I know. Pharmacies require customers to maintain a certain distance from the desk while they're waiting to be served. To give the customer at the counter privacy. It's a requirement. They don't want you overhearing what other customers' personal medical issues are and what meds they're taking, etc.
Guy #2 wanted to ask you out but you didn't give the right signals back.
Relax. And practice. Don't forget to smile alot.
I hunted all my exes down through starting a casual conversation. I would still be a virgin if I wouldn't ALWAYS make the first move.
Yep, just relax and practice (and practicing will help you relax more because it will start to come naturally)... and don't fret or take things personally. I find most of the time approaching a man leads to nothing. And it seems to be true of men approaching women too (if it makes you feel better). It's not that there is anything wrong with you (or him)... it's just you didn't click with him.
But it sounds like you are off to a much better start than me... to this date, no man I approached (really approached, not initiated contact with through online dating) has ever gone out with me. I have gotten phone numbers or given mine, but I still haven't had any "real" luck. But that might be a product of my age (I am over 35 and most men my age are married) and where I live (again... mostly married couples. So it's hard to randomly run into a single man about my age). I don't let it get me down too much though--after all, eventually I might run into someone and in the meantime, I've met some pretty interesting men along the way.
I find that hard to believe, I've seen your pictures.
I haven't seen her pictures, but if you look at the thread about how often men ask women out (and half haven't approached in over a year)... it might explain things a bit.

Tall and confident (which I wasn't always but people assume it) scares alot of guys.
I've been out of the dating scene for a while now and I'm just starting to get back in. Moved to a new city so it's kind of weird, and I'm trying to figure out WTF guys want!!
Guys on here are always saying that girls should initiate the conversation, but I have no idea how to do this. I'm so out of practice.
Example #1:
I'm at the local pharmacy. Just got done with a run so I'm sweaty, but I don't sweat a lot so I'm not super gross or anything. There's a cute guy at the counter waiting for the cashier to come up and ring him out. He smiles at me. I feel like an idiot because I'm 1.) buying blister bandages, which doesn't exactly scream "sexy." 2.) I have no idea if he is smiling at me because he thinks I'm cute, or if he is just being polite, or what.
So I just give a quick smile and look away and ignore him, because I am a moron.
Example #2:
I just get done with a class I'm taking. It's not the normal session I usually take, so there are people that I don't really know there. One of them is a guy who is pretty cute. On the walk home I end up standing next to him on the street corner. He's got his earbuds in so I say "Hey, it's you."
He takes his earbuds out and starts talking. Asks me where I'm going, and I say home. He asks if a certain theater is having shows that night, and I say I have no idea. He tells me he's on his way to work, and instead of saying something like "where do you work?" I just say "oh, cool." Finally he kind of gives up talking to me and crosses the street, and he reminds me of his name as he walks away. I don't know if I'm supposed to give him mine or just assume he is being cordial.
Again, because I am a moron.
Bottom line is, I'm not sure if these guys want to be approached or if I'm misreading signals. I don't want to be some creepy chick who hits on random dudes at the pharmacy or on the street corner, and I also assume that if they were really that into me they'd be the ones doing the chasing.
Am I right about this, or should I have tried a little harder?
It feels so good that a woman now knows how I have felt most of my life.
I haven't seen her pictures, but if you look at the thread about how often men ask women out (and half haven't approached in over a year)... it might explain things a bit.
What happens on here and what happens in real life are two different things. What I see in real life with my own eyes are guys hitting/flirting on women. Now it may not be the guys that she wants, but I find it hard to believe that NO men approch her.
