Best way to approach men
I get emails all the time from single women who are tired of sitting by waiting to get approached. It seems that more single women are becoming comfortable with making that first move.
There can be an art form to the cold approach …for men. Ladies may need a little help in this department, though. We aren’t built for rejection. Our egos don’t like it..at ALL. So what is the best way to approach men? A lot of guys I’ve talked to said they like the subtle, confident approach. For instance, have a legitimate question for them or asking their opinion on something.
I always wonder if the guy can tell when a woman approaches him to flirt with him, though. Do most men know when a woman is giving him signs of interest?
Ladies, what is your best approach tactic for men you find too good to bypass?
I would love to know the most creative way a woman has approached a man – what did she do? What did she say? What did you think when she first spoke to you?
If a woman approaches a man first, is she at risk for appearing to overbearing?

ITL – you’ve got a producer’s eye. lol. can you see it? we’re all thinking obama is running things only to find out it was a dream sequence (for some of us) and a nightmare (for others). everybody wakes up and realization slowly sets in.

But when we wake up, who will be president? Bush? Clinton? Reagan?? How long have we been “glamoured” as they say on True Blood?

ITL – come on. it’s too soon for an unveiling of the president. we have to let things run amuck for awhile. the folks who thought they got cash for clunkers will go outside and still have clunkers.

People who don’t drive can still go to the DMV and get a photo ID. No biggie. If someone wants to vote, they can.
I agree that many people resent the President’s color. But, many more (moderates, middle-of-the-road types) resent his actions and inactions. It all depends on who Romney picks for VP, in my opinion. If not for the sex scandal, Herman Cain would be a pretty good choice. As it is, it seems pretty much up in the air.

Ummmm, any of you ever hear of this?
Someone in the news accused a cop of a racial slur. He called the man a Monday. That shows up in the urban dictionary as a sly way of calling somebody the N word. The officer got fined. Never heard this term.

Great article, thanks.. It’s hard everywhere and indeed us women aren’t built for rejection!:) I was hoping San Francisco might be an exception, but apparently Atlanta is no better. If you want to check out a few silly ways of approaching men in SF, maybe that will give you tips..! http://wonder-girls.org/2012/03/29/where-to-find-hot-non-gay-guys-san-francisco-part-1/

I had a good guy friend tell me recently that if a woman approaches a man at a club or bar, he knows she’s interested. She doesn’t have to really say or do anything specific. At that point, he knows that all he has to do is not screw it up. So I guess its all in the approach?
