How would you introduce yourself to a guy or girl you have seen once or twice, never met before and doesn't even know you exist?

You have his/her work 'phone number..that's all

If you've got their mobile number ask them if they'd like to go and have a coffee or an afternoon drink at a bar.

They prolly do know you exist if you remind em who you are ;)

I would try the direct approach ... just say you find them interesting / attractive / lovely / whatever ... and would really like to get to know them better.

Most people would be flattered I think ... expecially if you come across genuine and honest.

Seems a bit full-on and likely to scare them. I'd go with RPG's approach myself.

I'd shylly walk up to them and nervously say "Hiya", and then just take it from there...

I'm a bit rubbish at this boy meets girl lark, quite sad really given my age.

So you guys wouldn'nt be freaked out if someone called u at work and chatted you up?

I've no idea. It would depend on who it was, what mood I was in and how they presented themselves. Could be a nice chat or could be an "eerm, sorry gotta go! 'click'"

Id be pretty freaked out if some random person called me at work and chatted me up :P

Its a-kin to stalking :P

I think you'd need to at least have them know who you are before you ask them to go for a drink or whatever. i'm intrigued as to how you have seen them a couple of times and have their work phone number, even though they have no idea who your are. unless of course they are a receptionist/secretary or similar.... damn i think i just foiled my own point.

i suggest first introducing yourself to them at an opportune moment. these are easy to come by with a little situation manipulation. e.g. if they are a receptionist or whatever, make a reason to go to wherever they are from time to time, and just drop a "i'm Lianndi by the way". then they know who you are, so saying to them "would you like to go for coffee some time" doesn't make you seem like a super creepy stalker.

also, don't say "would you like to go for coffe sometime", because then you'll sound like you should be on an american sitcom, and it will be embarassing. "afternoon drink" sounds much more sincere.

if i fancied them - it's all good

Slap em on the arse and wink ;)

I think you should say, I've noticed you around, would you go to bed with me? ;) joke

Just plan what you want to say first before you phone, dont be shy and nervous, come across positive like someone you would want to meet. Then say I saw you on ____ date at _____ place and thought you seemed friendly, I just wondered if you are available to go for a drink sometime.

If he says no it's not like you have to see him again.

If he says yes you never know where it will lead, he is single!
Be brave Lianndi you can do it :)

She'll be able to try and chat me up on Saturday at teh Italian meet.

I must warn you though I'm a sucker for a good chat up line ;)

Speaking of chat up lines, some bloke used the best one yet on my mate last night. he said:
'Oh, you're from Aberdeen. I used to be in prison there, maybe we know some people in common. Want to dance?'

Classic.

:lol: :D :thumbsup:

No need for introductions! Just say these simple words "fancy a drink?" After that all shall be well.

A scottish friend of mine was quite keen on using the line 'get yer tats oot'....needless to say he married a corker...typical

You all are HILARIOUS
Thanks for all your words of advice on this HYPOTHETICAL [lol] situation

Rich...you wish :-)

I eventually got his number thru a friend [thanks H] and I called him..and he was lovely..but he has a girlfriend.

I wasnt as difficult as i thought coz he's just a lovely guy :-( and made it quite easy

All I need to do is figure out how to call him and tell him dump his girlfriend coz WE are meant to be together. [just kidding]

When we get married will invite you Forumites lol

Just say i've got something huge in my pants for you. Then reach into your pockets and pull out two tickets to this summers biggest blockbuster!!!!

If she looks disappointed go to plan B:thumbsup:

What is plan b ?
This is simple really if you like someone then ask them if they fancy going for a drink one night,they either say yes or no .
