Well raena then that response wasn't directed at you or nila. Plus I see plenty of guys asking out ladies from my position.

But at the same time this forum is kind of tight nit most poster are regulars and not a large collection of people so using this forum as a as parameter to gauge individuals and overall people experiences is pretty disingenuous.

Also the "I did once but it didn't work out so I going to let the guy initiate" response doesn't count to me in my opinion.

Now back to grabbing the flame shield.

So, guys who have learned this skill, how did you do it? Help out your brothers .
Some women just suck at giving out signals and some guys can't read obvious ones. Some women give out signals to multiple guys, at the same time I was pursuing a younger woman a few years ago who gave out signals so obvious that her friends and mine would always comment on it. Unfortunately, at times, I saw her kissing some other guy in the parking lot at the bar we were at

To all the men who say they are clueless when a woman flirts with them, don't worry, some of us are in the same boat as you (maybe just the starboard side boat though). Evidently I don't know when a man is flirting with me (according to both male and female friends). I interpret everything shy of asking me out as "just being friendly and polite." I can't tell you how many times friends have told me "he was flirting with you Jillabean!!!" I am kind of thick... then again I am a blonde

Back to reality. You knew he was flirting how did you not he was flirting? Most men will sleep with most women. Most women will not sleep with most men. Because most women don't see non-successful men as men. He might be hot or a boy-toy or the 'bestfriend', but he won't be a man.
