat anyone up in a sexy way. I am pretty fucking friendly at times though with all sorts of different people, I amaze myself and think what on earth But it feels a good thing to do once done. |

"I always say "hello" but get looked at as I have two heads and they hurry up and pass by "
See I would always say hello and I'm often the one initiating. |
