    Hey when I know a girl likes me I have no problem at all talking to her etc. but only after I know for sure she does.

    I'm good looking enough, mad fcuker(in good way people say), not to shy but not loudmouth like.

    What should I do I feel like i'm infringing on them or something if I don't know them.

    Thank you. :)

    As long as you are not being a dick towards them you will be grand.

    And to be honest you should be able to tell if your company isn't wanted.

    If you start off treating any girl you're speaking to as a potential friend rather than a one-night plaything, I can't see you going far wrong.

    Have a bit more confidence in yourself and the reasons people might like to talk to you!
    Not every conversation needs to revolve around someone fancying you.

    Girls are people too ;)

    +1 sound advice. The best advice I think, is to act natural and be yourself, don't approach with chat up lines or anything like that, just say something like 'Hi, what's your name?' That always gets my attention ten times faster than any gimmicky line.

    Whatever you do, dont start a conversation with "where are you from". Nothing annoys me more than when some random guy comes up and this is his opening line. Like that is the most important thing about me

    Also, if you're going to be talking to girls you don't know, don't have too much to drink.

    Nothing attractive about beer breath, glassy eyes and slurred words.

    I hate that too. I think its because most people assume I am not from Ireland even though I am and it normally causes a bit of embarassment then. I think the best thing you can do is 'walk over and say hi my name is whatever, how are is your night going?.'

    Another really good trick is that when you go over, make sure that you make it clear that you are not intending on latching onto the girl for the rest of the night.

    -Talk to a girl on the way back from the bar with drinks in your hands so you can say that you have to get back to your friends, but just wanted to say hello on the way.

    - Or conversely tell her that you are on the way to the bar but wanted to say hi on the way.

    -Or that you are on the way to meet your friends etc, and invite her and her friends to join you if they want.

    Anything that doesn't make it seem like if she talks to you and doesn't like you that you will hang around annoying her all night will make anyone much more likely to talk to you in the first place and then you can work your charms!

    Infringe away (as long as you're polite about it). If they don't want your company, you'll find out fairly quicksmart.

    Personally I like the idea of just saying hello and having a bit of a chat as you are going to the bar, or going back to your friends or something. Like you can just say hello, chat for a bit and drop into the conversation that you are going to the bar, to meet your friends, whatever so that way she knows you won't be hanging around. Chat a bit and sure then just "bump" into her again later in the night :)
