What is coming off as "shy" to the woman is a man running from her because he doesn't want her, and he is too well-bred to state that rudely. I'd say at most, approach a man you like one time, be alert for real cues that he is into you. If you don't perceive any coming from him, just back off.
Are you saying women should never approach a man?

Yup. I assume men get nervous and then they don't know what to say or how to say it. Just like women get nervous. I think everybody gets nervous once in a while.

Most women don't approach men especially good looking ones so you have the competitive advantage.

Some men don't respond to me. I just let it go. But there are those who do. I usually only approach them when there is something interesting about them, or they are very good looking. Or sometimes I have a question, and if they let me know they are looking for a girlfriend and I am not into him that way, i'll just say I have a boyfriend so I don't hurt his feelings.

They ignore you when you talk to them? Why lie? I rather hear the truth.

Some guys do just look away. Others smile at me and we get to talking. I guess not everybody is going to like the same thing. But like if a guy say he is at the grocery store and you smile politely and make some conversation and then he immediately lets me know that he is looking for a new girlfriend, and i'm not feeling it, then I'll just tell him I have a boyfriend because I rather not make him feel badly. Maybe I should tell him that he doesn't do it for me, but I don't want to embarrass him in front of everyone either.

It's come to my attention that other people just say NO or not even talk to them. I guess I should just be rude , too. I need to practice.

Nah, don't do that. TX women are too beautiful and classy to pull off rude well.

Yeah, I just don't like being rude, unless they are rude first. Like some guys that I talk to who are not into me, will just not talk to me. But I've noticed they are not very good looking to begin with and i'm usually talking to them to ask them something and they get the wrong idea. The good looking ones are never rude, they always smile back. It's one of the things good looking people have, that they are hardly ever rude. So I am never rude to people either.

They look away because they are shy? Lol

I talk to random women at grocery but that does not mean I am looking for a g/f.

If a woman finds me unattractive then she should tell me upfront. I like honest feedback.
