Hey Guys,

please help.

How to approach a women in a company canteen? She's always there together with her colleagues. What exactly to say to make it feel natural and smooth?

The only time window to approach them/her is probably when they finished the lunch, returning the tray with plates and are leaving the canteen.
A kind of awkward moment.

The obstacles for me are the group and the short time window. The canteen's usually completely full. So I think I have to be super quick and brief.

They are from a different company and building located in the same business area.

Thanks!

Treat it the same as if it were another guy who you wanted to meet because you heard he played golf at the same club as you. Really the premise isn't that different.

What do you know about her ? Do you know any of her colleagues? Does she have a profile on the Company Website?

It's really as simple as introducing yourself

'Hi, I'm Natureman. Don't you work for Brand X down the hall? What do you guys do over there? "

She should respond with her name, and introduce her colleagues. Engage the group.

"I'm Brandy, yes I work for Brand X as a Vagina Model, these are my friends Sasha and Grey. They are my aetheticians and keep me waxed perfectly".

You reply "Well Brandy, I'd love to hear more about your work as a vagina model." She will either invite you to join them right then and there, or say "Well we were just finishing up and going back to work. "

If she is really interested she will stay and talk to you and send her friends on ahead. Then just be your charming self.

Worst case scenario you learn her name and can great her by name when you see her. There is nothing wrong with having a little mystery about who that nice guy at lunch is....after a few days of "Hi Brandy", "Hi Natureman" you can talk about something and yu can work in a number grab...

Natureman-

Short time frames. I guess that's what you meant by short frames, right? This is an excellent question, and I'm totally perplexed no one took any interest in discussing it when I opened a more generic thread about the the very same issue back in September last year as a total noob.

I concluded the lack of interest must be because most of our fellow forum friends must hang around in resort towns to have such a laid back life style. Or they are on US college campuses, which are synonymous environments. Nonetheless, they must be missing out on one of the greatest trends of the early 21st century: More people tend to live in bigger and busier cities.

But back to the topic. I can certainly relate to your situation. I've concluded September last year that approaching is almost ALWAYS a short time frame opportunity. How much time do you think you can have with woman? Do you think you can have 2-3 minutes with her? As no one jumped on my question, I had to answer it myself. (Check it out!) With examples. Which reinforce my experience. Do you think you can have only 30 seconds? In theory, that should work, too. But you need some creative planning. Personally, I haven't tried the 30-seconds version yet as it's not my biggest life concern at the moment.
