Hey folks, I'm looking for your wise and awesome advice.
Here's the deal:
When I was young (grades 1 - 6) I was sent to a strict Jewish school. For those of you who aren't familiar with this stuff, Jewish schools usually separate boys and girls pretty much from day one. This has, well, left me with strange antisocialness. Up until about a month ago, I didn't really speak to people, and had maybe three or four friends. I didn't really do anything after school and whatnot, and life was very boring. About a month ago, I decided I didn't want this boring life, and started to talk to people. My social skills ain't great, but I've made whole lot of new friends, and the random person knows my name. What I can't work out yet though, is speaking to them ladies. I don't really know where to start. Most people just walk up to them with a slightly aggressive approach, that works for them, but it doesn't work for me. I tried going for something gentler, but that leaves me with a dry and boring conversation (The usual "Hello", "Hi", "Its a nice day today" thing).
As you can you see, I'm not very good with this stuff. So ask you wise and thoughtful ones, how do I start a conversation with them ladies without looking like a moron, or being very boring?
*Note: This has nothing to do with any sexual or whatever stuff, I'm not looking for a GF (That's the next stage.), I just want people to know I exist.
