I wouldn't approach her, because I would think she would not be interested, she just wants to have fun with her friends, not looking for anything. That's just what I think. Unless she gave me some kind of signal that she was interested.

So then maybe a bit more eye contact on my part ......the body language giving a go ahead??

Good point totage...

I know where you're coming from. Seems like most of the time when I go out with some friends I am the 3rd, 5th, or 7th wheel. I just try not to sweat it too much, it'll happen when it is supposed to.

Must admit though, I am looking forward to having dinner next week with someone I met on JSH...we'll see...

Best of luck to ya Fresh

IF I WAS TO GUESS, SHE IS WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESN`T TAKE HER ANYWHERE AND HER FRIENDS ARE TRYING TO SHOW HER A GOOD TIME

I think she would be too sheltered

just pick out any guy you desire and say you are now my beatch, now shut up bend over and take it liek a real man....

@ Atom .....had I only kown it was that easy....

So apparently there are some guys that feel intimidated by a single girl in a large group....

i think all men do to some point hun

pick a guy any guy i will help you make hiom abide by your orders...lol

YOURE not in a group when you walk to the bathroom.... with those come hither eyes.......

Personally I'm intimidated by crowds even if there is a single girl in the mix, I'm more likely to aproach a girl alone than with other people.

So Gypsy I will make sure that I shake my money maker on my bathroom trips....

And illusion I will go to the bar by myself to purchase my drinks.......think that would help???

well pick one already

and i like corn rows, i do them alot

Fresh,

Do I think it can be to a woman's disadvantage to be mixed in with a group of couple? Yes, I think it can? But I also think the single woman's personality will also determine if this is a "true" disadvantage. What I am saying is that if she is outgoing, nine times out of ten men will notice her even if she is in the group. Now, this doesn't neccessarily mean that guys will approach her, but I feel the probability that they would approach her would be higher. If she is a bit shy, even with an attractiveness to her, I think she will suffer from the disadvantage that a large group can\does have.

I find that a single woman within a large group of people does make me not want to approach her. That is just me. I am more inclined to talk to a woman if she is with one or two friends. I don't feel overwhelmed. But, I have talked to a girl who was in your similar situation, and I must say that I felt good about doing so. Some men can just walk up to a woman in a group and talk. Others can't. It just depends on the guy.

I'm tired, and this could all be jibberish, so I will shut up now.

Actually you have just described one of the oddities of single life. I don't know how many times I have been the third party in a dinner with one of my friends and his wife or girlfriend. I don't know what other people think from the outside looking in, but I know I always feel weird sitting there as a # 3 in a couple's world...

Atom....your hair looks to short for corn rows...

Goof....I have never been shy I am very much an extrovert.....sometimes I think that also intimidates men

And, to some men, it can do just that. I like a woman like this. I really do...as long as I can tell it is genuine, which I am sure yours is.

Some men like aggressive and extrovert-ish women...

If it were a bar, I wouldn't be there, I don't go to bars, so I would never find you there. At any other social event, I would respect the table of strangers and I would not think of entering in to someone else's business. That's not my style.

It might be that you need to make the move, instead of sitting around waiting for some guy to come to you. Go grab somebody that fits your fancy, and ask him to dance, etc. You won't be alone at the table full of friends after that.

I'm not really sure you're going to meet a decent guy at a bar, anyways (in my opinion.)

The references to bars being "meat markets" comes to mind.

Maybe you need to seek what you need in a different fashion.

One other observation I have made over time... its overly easy to find an alcoholic at a bar, instead of a decent partner. The relationship (in my opinion) is established around a bottle of booze, rather than something more wholesome like simple friendship.

My 2 or 3 cents.
