You say hello with neutral energy like you would to any other stranger without breaking your stride. She is there to get shopping done, anything more than a normal greeting is too much and can be perceived as urgency, this is exactly why that word "creepy" is used too much, what it actually means is she assumes you aren't preselected. A guy with options has no need to run elaborate game at a grocery store, he has normal conversations.

A simple, normal greeting gives her a no pressure option to respond or not. If she wants to talk to you, she will break her stride and stop you to give a warm response, then you can have a quick chat but use a time constraint and suggest to exchange contact info to continue the chat; that way she can resume her business quickly and you don't come off as "try hard".

The key is being in the right energy, you want to be effortless. If you go to a public place, actually go there for the purpose it was built for, if you happen to cross paths with someone, more power to you. If you go anywhere that isn't designed for the sole purpose of meeting people and you make pickup your main objective, you premeditate everything and are automatically in the "try hard" energy that makes any given woman think you can't do better than her.

In the frozen isle.... "You shouldn't be in here..... because you might melt all this stuff".

Do you like raisins? What about a date? You and me at McDonalds with candle lights.

I was at the grocery store when my gym crush was there. I went up to her, played dumb and asked "you look familiar, do you work out at LA fitness?" Her reply: "yeah, it's the gym I go to" in a deadpan voice.

So yeah.. probably don't do that.

A simple compliment about clothing, beautiful hair, maybe omg I have to tell you your teeth are so straight! Any woman who had to go through years of wearing braces would really appreciate that one. If they simply say thank you and seem uninterested in continuing the conversation let it be. You might see her again walking through the aisles so a simple smile and something simple like I swear I'm not stalking you (make your own original joke)! If she laughs at your stupid joke maybe try talking some more but you really got to be able to check the vibe and not let this women's ice cream melt in her cart while you try to make small talk.

Been married 25 years to the one that got away. There were a lot of throw-aways in between and it was the 90's so you had to have game.
You have got to sell yourself and put out really positive energy. And get used to being turned down, and do it with a smile! You have no idea what that woman has going on in her life.

I have said to my wife several times if we were to divorce I would definitely try to pick up women at the supermarket. That's why I'm commenting.

Just comment about what she's looknig at and then introduce yourself.

Keep making some small talk then ask for her number.

It's pretty easy.

Grocery store probably isn't the best place to open. There's tons of people walking up and down the isle and her attention is occupied on buying stuff.

The most you can probably do is ask her for her opinion about what you should get. Something like "Hey, I need a quick female opinion on something. I was planning on getting my mom some flowers. I haven't visited her in a while, which do you think I should get? I was thinking this one but I'm not really sure." and then show her 2 pictures of flowers.

Opinion openers are pretty much the only thing you can do. But even then, if she's busy, you're not gonna have time to build up any conversation.

If she's open to talking or she's just browsing around, then you might have a chance.

But for settings like the grocery store, you have to be super subtle, and only compliment her on how she has good judgement or taste.

Flash your magnum condoms

Magnum condoms

Ask about whatever they have in the cart or something they’re checking on the shelves.

Last time I was asking where they found the trash bags.

If they want to talk, they’ll talk.

None. Let women shop for their groceries and do normal things without being harassed.

I’ve been approached at the store and it’s so weird and uncomfortable. Men have even made me take my headphones off to try to talk to me. The grocery store is NOT your fuckboy playground.

Please stop trying to be a pickup artist and let women live their lives in peace. We don’t go to the grocery store to get hit on for fuck’s sake.

Anything is better than nothing, but if you create context, it’s way easier.

For example, I saw a woman looking at chocolates, so I walked over and said, 'Excuse me, I left my glasses at home, how much is this? You know, when the price is written in tiny letters, it’s usually a big number... How much is it? Wow, that much? I knew it, I could feel it..... but also I feel like you work as XYZ ...... " - Either she works there or not, it doesn't matter, the conversation started...

Another time, I saw a lady looking at the coffee section, I grabbed a random coffee and then I told her: "Excuse me, do you know if there’s a stronger coffee than this one? I need something that’ll wake me up instantly, this week I'm very busy and I work late nights... blah blah blah... You don’t look like someone who works nights, though... you look like you are a XYZ" Boom! Assumption done, all I need is her reaction.

All these little things are just the beginning. They take no more than 5–10 seconds. What really matters is what comes next.

I am what you would classify as absurdly socially successful, and I cannot think of a single thing that I could say to a woman at a grocery store that wouldn't be bothering her - that isn't a panicked warning of some sort of emergency anyway. The reason you can't think of something to say is because you have nothing to say. So don't say anything. Leave people alone when they're doing things.

Commenting on the stuff she has bought is usually the best strategy
