For the men who have been hit on by a woman, what was the best approach, start up line, relationship like prior to her asking you out etc. etc.?

What was the worst approach a woman's ever taken when asking you out?

I initiated contact with almost all of the men I have dated, including my current partner. I approached him, and things progressed from there. I don't recall a formal "asking out" on a date. It was just a matter of picking a date that worked for both of us.

We met online. I made a comment about his really long profile, longer than mine, which I thought was a nearly impossible feat, and something else he brought up in his profile about dating and attraction.

A smile and simple "hello, how are you?" is about all you will need for most men. The ones that are interested will reciprocate.

Pretty much. I would caution from actually asking him out "Want to ____ sometime". Being so forward will insinuate that you want quick sex. Men like myself want to do the chasing. So smiling and showing interest (keep conversation going) will be enough. Let him think he actually made the move

If it's still not working then focus in on interest/hobbies (like if you must "Oh I love that Sports team). But DON'T be the one to say "Yeah, we should....."

Women asking a man out is like seeing a unicorn in real life. It doesn't happen.

Unicorns don't believe in you.

A girl asking me out would probably receive an automatic no...just because I like to have and not be had.

You have to put some effort into your looks to get noticed.
Be ready when a guy suggests something to you. It's a hidden attempt to ask you out without feeling rejection.
It normally starts with a question like "have you ever...?"
Then your answer would be "no I haven't, but I would like to".
This is an open invitation for something greater depending on who's leading and who's paying attention to the hints.

I can't think of a woman who approached me and didn't want "quick sex".

I'm impressed by the clear role structure and the activities that emulate this dating game is akin to playing chess or taking over a political dominion. I would worry that if I broke the pattern of engagement I may be found out for who I really am.

The women who have caught my attention and have asked me out have noted my behaviors and my conversations and have picked up threads of the same, interweaving them to show my best qualities and a true interest in knowing me. They have identified character and sensitivity and have keenly attended to my mannerisms as a way of saying they have paid attention.

Someone who reflects 'me' for who I am gets a call-back when they leave their number. And that latter part: it is usually to confirm time for doing something in the future - 'I'd like to get together when you have time, when we can talk, when there is no pressure from circumstance or environment - we will create a place for us to have a similar exchange in the near future.' They have laid out all the groundwork; I simply need to offer date and time, and it will unfold.
