The #1 question I get asked is Trist how do I approach someone or how can I make them approach me? Well first you have to look approachable. I'm guilty of having that scowl look on my face while walking thru the streets of NYC & LA however it's isn't about ME! Who wants to approach another person only to have them reject you? NOBODY! So there has to be some kind of signal to let the other person know they have the green light, so what about a smile? It's the easiest as well as the most discreet action. Another one that works is eye contact however when done in conjunction with the smile, it produces results.
Also ladies, do NOT be afraid to take charge and approach a man. Sometimes you see something that catches your eye, so go for it. I had a guy tell me once, even if he isn't initially attracted to a female the fact that she was confident enough to approach him, makes him want to at least see what she is about. I've never had a problem and maybe that in itself is a problem but oh well! One more tip, its practical and yet simple. If you are in close corners, i.e Subway train, greet them with a salutation. Good Morning (Depending on the time of day) is the best conversation starter on the planet! You can easily slide into; How are you doing?, you can even introduce yourself after their response. This also gives you some time to see if you even want to get to know them further. If so, be sure to exchange numbers. If not then tell them have a nice day before you exit the train.
