So people shouldnt ask others out because they might want sex?

You know what I find, when I am in a relationship THEN guys come out of the woodwork and hit on me. Times like now when I am perfectly single, nada. It's just uncanny

There are a fair amount of men that assume that for some reason... they think if a woman is talking to them, that woman must be "desperate." But I think that's slowly dying out... and I don't think most men think this way. Although it can be hard to discern who thinks this way and who doesn't. You just have to give them a try and be on your toes.

And there's also the thing that you brought up with your last relationship, which is some guys will go through the motions with a woman because she's there and she's willing and he's got no other options at the moment. So it's not that he actually is into her and wants to date (he probably wouldn't have approached her,) he's just got nothing else going on and he'll probably get laid out of it. Those are tricky to suss out, too.

It probably depends on how she talks to a guy.

If she offers her name and asks if he is single ...

..... or if she just starts a casual conversation about the situation they are in (grocery store, bar, coffee shop) which is more playful. It gives the man the hint she is interested in talking but doesn't put the pressure on him that she REALLY NEEDS A BF RIGHT NOW AND FOREVER.

About 10% of the guys who approach me online and look okay, are either dead broke or ex prisoners or have 4 kids by 5 women or a freaky hobby or . .. or ..I am a freak magnet. So if you are attracted to me, there must be something wrong with YOU
Don't be so modest, Eve you know you get hit on all the time by hot guys of all ages old, young and crazy, Lol

And I know you love the attention; what woman doesnt

Yes that is true too! I definitely dont come off as desperate, but if he was interested he would have said more than lets get together some time, he would have made it happen. I made it happen so hes like why not... which isnt good for me in the long run.

Of course I do. And i get alot of attention when I walk in a bar... with my 6'2" (wearing shoes with slight heel) and a tight dress.

But then they look away and concentrate on the girls who look just as hot but are a few inches shorter. So they can keep their manlihood.

There's that too... I am still working on getting over that hurt. It's been two months, we only dated for about 5, you'd think I would be over him by now
