I wasn't a big lady's man when I was younger but now I've got a bit of a silver fox thing going. I'm not sure how to actually talk to women in stores, at crosswalks, etc.
NP. Woman here. You should find an innocent topic to remark on or pose a question. The remark or question should be from the immediate surroundings:
"Oh, it's nice they carry these chocolate oranges this year, too!"
Then: "Do you shop here often? My daughter wanted me to get Christmas stockings."
And so on, picking up on her replies.
After a three-minute conversation, after she could see that you are not a creep, you can say: "I have enjoyed talking to you. I'd love to see you again, if you don't mind." Then she either gives uou her phone number or you give her yours.
