This is a poll of sorts. Just wondering what you guys and girls prefer. How do you like to approach and/or be approached? Direct as in: "Hey I noticed you and..." or indirectly through other people, notes, hints, whatever? Mention whether you're a man or woman too.

I'm am man. I prefer to be the approachee and I like women who are direct. If I have to do the approaching then I usually beat around the bush for ages until I'm 99% sure she's going to say yes when I ask her out. Yup I'm a chicken no doubt about it

Direct approach. It shows confidence.

Eh, nobody likes rejection, but you won't go too far with this approach.

When I was single, besides looking for rings on the left hand, pictures on the desk, etc. I would always try to find out someone's situation indirectly before making any approach.

Sun Tzu would approve I think.

I'm a guy, and I like to approach down-wind whenever possible, the chloroform-soaked rag in the right hand and the stun-gun in the left.

If I'm the one being approached, I prefer 1/2" cotton line on my wrists but 5/8" polyester line on my ankles, since I have strong legs.

Hope this helps!

the indirect approach seems more romantic. also it extends the thrill of the chase...if i am the one being chased
i am married so dont do any approaching, but if i did, i would also use the indirect method for the same reasons
