Ok I know that this topic sounds like a very horny desperate teen tryin to get laid, but we live in internet age of dating apps and facebook.
And lately I've been trying some of those apps just for fun not looking to get laid or meet someone there, but one thing has been bothering me.
In real life I have no problems walking up to a girl and starting conversation by saying some random shit, because it is easier in real life much more opportunities to start a conversation.
But how do you start a conversation online?
Just saying "Hi" is a really bad conversation starter, adding a compliment such as "Hi Beautiful" makes it creepy lol
I find it hard to sound confident without being creepy or lame when starting a chat onfuckingline.
So how do you do it?
Look at their pictures and comment on them. Not just compliments but ask questions and make observations. If you respond to what they've written then they think "good job reading what I just said, doofus." It's the equivalent of repeating back to someone exactly what they just said. "I like Jameson." "Oh, so you like Jameson I see." Comment on a photo. Trust me. And the more Sherlock-like you can be with your deductions, the more impressive it is.
Enjoy!
...that wasn't a request.
Let them know YOU'RE INTERESTED in them... (HERE, that is EASY... You can comment upon their work...) Otherwise, ASK QUESTIONS... Be INTERESTING AND INTERESTED... Share... CONVERSE...

I have always thought of Lush the same as any social situation in real life. I dont feel in this respect that the approach would be any different just because this is online and not real.
One very positive aspect here is that you buy someone a drink or a bag of crisps and it actually doesnt cost you anything!!
I would add that the forums are a great place to talk to people (especially the word forums), that then makes it a piece of pie to email someone (or get emailed by someone) following something that was said in the forums
It's pretty easy, actually
I usually say hi. Then go on to why I'd messaged them in the first place. Example....I am an "ishy" person. The man above me in this thread is Angryish. So. Obviously we should be friends-ish (that's what I'd tell him) lol. Be yourself. Have fun.
Usually I ask their thoughts on peanut brittle....
"Yo bitch, bring that ass over here."
Works 95% of the time.
Hello. Please have my seat. You look like you need a rest.
