    Hello everyone! I had the intention to ask this before but I didn't for several reasons (you know, work, uni), anyway I really wanted to know your thoughts about it.
    What are your strategies to break the ice with someone you don't know and you'll probably not see again unless you talk to him/her? as an example: you are at a supermarket paying your stuff and suddenly this gorgeous guy/girl gets your attention, and he/she is looking at you and after that looks somewhere else, you continue what you were doing and realize he/she is looking at you again. You really want to get his/her number and maybe. go out with him/her someday and bla bla, but you don't know what to say or do, the moment fades and you go home asking yourself why you didn't do something (well, this is exactly what happened to me some days ago).
    What would you have done in a similar situation? how would you have broken the ice?

    You: "I met a genie once who gave me the choice between the best memory in the world or a really huge penis"

    Cute guy: "So which one did you pick?"

    You: "I don't remember"

    There you have it friends.

    You should maybe check out the "talking to strangers" part of this thread. Haha, I post links to this thread all the time but it's just epic!
