I'm happyily married now. I look at these posts for business reasons and came to this article in a link from an article from a bird that can't fly. The answer to your question has two answers:

1. If you're just in a bar looking to get laid, then yeah, try all those lines and tips like having a wingman.

2. If you're looking for a relationship, then just approach her like you would another guy (assuming you are hetero). If you're at the store buying something, ask her actual opinion. e.g. "Does this pair of jeans make my ass look fat?" Just kidding!!!

2 (continued) After wife 1.0 I got seriously dumped by my next girlfriend. That is another story. I decided I needed a break from relationships, so I stopped trying to find a girlfriend. But I still had questions when I was out shopping, or in the gym, or at a new restaurant. Here's a well-kept secret....half the people on earth are women. If you ask them questions and treat them just like you would a guy instead of with the thought of..."I wonder if I can have sex with her" you'll find that you can just have nice conversations. Some of those conversations lead to more conversations, and then some to dates and then some to something more.

The major bonus is that when you do finally have sex with her, you won't wake up to Coyote Morning, because you were already friends before you got to the peach and eggplant emojis. That process is how I not only met wife v2 but also made a lot of women friends before and since then.

Obviously, if you are just trying to get laid, this process is too slow. Go for the first plan, but be forwarned to sleep with your non-dominant arm under the pillow she's on, just in case you have to chew it off in the morning to escape.
