Hmmm......it's been a few years, I wonder if I suck at it now?

I am shy in the beginning it's easier if the person is a mutual aqaintence.....

How would you do your approach out of curiosity?

And if I am not really doing it for any other reason than to see what happens, not EXPECTING or anticipating one outcome or the other?
And if it is just simple interraction - completely unthreatening?
Then I would think more guys would be willing to be brave about it too...what could it hurt?

Perhaps your experience will help you garner more insight into why many guys are tired of it.

What could it hurt? Oh...I don't know, your pride, your self-esteem, your confidence etc. etc. etc.

Isn't "rejected" a rather strong term to use for this particular instance? Being broken up with is much more of a rejection than someone you don't know not being into you. It's not fun, granted, but it's nothing to wallow in self pity about.

Because like you guys it is frustrating to not have things work out.

I gave up, and wanted to concentrate on me and my son.

My friends still try to set me up. I told them no more! They keep giving me men that have millions of hang-ups. One didn't like that my friend came without her boyfriend and he couldn't compete. Although I was 27-28.

Now I'm old and count my grays. Haha.
