[quote]I'm EB from Bangalore. What you're saying works good in the west. I've been quite successful with them. But in my experience, India is difficult (not impossible). Given the conservative mentality we have, talking to someone randomly isn't welcomed so well (I'm not including Bombay here). Moreover, you really need to lie as though you're looking for something. I've tried many ways but haven't been very successful. But I fancy Indian women the most.
Please share if you have experienced any approaches in this society. I have felt that one needs to sort of frequent to a place they hang out and be noticed a few times to build that comfortable aura or get to know through someone etc. Sometimes its even dangerous to randomly approach someone. I'm sure a lot fellow gamers feel the same.
Dude,
I know exactly how you feel and totally understand where you are coming from. In one of my earlier posts a few weeks back I actually said that I am living in a ridiculously rural part of India. Which means the girls round here, let alone approaching them, they are not even my type. (I find them to be way too shy for my liking).
Having said that, I still feel that even if there is someone out there that you walk past or do have a certain 'feeling' for, don't let the society norms of an orthodoxical environment bog you down. Whilst I appreciate its very hard, because having lived here now for 4 months or so I've begun to realise that it is nearly impossible to approach. (N.B. I said nearly impossible not outrightly impossible).
However, just the other day my driving to his friends house with me in the back and I actually locked eyes with a girl who smiled and blushed. I actually noticed my face in the mirror which went something like this:

My frustration of not being able to go talk to her or even ask her what her name is and yet the dark side of me was ready to unleash its self.
So all I got to say is, even though I can't do anything at the moment if feel confident enough go for it. (Though you must be prepared to face the consequences if any follow - so be warned!!!).
Best of luck
