A very lame question about eye candies

So I've been strolling down the Ave of Americas these days and I happened to see some eye candies mostly somewhere next to the corporate buildings. Sometimes ladies, sometimes gents. Here comes my bizarre situation question: how should I respond to the fact that I want to look at them like I'm appreciating an artwork but I don't want them to notice, out of courtesy consideration.
Of course I'd like it to be a mutual interest so should I act more affirmative and aggressive to look directly into their eyes for a few seconds or even give them a wink?
I'm not trolling, just a little social issue. thanks all you suave guys.

FrankD'anconiaOP, you ask very thought provoking questions- I must say.

Anyway, just stare at them. Not creepy at all.

Thanks. This situation provokes my thought every day. I will take your advice and start practicing stares with my mirror. What facial expressions should go along with my stare to look not creepy at all? any ideas?

Morten123Seriously, look them in the eyes, say hi and see what happens.
Has anyone ever done this method before? Seems a bit aggressive.

I've done this a certain times with hot chicks. but you gotta say something like "wow, I think you are the most gorgeous lady tonight' Then the conversation starts. It works much better with chicks, to tell you.

Seems a bit aggressive, everyone in this city is constantly heading to their destination. So I feel they don't want to be bothered for a chat especially by someone they never met before.

unless by someone whose "killing eyes" are irresistable for them to think much.

good, many thanks. I wonder if I need to add something after hi, given how most new yorkers are a little defensive.

If you are over the age of 21, you should have mastered this art by now. You get no help from me.

Even though I couldn't agree with the title, I almost cried with joy to take the 'BEST" part from you, my dear. I gotta tell you, if I have any opportunity to do my "eye flirt on the street" practice, I will always assume the target is you so I can give my best shot.

Thanks all for your kind responses and for not thinking I'm troll. I'm an aggressive person, a go-getter for sure. But I've got few comments like "why are you shy"(by American standard) from strangers at social events sometimes, which I take as insult.(maybe that's because I don't talk loud and act bubbly like a fucking idiot). However I began to wonder how I should change. First, I want myself to successfully flirt with hot strangers on the street(even it is "mute flirting" like eye contact only). I've just made this goal and your guidance means so much to me.

Vi10/10 troll or Indian

LOL

Reminds me of this from LSO:

"I was by the bar the other night at Tenjune when I overhead two, back-officey, young Indian guys talking. Perhaps hoping to capitalize on their first time inside a hip club, they chatted strategically, devising about things called “2-sets” and “openers.” At first, I assumed they were talking about whatever dudes like that talk about: database theory, trading systems, and suicide. But then they came to a resolution and walked up to two girls and said something or another. They got shot down, returned to the bar, and, seemingly unphased, decided they’d keep “plowing” together and that soon, they’d fully grasp the “Mystery Method.” The guys then did 4 shots each, began touching each other’s hair and faces while practicing “kino escalation,” and I came to understand that the “Mystery Method” must be something created to facilitate homosexuality. I grew overwhelmingly uncomfortable at the notion of these two dudes parsing through my work emails and promptly had them removed."

 

Let me tell you the reason behind: I've attended a lot of events now and my love life is still zero (for all kinds of reasons) I'm really worried (to be honest, i'm scared because I always believe my look is so fine), so I need to start making stronger moves.

I_Feel_CapitalI think there is a magical place where you can do all this without consequence. It's called a bar.

good catch, that's the easiest way. but 1. I don't want any influence of alcohol to boost my gut, I want it happen in broad day light when I can have a good view of their appearance 2. not so many bars are full of very good looking yuppies. Name some please.

Get their attention, then stare them down, straight in the eye. Women are like animals, if you make them look away first, you own them.

“stare them down, straight in the eye” Brilliant, brilliant. You totally grasped what I meant but failed to put that way. Being the first one to look away truly sucks and indicates lack of balls. So next, how can I send a mix messages of sexy, strong, and sensual into one damn stare?

That's not true. Women think staring is creepy.

Step 1: Look indirectly into her eyes.

Step 2: Look down when she sees you or make an non-vulgar, innuendo gesture.

 

walk up to her and ask if shes mirrin'
