Saw a lovely girl at the dog park and I thought about approaching and saying something but thought “nah she’s at the dog park, probably wants to relax, not be bothered” was I correct lol and are there any places that are off limits for a good ole try?
The concept of going up to someone and hitting on them is sort of weird to me. Like there are tons of women I find attractive, but how many would I mesh with?
But yeah, if I had talked to someone a few times, or at least one longer convo, I could see feeling it out on going further.
What lines do guys spit at you?
Edit: heh, not me shooting my shot but I was like "dsm5lovechild? That version has only been out like a decade, who's hitting on her!?"
It always starts with “What kind of dog is that?” (I have a very large and unique looking dog) I can tell the difference between when someone is genuinely interested in my dog’s breed and when they’re trying to be too friendly.
I’m 25, but good one on the edition joke!
Why do you have to shoot your shot? Why can’t you have a regular ass convo like a normal human being?
Lmao y’all are so weird, if I go and have a regular ass convo like a normal human being with someone I’m attracted to…. That’s what I mean by shooting my shot
No. When you shoot your shot you have a clear end goal.
…. To have a normal ass conversation with someone I find attractive is my clear end goal lol.
You should just try to have fun. If you want to talk to her and have a reason to say something, do it. If you are just talking because she is attractive...she gets that all the time. If you are having fun, sure. Otherwise, you are just gonna stress out a rando because you don't know that attractive women should really just be treated like everybody else.
How much easier of an intro could you have? “What kind of dog?”, “Which dog is yours?”
That was my thought as well but it doesn’t help that your name is skeevy Stevie lol
It helps that you sHoOt yEr sHoT?
It helps that I shoot my shot?
Requires bit more tact than than last call at Deluxe but I don’t see anything wrong with it. I’ve been out of the game for a while though
It's not appropriate to approach people at the gym/spa/doctors office or other places where you'd expect some degree of privacy. A public park is fine.
Yeah I thought the same but refrained. Definitely takes some tactfulness and conversation
How are you including doctors office with a public gym lol what? What privacy do you expect in a crowded gym?
I expect people not to make a point to watch me and other women deciding who's attractive or fit enough to approach.
Nahh, just go for it. Except maybe not at a funeral.
Shiii I’m still mackin
Hell yeah, grief is nature’s aphrodisiac
I’ve said it before, rva gotta be one of the worst subs lol. People actually thought I was serious
In her eye?
Its pretty random and you'll hear different opinions about when, where and how. I think the whole idea of "shooting your shot" is ignoring all that and hoping whoever you're talking to is amenable. If you do it enough you'll find someone who doesn't get annoyed is the idea.
Personally, this kind of thing is why I gave up on meeting women.
I would say the grocery store is off limits, but the park you could easily spark up a convo really have to judge it for what it is if you can’t tell then prob don’t.
There is never a right time if you’re a creep
? Who said I was a creep lol I didn’t want to bother her which is why I didn’t do it?
Yeah so totally icky of you yikes puke can’t believe you find people attractive
Right? Another comment said “why can’t you approach and talk to her like a normal human.” What do they think I’m gonna do? A fucking mating ritual? Lol

You are correct. I’m at Barker all the time and I’m so sick of men trying to shoot their shot. Now, if we have consistent conversations at the park, that’s a different situation.
