Parking lot paranoia - what to do in this situation?

[phobius]

Hi all, newbie here.

At my workplace there are a couple of women who arrive at approximately the same time that I do. I've smiled at and said hi to them before, but shyness has prevented me from saying anything more (probably because i told myself "there's always next time". I would like next time to be the time I strike up a conversation. Any thoughts on breaking out of this cycle of inaction, or things to say?

thanks.:rockon:

Complain about being too tired, needing your coffee, etc. People like to complain, but make sure not to be negative and turn the convo positive quickly.

Hey, whats up (name)?

Problem: you didn't talk to them.

Solution: talk to them.

There is a chance you'll come off extremely creepy. There's also a chance to build some rapport. Don't take this the wrong way, but if you're really focusing on the parking lot as a place to attract women, you must really seriously be lacking in social options.

Make some friends and go out with them after work, and socialize at the bar or at a restaurant and chat up some of the regulars. Build up a social circle. Very few women (or men) see a parking lot as a place to build rapport, though.

Are you serious about approaching women in the parking lot?

parking lot is not a bad idea as long as you appear as the protector, not the predator
