Why aren’t more women approaching men?
I hope your weekend was wonderful and fun! I was in the Big Easy hanging out and mingling with cool people. I saw a lot of interesting things this weekend while hanging out in New Orleans. I love the energy of the city and the people are so much fun.
I noticed that women seem to approach men a lot more than in Atlanta! I have to say there were a couple of guys that caught my eye and approaching them didn’t seem like a bad idea. What is it about going to a different city and meeting people that seems easier than at home?
When men get approached by women, it seems to be a huge ego boost and I believe it is rare when a guy flat out turns her down. I am sure it happens but once a lady gives an inkling that she is interested, she opens the door for the man to reciprocate interest.
What is the best way to approach a guy, though? I have seen some women come on way too strong and when they sense the guy is turned off, they keep pursuing. Are women slow to notice that a man isn’t really feeling her?
Guys when you are approached by a woman, do you know right away? What happens when you decide that she isn’t your type? How do you let her down?
I think women are always encouraged to ask guys out or at least approach men more, but it seems that many of us prefer to let the men make the first move. Do you think this will ever change? If we are modern women who abandon a lot of the traditional courting, should we get used to approaching men?
Ladies, what are your fears about approaching men? What is the worst that can happen?

okay let me clarify: texting about nothing and calling about nothing is the lamest way to initiate a booty call. not that I partake in booty calls (I prefer long term relationships that have substance) but if I were to partake , I would prefer a man not a preschooler like some of these dudes be acting and to come with it! Dude: Look I’m trying to hook up- you down? I’m attracted to the simplistic

speakin of that’s what’s up…..
few weeks ago my babygirl, who’s only 13, came outside while I was chillin, and said, Da( that’s how she pronounces it!) I know what kinda car I want…I said, mama, you’re only 13, how do you know what kinda car you want? You’ll change your mind a million times before you turn 16…she said, no Da, I’m serious…I know what kind…I said, yeah? she said yep! I said, well, baby, if you already know what kind you want, then you know Daddy gon’ get it for you!!! She said, for real??? I mean excited like it was about to happen right then…she had this big ol smile on her face, and gave me a huge hug!
my point is, my babygirl displayed the faith we oughta have…you know that mustard seed and all…cause she was genuinely excited about her car…cause she knows if Daddy said it’s gon happen, it’s gon happen….

So since my wife has been gone I have been watching shows that I do not normally view. I have been watching the ones on repossessing cars. If a car is in your garage they can’t come in their and repossess it?
