Would you (ladies) initiate a conversation with a random guy you think is cute?

Everything I hear or read seems to suggest that it's the guy's "job" to start things rolling. For people like me who are not good at conversation in general are completely lost when it comes to starting one. I want to get some experience, but but right now get completely overwhelmed when I'm the center of focus (AKA, the one who's forces to start the talk). Just wondering how many girls would go up to a guy they liked for the first time and start talking with them.

As a man, you need to improve this skill. If you don't, you'll be waiting for things to happen and that wait could be a long one.

...besides, you *should* approach if she grabs your attention, ya know? You're missing out if you don't.

On a site like this, I feel it is absolutely appropriate for anyone to contact someone they find attractive or interesting. I have no problems whatsoever being the first to contact a guy. I have found, however, that a lot of guys perceive this as an invitation to engage in cyber sex. They equate my confidence with sexual aggression, so many times they steer the conversation that I initiated in a direction I did not intend for it to take. Thank God for the "block user" option!

Fortunately, there are those guys out there that appreciate being contacted first and are able to carry on a "normal" conversation. Although they are a very select few, they are out there!

I dunno. I'd rather they wouldn't. Sorry but, most of the time I'm not interested.

Why change the roles? I like it this way. =)

As a represetetive in the 20ish year old group, its a womans job to chase us. Cause, if we try to talk to women first, they won't be interested.women at that age want a challenge and never like sincer men. They just aren't mature at that age. Maybe i am just too mature for women?

As a representative in the 30ish yr old group, I'd say no. They just aren't finding you attractive.

^^^I used to think like that. Funny thing is that I think I've always been a reasonably attractive guy, but I just needed to get my social skills in order.

I talk to people out in public all the time, especially in lines waiting. Do I ask them out? No but I start conversations.

Actually, in my experience, they hate the money at first. It's all in the way I carry myself.. calm, cool, collected, intellect. That's really all you need to display confidence.

Most of my "dating" life consists of me approaching first. Yes men approach me but they might as well not bother, they're never my type...they're almost always arrogant. Ick.

You bet your azz I approach men who I think are cute! Doesn't happen often, so when it does I don't take it for granted!

That means that you take care of yourself and actually have a life already before you date someone. Now that's hot. I could send you home and not worry if you can entertain yourself when I'm not around. That's rare.

And uglybetty is a true example of women. Very picky with looks and money.

Looks..not generally, but to me personally he's gotta be attractive. Much like eveyone else out there looks for, male or female.

I could care less if a man has money because it doesn't have anything to do with me. I have my own money, so that's not an issue for me. What do I care what he has?

The only issue I would ever have is a guy who costs me money. In my experience, men with a lot of money think they can buy everything and everyone with it - and expect you to worship them for it. I don't like any sort of control, so buh bye!

Your only real option here as I see it is to start a bunch of random conversations out in the world. You don't have to pick girls who you find attractive; or girls at all although this seems to be your weak point. Just anywhere you go talk. Talk to the people in line at the grocery, then talk to the cashier. Start small conversations anywhere you go about anything that you can come up with. The colour scheme of the movie theatre, the smell of gas at the pump, ANYTHING. Just becoming confident in talking anywhere anytime will have a HUGE impact on you when you find yourself in a situation where you [u]want[/u] to start talking to someone. Even if she blows you off right away or doesn't respond (which you almost NEVER see) you get the experience of having tried. Next time it will be easier because you have done it before.

I'll never understand why women are into this confidence stuff. I always think looks were #1

You got the reading list I e-mailed you last night. Seriously, dude, read those books then get out there and start meeting people.
