Do you feel comfortable approaching girls you find attractive for their number? If not why, and please serious answers only I’m very curious.

Not at all. I’m quite anxious about rejection. The worst that could happen isn’t just them saying “no” — my best friend had a woman call him ugly for asking. Women can show lots of disgust in their response. Respectful people are very rare. So I don’t ask. It is the duty of a girl to show clear green lights to be asked out

Nope, I always feel like the bottom guy in this meme, and would rather not deal with those consequences of someone saying I harassed them.

Not necessarily comfortable considering it’s always nerve wracking, but you don’t have to overthink it. Quick and simple, in and out, don’t try to drag the conversation on. “Hey how’s it going, I’m ___, just wanted to say I think you’re really pretty and I was wondering if I could get your number”

No, I need to get to know ppl and their background before l'd ask for their number, being physically attracted to them isn't exactly enough quality data to make a decision off of

Statistics say that the top 20% of men have sex with 80% of women. I know am not in the top 20% of men. I have a great personality, I'm rich AF, I have jokes that will leave you with bruised ribs, but can't make it past the window shopping phase cuz I'm fat, and all the apps suck. So at what point does fighting for attention begin to feel like screaming into the void. If a woman wants me she can come and find me.

My gf super nervous. I was a total geek in highschool. Thought it smoothly do it by inviting her to a minecraft server (she joined) then went hey if you wanna talk while we play heres my discord (she accepted the friend req) then went if you have any questions heres my number (you can point and laugh… but where is your gf)

Absolutely not. I’m nowhere near attractive enough for that. Plus there’s no chance anyone I find attractive is gonna be single.

Most guys aren’t comfortable making an approach. The biggest growing reason is the fear of rejection and bc of it you get guys not being able to be themselves enough to properly lead the conversation into something more

I actually do occasionally ask girls I think are attractive for their number (as well as other people who I just want to be their friend) but the success rate of them actually texting is next to none sadly, am still keeping an eye out for the one girl I can finally fall for though

No, definitely not. I’m pretty sure 99% of women are way out of my league. I’m also aware that I am definitely not what a lot of women are looking for in a man

No. But I usually try to get over it and do it anyway. Whether I do usually depends on whether I can think of anything to make small talk about in that moment

No bc I don’t want to be embarrassed, I’ve seen too many people get clowned for asking someone out in person and I always have a fear that I’ll be next.

Yea maybe I worded that wrong but a lot of men seem to have some deep rooted fears of approaching women. it’s normal that it’s uncomfortable.

It can be terrifying, there’s the fear of rejection or public humiliation which are perfectly normal. But you just gotta get up and send it

I agree and to your first response yes that’s all it takes. Some people definitely over think it and that’s the issue I believe to be a leading cause.

Same here. I’ve been through the “too scared to ask” phase and the “ask her YOLO” phase and it’s simply not worth it. The chances of her actually texting me are like less than 5%. She’s more likely to get upset and uncomfortable while pretending to be happy

I am talking about a real person and we talk every day, she’s just lowkey autistic and loves watching nerdy tv shows. The reason we stopped dating is because she is a lesbian idk alright? People exist. I don’t know what to tell you. My step sister graduated college as a nurse without ever having a boyfriend. She might have gotten freaky without anyone knowing it, sure. But seriously
