A year ago I went with a group of friends to do a little project for psychology.
Essentially, we pretended to collect data for "something" geared only towards women, and in the end we got about 100 or so responses.

So how do you "pick up girls at the mall"? Pretend to be important.

I think it is rather pathetic and stupid, but that is only my own thinking.

I have hung out with guys before and they will ditch me to hit on some girl. The sad thing is that there are some girls who will automatically give guys their numbers. When we go to the mall, they will always go look for her. It definitely doesn't create a good impression from my point of view of the girl as well as my guy friends. Maybe it is just immaturity or desperation when twenty-one year old guys do that. According to them, they will only go after girls "who you can tell will flirt back and is easy going". Since when did easy going mean being completely open to total strangers?

Meeting random new people can be interesting. It's good in a way that you have more people to hang out with or talk to. Or in another way, you might have unknowingly found some strings you could pull on for favors.

If someone actually did try to pick me up at the mall, I'd probably laugh and talk to them for a bit. But I give them my number.

[catheezy]

i would probably let them sense that it's quite awkward, and give them some fake number. hahahah, to one of my old friends whom i do not like ;D

so vindictive.

I hate going to the mall sometimes because guys just sit there like vultures waiting for their prey. I just want to be left alone when I'm trying to shop!!

[azurette]

I didn't know that guys do that.

[QWERTY.]

its never happened to me at the mall

but one time in the street this asian guy with bleached hair runs up to me with his cellphone and was like "ayo gurlllll can i get a picture wit chuuuu" and i was like wtffff and i ran as fast as i could

as long as the person isnt like creepy looking then i dont mind making light conversation

[adiavoy]

I thought picking up girls at the mall was a thing they only did in like cartoons or movies... they actually do they in real life!? hahaha. lame.

[visuelz]

I didn't even know guys do that. Props to them, if they do. Girls, if you're not going to give us a real number, don't give us a fake one.

[Samael]

Girls, if you're not going to give us a real number, don't give us a fake one.

This seems highly likely to happen though.

[des monstres]

if a guy tries to flirt with me, i lol at his sad attempt.

i like meeting new people though. :]

[qsushi]

the cute guys never do that...and the ones that do are just creepy

[GaeasX]

It's a really iffy situation. If you follow the girl around for a while and she notices you following, it's just creepy and you look like a stalker. But if you appear out of nowhere, it's like, "WHOA! Personal space!"

And I dunno, you should really only do it if you honestly want to meet new people/find a girlfriend. If you're gonna go to a mall just to pick up girls (see if you can get their numbers and never call them back), that's....eh. There are better places for that. Generally I feel like the guy would be invading personal space because she goes to the mall to have a good time with her friends, or have some nice alone time with herself, and it's kinda rude if you interrupt that time with insincere intentions.

[aiyan]

I wouldn't go for the guy unless we're connected by mutual friends.

If he's someone I have no connection to, I'm not very flattered / willing to say anything back.

[xrhapsody]

Guys always try to do that at the all. Aggressive or politely, I always reject lol.
I like meeting friends but at the mall is kind of strange.

[xspringrollsx]

That would depend on the person.
If he looked really shady then I would most likely kindly decline on giving them my number.
But he seems like a pretty presentable fellow.. why not?

But I guess s/o can be found anywhere. Mall= doesn't automatically mean low class

[shl979]

I didn't even know guys do that. Props to them, if they do. Girls, if you're not going to give us a real number, don't give us a fake one.

This seems highly likely to happen though.

even if so, giving a fake number is a bit harsh. but i do understand the point where the girl might want to be nice and try not to embarass the guy in front of his friends. in that case, the girl could just type in 555-555-5555, which i'm sure any guy would automatically know they're rejected. if they don't, then shame on them.

[qsushi]

wait...changed my mind. usually its creepy but today while i was working this cute guy stared at me and then walked away to the front of the store and then came back smiled and said hi and then kinda went off because he was shy and they tried getting my attention again. i donno, the way he was too shy to talk to me was cute so it was okay i guess

[ElectroHime]

i dont like it :|

Sometimes when i go to the mall some random guys like on the other side of where im walking "holler" at me.
And they are usually in groups.
Its happened a few times already. Sorry but it's a big turn off for me. Im not trying to sound arrogant or narccistic cus i dont even think im that pretty ...
I find it creepy, also it gives them a bad first impression to me, since people like that usually tries to pick up ANY pretty girl that passes by. I think of all the methods to meet women , this one has to be pretty sad and would fit right along with another creepy method like while you're driving you see a pretty girl, pull over , and holler O___O or
while im walking down the street somebody whistles or keepx yelling and following me saying "Hey girl ! stop for a second.."
and it HAS happened to me, i find it really creepy and since i live in Los Angeles a lot of guys do that here.

Looking is ok , but if i was walking around the mall and some guy kept following me and trying to talk to me,
EVEN if he was good looking i would seriously get annoyed.

I ignore guys like these.

I think it's attractive when a guy likes a girl or finds a girl cute, but he isnt very showy of his feelings.
Subtle ways of expressing fondness are best to me. Thats my type.
