Just Say Hello
Listen up guys, have you tried lately to just say hello?
Today I’m going to share a little “secret” with you.
One that seems to have been lost in our modern world of texting and swiping and profiles.
A secret displaced by all that other techno-marvelous stuff designed to help us meet people and get dates:
There has never been a better time than RIGHT NOW, to put down the phone, walk over to that girl, and say, “Hi, my name is _______, what’s yours?”
Just say Hello.
Wait! That is so 80’s, right?
Yeah, it is:
It’s so 80’s, so 90’s, so 70’s, 60’s, 50’s, 40’s and so very from the beginning of time.
Just Say Hello – Because It Works
Because just saying hello is simply how you met other people before this hurried, no time for pleasantries, app-based world in which we live.
Don’t get me wrong, apps are great.
They can help you connect with someone who has shared interests or desires, and that can be great.
We even promote apps and dating sites extensively here on Get Laid Tonight.
Some of them work really well – like this one:

But there is a lot to be said for the mystery of meeting someone new, and NOT KNOWING anything about them. It can be exciting learning those little things about them as you spend time together and get to know them.
And here’s another big part of the deal and why now is the best time to just say hello:
App fatigue.
People have grown tired of all the fakeness and lies that go along with the apps. People create profiles that paint themselves in the best possible light. Even if they have to be less than truthful. Guys manipulate their profiles in the hope of making them stand out among the hundreds – or even thousands – of others that prospective dates might scroll and swipe their way through.
You want to stand out?
Stand Out Instantly
You want to be different and noticeable?
Put the phone down, walk up to a pretty girl and just say, “Hi!”.
You will instantly and undeniably stand out from all the guys with their “dynamic profile pictures”. And their tall tales about why someone should pick them out of the multitudes.
Now there are good ways to approach a woman in public, and there are ways that need to be avoided.
I won’t get into too many specifics about that in this post because we cover them in detail elsewhere on Get Laid Tonight, like these tips on how to talk to girls you’ve just met.
One “pro tip” for striking up a conversation with a stranger is to say hello by offering a compliment.
But you need to offer the right kind of compliment because it can serve more than one purpose:
Don’t just say, “you have beautiful eyes” or something like that.
Say , “Wow – that blouse really highlights your beautiful eyes”.
It’s fine to compliment her appearance and physical features, but think about this:
By complimenting her blouse and her eyes, you are essentially complimenting the choices she made.
Since you are commenting on her taste in clothing as well as remaking on her physical appearance, it has twice the effect.
There are a lot of great compliment words and phrases that will make for a fresh approach.
Tips for Saying Hello To Strangers
The trick is to approach a woman and just say hello in a way that she doesn’t feel threatened by your approach.
You should be casual about it, be nonchalant. Always smile your best smile. And never approach her in such a way that she feels trapped: like if she is sitting at a corner table or an inside seat on a bus or plane or a subway.
And on other pages at GLT, we get into some great ideas on places you may have never thought about where you can meet women who might be looking to meet men.
Look – it’s not hard – and it’s the way it has been done since forever.
Now, put the phone down because the time is right, walk right over to her, and just say hello.
