I never actually tried cold-approaching someone I didn't know. Usually I waited until there was some flirtation going on, gauged his interest, and then did the asking. Only one turned me down because he believed the dude should do the asking. Oh well.

If you are an attractive female, you do not need to make the first move.

The women who make first moves are usually subpar. Exceptions can happen, like anything else, but when most guys are dealing with a woman who initiated (online or offline), it is usually a subpar woman.

Or perhaps impatient women who tend to go for the shy types.

So? Not all women can be attractive. You men certainly aren't all attractive but that doesn't stop you from approaching and initiating.

I do not trust women who make the first move. In my experience, they have turned out to be easy and cheaters.

I'm a guy who misses "signals" all the time... and that's very typical (I've talked with many of my friends and this is consensus: men rarely notice if a woman is into us unless they make it a point to come on strong).

Those of us guys with great confidence, we like that, we in fact worship the Goddesses willing to step out of the shadows to make a connection. Just do it. Life is too short to be pining away in the darkness... come out into the light and do your will!

Be love!
What type of OBVIOUS signals would you notice if she didn't approach?

First of all, as far as I'm concerned it's insulting to women who do approach guys to say that they're all unattractive or sub-par. This is not always true.

Even at my age (mid-40's) I still get hit on by women on a semi-regular basis. I'm not attracted to all of them but am attracted to some of them. If I'm into them, it's great.

There is also nothing wrong with women making the first move. I actually like it when this happens, because if I find her attractive, I don't have to wonder if she's into me.

Maybe women who believe this are easy or creepy?
