That may be true for some, but I'm already set in my ways.

But good luck to the rest of y'all.

I don't make excuses for anything, lol
I met my husband because I approached him....
back when I was barely 16 (he was 29)
I was stranded in a snowstorm, & he gave me a ride home....

These days I don't approach too much, lol
I let them come to me.
One thing tho- although I consider myself on the shy side-
I have no qualms initiating a conversation w/ a hot guy, if he's alone.
If he's got people w/ him, forget it.

I don't really know them. From what I know about them is my own self-projections, my own fantasies of who I perceive to them to be who they are.. probably not true, but a figment of my own imaginations. I go with the flow, and let things be. If we happen to date, then we will. No need to force a situation if we do happen to mesh will and it is the right time (baggage free, we are both happy and grounded within our own selves), my feeling is life has its way of falling into place when people are happy within their own self and have a clear perspective on relationships- not based on fantasy but on reality based those dreams coming true only to slowly reveal itself.

They're usually with their husbands or boyfriends. I'm not going to flirt with a woman in front of her SO, that would be rude.

When I was single, being that I'm so tall and like to wear high heels, I figured most men weren't, or wouldn't be, interested...that they preferred someone shorter than themselves. (Plus my self esteem was on the lower side.) My attitude was that if they were attracted to me, they'd approach me.

I don't think any woman is perfect and I'm pretty picky.

However, if a woman piques my interest, I don't have any issue with going for it.

85% of women in my demographic where I live are either married, in a relationship or gay, I don't approach unless invited. Assuming the woman has via eye contact or body language invited me to talk to her... the most common excuse for not talking to her is simply that I can't think of anything interesting to say off the top of my head. Some guys have a pre loaded line or two for such situations, and I probably should have one or two also, but it just makes me feel creepy and fake to use a prepared line. I wish I could overcome this mental obstacle of not wanting to use a prepared line.

This. Or her husband/boyfriend must be at home. That's why she's alone without a man accompanying her.
