Meeting Men OLD vs Real World

Hi Everyone! I have been a lurker here for sometime now and have a little dilemma that I hope someone can give me some advice. Some Motivation. I have been OLD since last July and nothing panned out. The last guy ghosted me after the third date. So, I am a bit discouraged with the whole OLD thing. But, I'm still kicking along.
This week I had two guys look at me, as if they were interested, while I was at the grocery store. The first one was in the parking lot and he waved. I waved back and drove off. He was approaching my van and I got scared and was really unprepared. And I looked like crap.
The second one followed me in another store and we looked at each other several times. But, he didn't say anything and walked out. I also looked like crap that day. Guys only look at me when I look my worse!
I need help in interacting with guys. Giving eye contact. Showing that I'm interested in having a conversation.
It's a bit easier with OLD because I know they are somewhat interested me by exchange of emails and chats.
Any suggestions?

>>And I looked like crap.

I doubt that or they wouldn't have tried to talk with you. Or maybe the guy was trying to tell you that your gas cap was open on the van?

In any event I'd say that normal conversation is the biggest thing to get things started. If you don't come off as friendly - most guys will retreat.
