If it's not happening to you, either you miss their intent or you seem unappealling to them, in some way that is probably not to do with looks or money.

I talk to old ladies behind me at the cash register too. Is that an approach?

I talk to guys in the gym to ask for a spot. Then we would just talk about other random stuff. Is that an approach?



Jeez using the female definition of an approach....I guess I am approaching both genders at least 10 times a day.

Maybe not always, but it can of course be an approach. She's starting a conversation, and if both parties are amenable to it, that conversation can lead to something more. How are you supposed to ask someone out if you don't talk to them first?

I guess the only thing that qualifies as an approach is walking up to a guy and saying, "Hi. Would you like to date and or have sex with me?"

Hmmm… Maybe this is why a lot of guys aren't that successful on here. If you actually TALK to people - that might lead to more than just asking out total strangers.

Excuse you?

I asked tons of guys out. From highschool, outerstaters, online guys, my son's father, friends friend, but you are right this isn't totally recent.I gave my # out first.

I endured the same crap you guys do.The nervousness, the what if's, was it me, etc.

So don't give me crap oh you just talk to people.No I asked guys out. And you know what? I had dates in the past because I asked them out.

So get off your duff and try it. You may meet a cool chick.

that never happens to me and I can't remember the last time it did, I believe a lot of guys can say the same thing, that not only do most girls never ask guys out, but they never say hi or start a conversation first, never do anything to break the ice

Your victim/martyr status isn't going to get you anywhere in life, just sayin'.
