Usually alcohol helps... takes away some inhibitions.
Back in my single days... I was sitting at the bar at a Gino's East Pizza place in the Chicago area hitting on really cute guy who turned out to be straight. I think my opening line was - please don't be offended - but you are cute as hell! While he didn't run away he ultimately turned me down.
As far as random encounters - walking through the mall, you need to make eye contact, look them up and down, (if your really bold - wink), then as they pass, turn quickly to see if they also turn to check you out. If they turn to check you out, chase after them and introduce yourself.
Usually that's pretty obvious...
I find (for the lack of a better term) flamboyant personalities are sometimes better at meeting people on the street. Me, I'm very masculine or straight acting. If you talk to me you'd wouldn't guess I'm gay unless I told you. My partner on the other hand, I think you can tell just by talking to him.
At a gay bar / club / event - it's much easier. One more story then I'll shut up.
Went to Chicago's Gay Pride with a bunch of friends. One friend owned a Limo company so we parked out in the burbs then took the Limo into Boys Town. We watched the parade then hit the Bars. Roscoe's on Roscoe & Halsted is one of my favorite bars. Anywho, our whole gang went in there to drink and dance. Well somehow I hooked up with a guy from out of town checking out Grad Schools in the area. He had a hotel and he wanted to get out of there.
Once again - I think I used the same line - Damn you're cute, want a drink? Want to dance? Want to go back to your house or mine?
My friends were a little shocked, when I said that I was leaving and would catch a ride back to the burbs while holding this boy's hand as we left.
