There is one woman I'd give a chance and that's my best friend of almost 20 years.

Most women will not come straight out and say "I think you're cute" or "I like you". In many cases, she may even reject you initially, but then develop an interest in you (if you go about it the right way). This is especially true if her friends like you (they will advocate for you).

Either way, even if you can't do any of those things, it's always best to assume that the girl is into you (when in doubt). In that case, you are more likely to make a move and remove all doubt.
Well, of course I know they won't flat out say they like you. It's just how would you even know a woman is interested in you if she treats you like everyone else? If she's not flirty in any way where she compliments me or something, I'd never know that she likes me.

I just ask out whoever I want.

If I suspect that a girl is interested in me who I am not interested in, I will likely flirt with her for the ego boost, but then feign ignorance if I ever find out that she likes me (which, in many cases you won't, because neither they nor their friends would admit that to you unless you show clear interest).

Why is it sketchy if they're interested? Just because she's pretty?

And the friendzone is real unfortunately...even more so than leagues. I've seen my buddy date a girl, then become friends, then try again with her and she wouldn't have it. He wasn't her type anyways they just dated because of the situation they were in. It was almost embarrassing watching him try with her again and again because we all knew that time was dead and gone for them. It was sad really and quite embarrassing for him and to watch. He would've been safer just dismissing that altogether. They weren't even as close as he thought. Ugh I'm feeling embarrassed for him just thinking about it!

As said, it would make you wonder what her motive is. Why would an attractive woman need to hit on someone? Only exceptions is in a bar/club setting where I'm sure it happens quite frequently but with casual sex on their minds. I just would feel weird about it I think if I got hit on by a woman I thought was really attractive. I don't think I'd turn her down, but I'd know for sure I'd be wondering what her motive is. Like you said, I'd really hate to get the wrong impression of her & just turn her down when she could genuinely be interested but I know I'd have doubts since I've never experienced it before.

I also wonder what everyone's interpretation of a woman "approaching" is. Blatantly going up to the guy and saying "let's go out" or her dropping subtle hints for you to contact her? If it's the latter I hardly see how that would be at all suspicious.

I totally understand the motive thing...still just seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy for men who don't believe they're good enough for the women they actually want.

Well, I've never been hit on in real life so I assume I'm not in an attractive woman's league. But I'd rather be single than be with someone I'm not attracted to. It's unfair on both sides. A woman on another forum who helped give me online dating profile pic suggestions said I'm a good looking guy. And another decent looking woman said I'm a 7 or 8 in looks, but I don't know if they were just being nice. Since if I really were a 7 or an 8 I'd like to think I'd have been hit on a decent amount of times.
