    Try honesty. It might just work.

    "Hi, I saw you sitting here and wanted an excuse to introduce myself. I'm John, by the way. I decided just to come over and see if you would like a drink. I know it's forward of me I don't even know your name - but if you don't mind me buying you a drink we can get to know each other a little. I'm actually really embarassed doing this, because you must think terribly of me, but I don't any other way to introduce myself".

    • If a guy said this to me, I'd be so taken aback I'd definitely listen up! Most guys seem to crack terrible jokes and think they're the best thing since sliced bread. This is a great way to approach somebody!

    • Some great feedback, thanks! But I can't let you get off that easy. Let me make it even more difficult and say that I don't do the bar thing anymore.

    • What are we talking about, then supermarket? An accidental bump in the aisles and your offer of a drink from there (coffee shop).

    • haha, don't you think this is too long and sounded like a prepared script? (of which sounded like he is lying?). try this:

      hi, i'm john n i find you very attractive. would you want a drink? nothing serious, just a drink and talk.

      i think that sounded more genuine n equally attractive. but of course, use a very soft, respectable tone and don't sounded like seducing. that would be exactly opposite to ur attention.
