I don't know why but i feel like it's creepy to just walk around and say hi to girls, but its the only thing i have the balls to try. With that being said would it be wierd to walk around,stare at cute girls walking by and if they give me eye contact i say hi? and afteqr i say hi do i look away or keep starin till they walk past me?...

"Hi." is pointless.

"Hi, I'm Johnny." Now that's a good start.

"Hi, I'm Johnny, who are you?" Even better.

You can't just stare at them. you obviously have to initiate something. smile at her, wink at her, do whatever. but you shouldn't only stare.

I've done this to many girls and it has worked wonders.

Eye contact is one thing, but a smile is a thousand things. At least you're talking to girls. I used to just walk up to them and start dancing "the cabbage patch" in front of them. If you ever want to know what red pepper spray feels like in every hole in your face, try that move.

You're in bar. You're feeling anxiety, straight-up slam a Long Island Ice tea and utizlize that rush of booze to flush your inhabitions. Just Don't get sloppy.

baby steps calibrated to your skill level.

If just saying "Hi" to 10 girls a day is a challenge then you need to do it. Its all about gradual desensitization.

If your trying to skip the baby steps because you are questioning their effectiveness then you are going to be a slow learner

saying hi is only creepy because your making it creepy. its you or your mind set. but we can all agree on is that staring is creepy

Even if some ladies consider it creepy, they are just strangers. You got nothing to lose ;p. I said hi to every lady in a mall (the newbie mission) last tuesday and it ended up making me feel great! Later I found out I was making more eye contact with one of my friend's single friend I spoke with and I felt less anxious to use an open. Although I haven't had any successes yet cause Im still very new to pickup.

saying "hi" is totally ok but staring depends on the situation. I mean, you'll know if a girl like it when you stare, if not don't. You might get a slap on your face. You just meet them randomly, so it doesn't harm you in any way. If it helps build your confidence then go ahead.

In my opinion, just saying "Hi" to any girl walking on the street or in the mall makes me feel embarrassed, shamed and uncomfortably for me and probably for her, too.
I see this as bad manners to try to force myself in a conversation with a stranger. Just to say "Hi" and then nothing after this..... ? Is total stupid
Even after I say "Hi ! Can you tell me where can I find this bla, bla, blaa..." or "Can you give me some directions to the place X" is still a dead end conversation.
I think that the surrounding environment, the context in general can play a major role in a good opening. Like beeing in a shop and pretend to ask her an opinion on something, waiting in a bus station and pretend to be annoyed by the bus delay or you spill coffee on her table and then try to apologize her ( ). These are for me "favorable contexts" witch give me the opportunity and the balls to open girls or persons.
I need a reason for opening. !!!
Not like a man who fell from Mars and just say booommm : "Hi"/ Hello bitch ! I want to talk to YOU. I want your phone number. Later I will F-you. Bye bye ! "

Detox75 hit it right on the head.

It's all about where your comfort level there. There is not "tried and true - works every time - instapill" that will get you every girl you want. Fact is, you need to build your confidence because women are EXPERTS at sensing insecure and people who lack confidence.

Instead of worrying about the outcome of what will happen next, what will she say --- or even if she'll go home with you --- throw it all out the window. Be happy and reward yourself that you gathered the courage to talk to a girl. The end result and everything else is immaterial and doesn't matter.

And you'll find that once you move past that, your confidence will go through the roof, and the rest will come. You stop worrying about what to say, where the conversation goes, etc. The rest will come, man.
