Does Hitting On Women at the Grocery Store Work? YES! 😍
In most scenarios, landing a date or phone number usually involves 3 key stages…
Breaking the ice: Start a light conversation.
Carrying on the conversation: Keep it interesting!
Shooting your shot: Get her digits or ask her out.
This process can take hours at a bar, and days (or even weeks!) on an app.
But not at the grocery store!
The beauty of the supermarket is you get to skip the longest part—the middle.
No drawn-out conversations are expected between the kiwis and the kale, so you can shoot your shot much faster.
It’s kinda like express check-out 😉 🥦
The 5/5 Supermarket Approach
The 5/5 Supermarket Approach is my 5-step, 5-minute playbook for Aisle Romance.
Here’s how it works…
Step 1 - Send a friendly signal 👋🏽
Spotted someone you’re curious about? Perfect. But no need to hover! Be mindful of her personal space while signaling your interest in a respectful manner—like making eye contact, offering a genuine smile, or giving a casual wave.
This sets a friendly tone and lets you gauge her interest before taking the next step.

Step 2 - Say something relatable 💬
Time to break the ice. Avoid comments about her looks—it’s not the place for that. Instead, use what’s around you to start a conversation. Here are some ideas:
"Hey, was looking for that granola 😅 Where’d you find it?"
"You’re the second person I’ve seen grabbing that snack today 😊 Is it that good?"
"Can you believe these prices, $8 for oranges - crazy 🤪!"
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? At least that’s the plan 😉."
Not every opener has to be a question. Keep it light and give her the chance to respond.

Step 3 - Assess her body language 🤔
Now, you’ve gotta quickly read her body language:
🟢 Green lights: She stops shopping, faces you, chats, or smiles.
🔴 Red lights: Even if she responds, her back is turned, or she keeps moving.
If you’re getting green lights, great! Move to the next step. If it’s a no-go, just wish her a nice day and carry on.
Step 4 - Introduce yourself and create trust 🫱🏽🫲🏾
Share a little slice of your life to build trust. Here are some ideas:
"I'm Ben, by the way. Working from home has turned me into a snack fiend! Trying to make better choices this week."
"I’m Ben, by the way. Having friends over for a barbecue this weekend, stocking up coz they eat everythinggg. Do you live nearby?"
These details create trust and give her something to engage with.
Step 5 - Shoot your shot 🏀
Once you’re in friendly banter territory, take action. You can keep it low-stakes by asking to exchange social media:
"This has been nice! Would you be open to connecting on Instagram?"
Or, if you’re feeling bold, step it up:
"You seem really nice! Would you be open to exchanging numbers?"
And if everything aligns perfectly:
"Are you busy after this? I’ll be done in 10 minutes if you want to grab a coffee—no pressure!"

Go when you actually need groceries. Pretending to shop is no bueno and will create a weird energy.
Go when it’s busy, like Saturday mornings. Depending on where you live, this might require a little groundwork.
Go to high-end supermarkets if you’re looking to meet health conscious professionals.
