    Anyway Furgs, nothing ventured, he who dares, you only regret the things you didn't do etc.

    As god is my witness that has been my favourite since I was a kid!

    Hey i'm back :p i got really optomistic when i read your above replies, then i read vmf4's reply and the optomism went out the window lol. I do know this womans name and where she works, so i could probably find her but what if i'm just reading too much into it?
    You might be, but who's to say? Don't let my virtue put you off ;)

    You acted like a gentleman when you first met, she came and found you to chat to, so I say go for it: if you can track her down without too convoluted a pathway then do it, and ask her out for a drink and take it from there. If she likes you and is free, she'll be delighted.

    lmao ask for her number even if she said she had a boyfriend or husband! That's not my style mate. I'm not the type who goes around accosting random women for a conversation. Wouldn't they find it weird? How do you mark your approach for conversation with an attractive randomer?

    No, what I meant was if you went for the number and she said she had a boyfriend or husband, then at least you would know she wasn't single, but she will likely respect you and feel honoured that you showed your interest in her. Women want to feel attractive, so having a random, attractive guy come up to her and tell her she looks nice and you wanted to meet her is going to make her feel pretty damn special. Sure, there's sleazy guys who will cat call or spout nonsense at them, but when a guy approaches them whose is different from the rest, it will be so refreshing for her.

    There are women out there who may be in a relationship, but it may be rocky and she's not happy in it, maybe looking for a new, exciting guy in her life and you show up complimenting her and showing your great personality, you ask her out and she takes your number and it goes from there.

    It's really simple to start conversation with random women you're interested in. Seriously, there's lots of women out there who are free and single, but unfortunately they have to resort to various means to find a guy, so that is why us guys have to start taking action otherwise there will be so many great women who won't be snapped up or end up with a**holes, because the cool guys like me and you :cool: didn't get there first :D

    Many years ago there was never social networking and technology as a means to meet either gender, therefore the guys had to be the leader and go for what they want. Forget that a few feminists who say it's "weird" there's nothing weird about a man wanting to meet a woman. What IS weird, is thinking it's weird.
