Randomly chatting up females.
Discussion
When I was in sales the same old saying was said over and over again, "Its the numbers game". For those that are not familiar with this term, or are stupid, it means the more people you approach the more sales you make, although the knockbacks also increase at a higher rate.
With this in mind do or have any of you approached a lady, whether it be in the street, Waitrose, or anywhere else, and chatted her up? (I am not entirely happy about using that word as it's a bit tacky, but you get the idea.)
I don't mean after a few jars on a Sat night but stone cold sober on a train or bus coming back from work.
On another stream of thought, if you went into say London and just randomly went up to 100 women and asked them for a drink/phone number how many would you get?
I only wonder as while I am sitting here in Waitrose opposite a stunning blonde girl who I wanted to talk to but her mum was there and as she left she smiled! (or had wind), I kicked myself for not trying.
She was with her mother.
Thirdly, would you chat up a girl randomly if she was with her mother? (bearing in mind that she will look like said mother one day)
Over to you lot.

Owing to a medical condition I can no longer drink. I frequently 'chat up' women in the street/waitrose (Waitrose is particularly good 
)/ aeroplanes
The problem is, getting a girls number is very easy on the whim, but following that up can be a tiresome exercise. If you met someone on train/aeroplane and manage to get their number, great but essentially you are both travelling so the likely hood of meeting up again is very slim. Another problem that I have encountered all to often is that a lot of women will happily give you their number but then will get cold feet a few days later etc as they are not really sure who you are/why you are interested etc
As for chatting up girls with their mothers. That's a good game to play for the excitement. Charming is the best way to play it, make sure that the mother likes you more than the girl. You obviously want the 'he was a lovely gentleman' remark from the mother to try and seal the deal. Unfortunately, you have then dragged the mother into proceedings and this can cause problems too.

The "are you two sisters?" line is loved by the Mother, hated by the one you are actually trying to chat up...Use it carefully! )/ aeroplanesThe problem is, getting a girls number is very easy on the whim, but following that up can be a tiresome exercise.

ThanksI had an ex GF from a few years ago whom I met in an art gallery. She was working at the reception (and also the resident artist) and came up to me and asked if there was anything that would interest me. I said no just browsing. Then she went outside to clean the windows and left me to browse further.
When she came back in, I was asked if I thought she did a good job cleaning the windows. I replied it was rubbish could be better, both of us had a laugh about it and then stayed in the gallery chatting away for 2 hours.
Came out of the gallery with her phone number and a date arranged. So yes speaking to random girls (in the right place) can work.

My daughters will give their numbers if asked - but they always give the wrong number. They call people who approach them "randoms"
