Meeting girls in college?

[Mizak]

Alright, well I just finished reading how to (or, how not to, as it were) meet girls if you're younger.


My question is this: what about those of us in college or university?


Walking through the halls everyday I see tons of girls with potential. I'm not shy, but I don't want to look like an idiot by just walking up to someone and saying "Hi, I'm so and so... interested in getting together later?".


Yeah I don't know... I guess I'm just looking for different/creative ways of getting to know someone you've never talked to before.


Oh, and girls, what are you most likely to respond favorably to?



Thanks!

I feel the same way but towards guys...(since I'm a girl, lol)...I am in my 2nd year and I'm in a sorority so I meet a lot of the frat guys and their rushees, but I find it hard unless I'm sitting by the person in a class maybe, to just walk up and be like "so whats up" w/o feeling strange. So I'm right there w/ ya, confused as well. :confused:

There's nothing strange about going up to a stranger and saying hi, you just have to have the confidence to pull it off.

If u have elevators in you dorm building, use them not just for getting to the floor you want but for meeting people. I have met a good number of guys just by commenting on some things (weather, practice, etc) in that time period that we are in the elevator.

If not, go to a lounge or walk through halls and if a girl has something/is wearing something you find interesting or you like, tell her. Quick story..... I was walking in from a class and some guys near me were talking about Nintendo 64 (which i have a pasison for). I immedietly chimed in and told them how i love playing it. They in turn told me their room number and I spent a long time there last nite hanging out and playing video games.

99% of the girls I meet and have gone out with are in one of my classes! The easiest one is when you get to class, look around for any hot girls and go and sit near them. During someday when your there early or there is a lull in class, ask her some questions about class, like "hey did you do this reading, man it was so boring." She says something about it to, laugh, make a joke etc. Ask her what's your major? Then you say cool, talk about it some, tell her yours. At that point ask her, her name, then tell her yours and shake her hand (little tip to initiate early contact in the first few minutes). There now you know a little bit about the girl, know each others names and have been introduced. You should feel free to say hi when you see her around, or talk to her outside of class. At first if you have no idea what to say just talk about class, always listen for little things she might say about her life and then ask her about those! Women like to talk about themselves lol, so asking about one little thing can initiate a 20 minute conversation.

If your not sitting next to them in class, do the same exact thing but catch them on the walk out of class, just walk up next to them and ask a question about class just like I outlined above to initiate the convo.

Other things you can do, well I sit around at the library or student Union during breaks. There are tables and couchs all over the place where people sit studying. If I see a girl with something interesting sitting near me I just ask her about it. For example, yesterday I was in the library main room where hundreds of people go, and a girl at the table next to me had a Greek for beginners book. Being an Ancient historian I was interested so I said, hey, are you taking Greek this semester? She said yeah, it's tough! Then I said I always wanted to study that as I'm a history major interested in ancient history. She said she was to! And the convo went on. Didn't ask her out because I didn't want to, but I could have and that's the point! :biggrin:

Lone Raider has it, I think.
Girls respond favorably to attention, but not too much overt attention right from the start. Finding some starting point as he suggested is a good idea, mutual classes, etc are always good. Just be natural, don't force it and don't go up to random girls that are walking across campus and ask if they 'want to get together.' That's a little too much for the initial meeting.

you know, once in a while it would be nice if a guy from class just came up to me and started talking to me. it has happened before, and seriously, girls dig that. it shows that the guy has some balls to just come up and talk to us. it's different in the bars, etc. because the atmosphere in those places is about meeting people and flirting with people. but class is fun too, because not everyone is a dumbass.

wow 99% woo. with classes and school i think its great but the thing i said before is "gossip", i asked this gal out and i think i did it too early-oh well u learn something right, oh ya she said "NO".
for me i don;t really like gossip and the rejection part b/c if she says NO well u still have classes toghter , but with hitting up a gal from the bookstore, library-a random hot gal well if she not interested or says No u ain;t seeing her face anymore. got it. and if it works out the date -great but if not then u have to see her over and over again i wouldn;t like that.
i think u shouldn't go and talk to a gal if u see her reading a book-its kinda of rude and they wanna read not talk just what i think.

Your best start is people in your classes... you have an excuse to talk to them beyond "You're hot, wanna date?"

People in your dorm are another good bet... again, you have stuff in common.

Finally... join some clubs!
It's an awesome way to meet new people with similar interests.
