What’s the best way to ask a girl out or start a conversation? I overthink a lot, and I am a bigger guy so I don’t want to intimidate them or make them feel uncomfortable.

Asking someone out is harder than starting conversation. Back up/ give us space and compliment something, a shirt or whatever. Make sure to smile and don’t stare at us.

Should I compliment based off of looks, like “you’re really attractive” or something they chose, like “I like your shirt” or “your hair is done really nice”

Something chosen if you want to start up a conversation. If it’s a date then calling someone pretty is fine. But for a stranger it’s best to give compliments based on things you’ve chosen. I made a bunch of friends by just saying how much I loved someone’s shirt in the college cafeteria.

Alright, thanks! I just overthink and get anxious, especially when they’re really attractive. I just never know what to do/say

Trust me I get it. I see a pretty girl and it feels like my brain melts. It’s best to just treat women like people. We’ve had enough people being creeps toward us. A genuine compliment about something within our control is something we think about way more than “oh you are pretty”.

I get that, even when I’m anxious and overthinking, I still do my best to be respectful

What does that have to do with this conversation?
