9 times out of 10, the woman will still want the man to approach. The chemistry could be off the chain between the two, but some women won't ever ask out a man.

Agreed. You could meet someone anywhere. But you have to get out, and even when you do that, you may have to make a 1st move, but it's probably easier when it's an activity or mutual interest, because conversation can just flow better-rather than a cold approach of asking for someone's phone number. Start up a convo first. It's scary when you're not used to making first moves, or fear of rejection, but some things get easier as you do it. But with a shared interest, it's more natural.

Some women, true. But if the chemistry is off the chain between the two, it would be easier for the guy to ask her out, since it would be obvious she's interested. But some women who are that interested will eventually take matters into their own hands. Some will hint around, others will suggest getting together after the shared activity.


So, tell us, how did you get the ball rolling with this new gf?

So how did you make it happen? This could be helpful for others. How did you overcome the usual fear of rejection and inertia?

I saw her in my college class last month. I wanted to approach her, but my shyness kicked in. However, I saw her smiling at me one day. I figured she was just being friendly. Then she started sitting next me. Without hesitation, I asked her could I get to know her better. We got to know each other for a few weeks, then I officially asked her out on a date. It turned into 3 dates and spending labor day with each other. The next day (It was a Tuesday) we both decided to become an official couple. After that, the nervousness went away.

I just forced myself to do it. When she said yes I thought I was dreaming.

BRAVO! So she started sitting next to you. That's what told you that the smiling was more than just being nice/friendly. So you see, some women DO kinda throw themselves at you. Some are blatant, some are subtle. Good for you for picking up the ball and running with it!

A round of applause, people! For the shy guy in the 49er's shirt!
