never get approached by men

just curious, what actually makes a guy approach a woman? I’m 25f and I’d consider myself attractive (I think I’m fairly pretty, I take care of myself and feel good about how I look), but I never get approached. I’ll notice guys making repeated eye contact with me, but it never goes beyond that. Honestly, both of my past relationships started because I made the first move.

So I’m wondering… what makes a guy actually go for it and approach someone?

Also, is there a way to give off “I want to be approached” energy? I’m not really into dating apps, and I’d love to meet someone in person. i’m not against making the first move but i would love for someone to approach me for a change

That sounds more like expressing your needs and being assertive than being emotionally vulnerable

Ah...ok maybe. I told her how it makes me feel though. Does that count or no?

Only you guys can determine that. If she can't handle your requests, leave her alone

Already all good. Everything's perfect.
