Do you smile at people? Try that.

When you are getting groceries seek out a cute guy by himself. If he's by himself ram his cart and say, "Get outta my way! Sheesh!" Then push your cart mumbling, "Just cause he's cute he thinks he can hog the whole aisle... Sheesh." Then don't look back. If he's interested he will approach you later. Guaranteed!

I do smile all the time and actually, people think it's odd. I always get asked "why are you smiling"? It's anoying after a while.

As for not being approached, I used to get hit on a lot before. For some odd reason, it's stopped completely in the last year or so. Not sure why.

It's football season!!! Do you have a Philadelphia Eagles Football team jersey? Guys dig that!
Guys might strike up a conversation with you when you're wearing it.

Haha, I might actually try and wear some team jersey on weekends! I love football, so I guess I won't have to fake being into it to attract someone.

That's really odd. Is smiling no longer a thing? Women used to be told to smile all the time because it makes them more attractive. Mothers, well-meaning aunts, even friends used to drill that into women's brains. Is that wave over, finally?

I don't know why! I'm always surprised when people ask me "why are you smiling?". As if there has to be a specific reason to smile. I love smiling, I always do but now I have to watch myself or people might think I'm a looney.
