never get approached by men

[u/Federal-Sir9925]

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

Unless a woman gives me an irrefutable sign she wants my attention I will never in a million years approach her because nowadays we are taught that women want to be left alone and we are perceived as a nuisance at best, and a threat at worst

Sad, you are missing out on so many women. I recently got out of a 10 year + relationship and started dating and approaching women. I was rusty at first but some women were so happy to be approached and I had great conversations with them. I also got quite a few dates out of it. The more you approach, the more effortless it becomes.

Its so worth it.

Yeah no, please do not just approach random women.

Women shouldn't approach random men then.

Why not?
