How to approach in public places

[Anonymous]

I ran into grocery store during lunch and saw a very handsome guy. It looked like he was on lunch break as well. We passed each other a couple of times while shopping, and definitely checked each other out. I paid for my stuff and hang out by registers waiting for my coworker to finish her shopping. I saw him leaving out and we made eye contact and I smiled. This has happened before where I am interested and think they may be interested but can't figure out a way how to approach. Any tips?

First, check his hand. Even if there's not a ring, check for a tan line on the ring finger.

“Hey, would you like to get coffee? We can discuss why you carry a banana in your pocket.

Check out his shopping cart, pick out something in there and ask him where he got it. Oh, where did you find the _____, I was looking for that. I'm here with a Co-worker and I don't know the store that well. Don't think I'm an airhead but would you have a minute to show me?

That's your icebreaker. Now you have a little time to let him know your interest. So do you come here for lunch every day? Hmm, now that I know it's a lunch hotspot, I'll have to come more often. Do you just take it back to the office or is there somewhere closeby to eat outside on a nice day. Really? You'll have to show me sometime.

If he's got a nice sized cucumber in his cart just pick it up and smile seductively. He will take it from there.

Look him in the eye, smile, and say something brief but friendly, like "oh the Nats broke my heart" (if he is wearing Nationals gear}, or "this is my first time here, do you know where the eggs are?".

If he reciprocates with a friendly response, then you can take it one step further by extending your hand and introducing yourself, "hi, I'm Mary, I'm also a Nats fan, it's a pleasure to meet you", or "hi, I'm Mary, thanks for helping me find the eggs."

After that, the ball is his court.

Women have more latitude in how they approach than men do because women aren't as scary.

This really made me cringe. Especially the "don't think I'm an airhead" part.

Well, if she asked about hitting on a woman, I would have offered different advice.
