I know hospitals freak a lot of people out and for good reasons. If this doesn't bother you than hospitals are a great place to approach women if you have the right attitude. Hospitals are filled with a lot of very helpful young women who will go out of their way to answer your questions. Indirect approaches are very easy. The thing you want to do in a hospital is to make sure you don't look like you are there to approach women. You need to look like you are there for a legitimate reason. If you stand in the lobby approaching women it won't take security long to be escorting your ass out the building. A few of this points for hospitals.

1. Dress you best. Look awesome. Yes this is always important but in hospitals you want women to pay attention to you who are used to working with doctors and other professionals. Button up shirt, dress slacks, and dress shoes are a minimum.
2. Indirect approaches abound and are easy opener. You can ask for directions to a department or ask when visiting hours are. From there you can move forward.
3. Nurses are very busy. Watch them to see if they are in a hurry. Approach them in they appear to be on a break. If they are moving slower or walking in a group. Be aware that they may only have a short time frame to talk to you. If she is getting antsy than go for getting a number and preset up a meeting later on.
4. There are other professional women in the building besides nurses. Doctors are tough but social worker and administrative ladies are readily open to approaches.
5. Note that in a lot of hospitals the care givers do not wear wedding rings. This is for sanitary reasons. Be aware you may be approaching a married lady. Be prepared to deal with this.

Next time you are in a hospital be observant. They are a place where a lot of women are and the public moves around freely. Be discreet and don't be creepy.

Got to be honest here, there's hundreds of places in the world to meet people... but some places are just, um, not appropriate.

Are we talking about literally going out just to go to a hospital to hit on women? Hmmm.. careful with this advice lads.

No bro lol. I think Sophisticated Gent was talking aboutif he had a genuine reason to be there like visit a friend or family member who is sick. If he were sick I doubt he would still be doing what he says here. Instead if it were me I would be focused on getting better if admitted or I would be so concerned I wouldn't take time out to look good to meet nurses and doctors.

Estate I agree with you, it would be inappropriate to go to a hospital to meet women. There are too many places in the world to meet girl's. I would avoid hospitals. Too many patients need the doctors and nurses help for me to stop them even for a number close, unless I see them clearly not busy. A approach while she should be giving a patient there injection is what I would consider foolish and insensitive. I doubt Sophisticated Gent meant it to come across this way.

I am in hospitals regularly for work reasons. It is not unusual for women (nurses, administrative workers, house keeping etc) to pay attention to me. Just because they are in a hospital does not change their humanness. As an example of a real story, I was in the hospital for respiratory issues for 3 days. One of the nurses in my areas spent a lot of time with me. We got pretty close but I didn't realize how much so until I was leaving. My family came to pick me up. I looked back as I was walking away and she was across the hall. She was watching me leave and was crying. The point is you are dealing with people who are doing their job and it isn't any different than you and I doing our jobs. Yes they do help us to heal but they are still humans. Putting them on a pedestal isn't fair to them. Is it appropriate to approach a waitress, cashier, Veterinary Technician, and so on? Then why not others such as nurses and doctors.

I knew this would be a controversial issue. I am surprised it took so long to start conversations. We push the societal limits here a lot. Sometimes we need to poke the bear to keep ourselves thinking about what are are doing. Finally If you are not in the hospital for a legit reason then it would be creepy to be approaching.

Well I guess that clarifies it but being under the beginners section. Do realize a lot of the younger or newer members can be very suggestable.

If a college student or someone else where sees "Hostpitals! That's where I should go!". Just warning some caution. There's better places.

I say it due to something I've seen around the financial and business districts. Guys stopping people who are busy or at work. Even coming inside lobby buildings and being on securities radar because they didn't work there and seemed to be stopping women coming and going from work.

I'm not saying there's not a time and a place but well... some social rules still apply. You're going to meet people with all sorts of things on their minds in a hospital. If you had a legit reason to be there and got chatting to drug reps... ok. Of you're a college student who hangs around a hospital stopping distraught family members or women on gurneys... well.. I think you know. Not a grear idea.

Moved this one to "General" following Estate's note about not turning beginners into approach machines swarming their local medical buildings.

Let me tell you something about hospitals.

Hospitals are great places to meet lots of women. Hospitals usually have couple floors, 4,5, some perhaps 10 or more, and on each floor there are working different nurses... Each floor/department could easily have say 5 nurses at any given time, of course depending on the size of that hospital... Hospitals are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week x365 days... There are different shifts, meaning during each shift there are also working different nurses... So multiply that number by 2, sometimes 3... There are number of nurses starting new jobs, coming to the town, and others leaving to different cities...

Nurses have usually decent education, meaning they are not just dumb girls who barely passed HS diploma. Nurses usually make decent money, depending how much experience they have, where they work and how long, what degree they have, but let's say that their salaries are easily around 50-80K per year... Lets just say that there are lots of younger women who are working, making decent money, and who are still single...

Hospitals also have lots of support staff... administration, receptionist, rotating students, food delivery staff, helpers, security, lab geeks, kitchen staff,... you name it... Multiply the above by another number 2... or better 3...

You would of course be a plain dumb schmuck if you put nice clothes on and try to impress girls with your sexy smiles, dominant looks and start peacocking your ass in the hospital, there is no question about it. Let's not fool ourselves, that is not a place to do it...

On the other hand, you can get some hospital job, and once you are working you can easily talk to as many girls as you want, day or night, Sunday or Wednesday, casual day or Holiday.... all without any awkward openers, or any weirdness of approaching strange girls... Should no imagination strike you at all, you can just simply ask where is this or that, where can you find X or Y and so forth, and the conversation is on... there are unlimited number of opportunities to start many conversations... You can also create fairly strong social circle composed of lots of women, and as you know each woman knows bunch of other women... So let's increase the number of women by another factor of 2, perhaps 3, that is if you are conservative enough...

Have you ever heard bunch of women freely talking in front of you about their boyfriends and husband? Dating, sex, families? If not, well, let's just say that it could be a huge learning curve... Is it fair to say that you could increase your knowledge about women by factor 5...? Maybe 10?

Did I mention that you don't have to limit yourself to only one hospital? There are probably 3-4 hospitals within couple of miles of your house, and when you get bored you can simply move couple miles to another city... Or state... Ok, multiply by another 5x...

Eh, and don't forget that there usually are way more women than men, especially among nurses... Some groups are only groups of women, there is not a single male... meaning that you virtually won't have any competition at all...

Well, if nothing else, at least enjoy your job - should you have the desire to have one at first place... :)
