So ladies, what do you find acceptable when a man approaches you in a public space?
I mean in a random public space. Not like a bar or club or something,
I've heard that women don't like if you approach a woman and just tell her she's pretty and want to get to know her. But I've also heard at other times that this *is* acceptable? And what if it's like at the grocery store? Instead of saying she's pretty, you're supposed to comment about how much you love that brand of chicken nuggets?
What exactly is acceptable? I know "As long as you're being respectful". But I can be respectful as I can be when I call a girl pretty and say I want to get to know her more, it'll still sound shallow because I only approached her because she's pretty? That's a non-starter.
Or I can respectfully comment about how awesome the brand of peas is, but it'll still sound awkward?
Or even other than that, if a woman is out and about in public life, I'd assume she's just trying to get her shopping/errand/etc. done and be out of there and go home, not be solicited by some random guy?
Idk, I guess there could be a million other examples than just at the grocery store, too. I just don't know. How is it done?
