Never did that
Well like if I'm at Walmart or the grocery store, I love smiling at everyone and not real often but once in awhile someone will look like they want to just chat a little bit and we do. I specially enjoy when I see some older person that I think really looks good for their age and their hair looks beautiful and all, I don't feel bashful to tell them so. And I really do mean it. I think it's important to let those people know they look great and some of those are handicapped and it just doesn't matter to me what they look like in the face. It's just fun to say hi and smile to people.

@LadyGrace I remember when the Covid fear was being built up before those mandates began. I was in Walmart in the clothing area and was trying to stifle an allergy sneeze. But had to give way and I covered it by putting face in my shirt. A lady in the next aisle who couldn’t see me said “God bless you.” And I thanked her. But after the mandates started I didn’t dare even do that. People were so paranoid. Not too long ago I sneezed once again in the store and someone told me God bless you. Now they are wanting to start up with the fear & panic again. They can go jump in the lake.

Where I live, it is pretty common for strangers to make comments to each other. For example, I have a lot of t-shirts with funny messages on them, and people often stop me and say something about them. People might approach someone to make a comment about their dog, or about their car (if in a parking lot, say) or even about their kids.
I have approached lots of people this way, as well as being on the receiving end. I don't think I single out attractive people for this, but I do admit I enjoy it more when I find a woman attractive, and perhaps I am more likely to find a reason to talk to her than with others. But I never do this in an attempt to "start something" with anyone. It's part of the normal course of life here.
When I moved from the Northeast U.S. to the Midwest, this was one of the first things I noticed as being different. Even if people do not stop for conversations, it is not unusual to make eye contact and smile as you pass someone.

@DrWatson That sort of thing was common where I was born and lived my early years. People were so friendly if they found anything that they could comment on. I remember flying to Las Vegas on the 4th of July about 30 years ago and the plane stopped in Kansas City to transfer. I was waiting in the little airport and had brought yarn and was crocheting a baby afghan for a gift. A lady standing in line smiled so sweetly and pointed to it and told me what a pretty shade of green the yarn was. It made me so homesick and nostalgic for where I lived in northwestern Missouri. The lady reminded me of our neighbors there.

Well if I'm seeing them, that means they're in front of me, and I typically walk forwards if I'm walking down the street. I suppose I approach them nearly 100% of the time, and then usually pass them up and walk away.

I read ina pick up artist manual that you should always make eye contact and smile at every woman you see and if she smiles back then introduce yourself. It works amazingly well!

@Bugbittinbrain it’s hard to do but I was able to do it after a few months training.

@SW-User You can always stop somebody and ask a question.
Perfectly reasonable thing to do.
"Sorry to trouble you but do you have the time ?" (In this day and age when everybody has a watch and a phone, even the person who stopped, if they're on the ball will recognise the playfulness in the question)
You could stop them and ask for directions. That broadens your opportunity to question further. ("Great tie by the way...) Little things like that.
Of course you've no idea whether the object of your attention is single or connected so don't profess undying devotion there and then.
But you might catch a name. Some idea what they do.
Never know what might happen

Never. I let them approach me so there is no confusion, ever.
So far I have not been confused.

I only approached someone once.. And it was because they worked somewhere so I was able to build up to it..
Lostpoet · M
Never, but only because I'm still made about what I went through.
Freeranger · M
Never. The eyes take a photograph that will linger for a bit.
Louis54 · 70-79, M
Never. I wait for them to approach me – and they never do.

Not really chasing people on the streets. Feels creepy. I wouldn't appreciate it but maybe men do?

Oh man I would have a racing heart or probably heart palpitations if I ever went up to an attractive guy first. So ...never do. 🙈😟

no attractive people where i live to admire or approach.
RedGrizzly · 26-30, F
I'd say hi and compliment them on something. Can't really approach people without the possibility of them thinking, "Oh shit. What do you want? Are you friendly? Ect..." So I try breaking the barrier by just keeping my distance and opening up a dialogue, and just seeing how they respond.
