Hey everyone! Happy New Year!!!!! I'd like a little advice. I am 38 year old mixed (African American and White/Jewish) woman with one child and never been married. I'm a corporate sales rep for a fourtune 500 company, have a strong and funny personality and I don't look all that bad. When attending functions that include men, I normally get a lot of stares...
My question: Why do men look or stare without approaching me? It's the craziest thing and very frustrating. I am a little old school in that; I don't think or feel like I should do the approaching. What do you think????

Intimidating?! You probably don't give out the vibes of being willing to stroke fragile egos. And from what I've heard, LA has more than its fair share of those.

If you want them to approach you, you need to give them a really big smile and look them straight in the eye for about five seconds...one, two, three, four, five. This lets them know that you are inviting them to come over.
So...do you think that I should approach a man that I find interesting. At first glance I've been told that I look sort of stuck up but honestly I am such a goof ball and people love me after they get to know me. So what do you think????

And then when they come over, keep smiling, look down, and act shy. Let them ask the first question or offer to buy you a drink or something. Like everything else, it's a game and you have to know how to play it.
It's not easy for a man to walk up to a strange woman in a bar or restaurant and then face rejection. That's why you have to smile and look him in the eye. And a man likes to feel like a man. Women forget this. They try and overpower the meeting, take control of the conversation, or they won't let him pay for the drink. Don't try to compete with him. Let him speak the first word. If you like him and he offers to buy you a drink or an appetizer, say yes.
Everyone is different. Some men are shy and would be open to being approached by a lady. Your a sale professional. Use those sales instincts, read the person you are interested in. Use what comes natural to you and you'll do fine.
Good luck, there's someone out there for everyone. There's someone out there for you. Go get em tiger!
