I know it's been done before, but there's a lot more who have joined and are in the forums. So just curious. You see someone of the opposite sex whether it's at a mall, restaurant, grocery store. There's just something about them you find desirable. How do you approach them? And what is it at first that attracts you to them in the first place? I'm pretty shy but it's the eyes and smile if he makes eye contact I won't hesitate to say hello.

I just think,"I wish" then walk away.

aww sometimes just a simple hello

My dog likes to say hello to people. I spoke to two women that I didn't even know when I was taking her out for a walk earlier today. That's how I usually meet strangers when I'm out in public. It gives you something to talk about anyway. Then I maybe introduce myself and ask them if they live locally. That sort of thing.

yes that also is a good way to meet people and strike up conversations but what is it yiu find desirable to make you want to strike up the conversation to begin with

Oh, I'll talk to pretty much anyone that will give me the time of day. If they just ignore me and don't say anything I don't usually pay them any attention at all and I just go about my business.

It's the eyes, the air about them. The way they hold themselves. And then look at me with that glint, hint of lust, and sly smile. Those type gut reactions that make me feel slightly uncomfortable but excited at the same time.

My mother told me that a lady doesn't look a man in the eyes because it will give him ideas, maybe even false ones. And she trained me as a child to avert my eyes immediately if one should pass by and show interest.

So her conservative training combined with my innately sensual nature and uncontrollable urges really screwed me up. On the one hand my body and soul wanted to make contact to see where it might go, on the other my mother was always looking at me with those stern eyes and making me avert my eyes.

Soooooooooo... I grew up alone and kinda stunted I guess... never able to make the first move because even if I wanted too I'd get embarrassed and tongue tied.

Attitude

I find you extremely desirable.

I didn't see that coming...

Interesting, made me realize I have a very similar inner conflict :/ Even though I cannot remember anyone in this life telling me to not look a man in the eyes. Something inside of me does tell me to do so, for reasons you mentioned. God knows where that came from then?

I get approached often enough I really don't think about it. I find a lot of types attractive for one reason or another. Each person is different and what makes them attractive is as well. As far as approaching them goes...Well I don't have any reservations just walking up saying something. One of my jobs is in customer service so talking to strangers comes pretty easily.

we women possess natural instincts that sharpen over time and experience, and we tend to rely on those that can read and direct our actions to ensure our safety more often than not.

Calling cards.

Hi, I'm so-so and I find you extremely attractive.

If you're available and care to, give me a call and let's do coffee, or lunch soon.

Then offer them your calling card.

PS
I get mine from Vistaprint.

They start out at 250 for the cost of shipping, around $6.00.

A girl got my phone number from the tag on my dog's collar once. I'm thinking about getting a T shirt printed.

I do not usually approach men for romantic or dating purposes. probably the generation I was raised in. But I will say hello. If there is no context for a conversation I am pretty cautious. I do not normally provide strangers with my contact info, etc.

if i really get attracted to a guy I might smile and say hello...if he doesnt respond back.....well too bad

I think Ms AthenaRose2 is hottern a firecracker.

I don't have to have contact with her to do that.

I will continue to adore her from afar, afar, afar, afar.

Echo for effect.

I'm often preoccupied or just slow...
But this will usually get my attention.
