If you were to be approached by a guy how would you want it to happen? I want to approach women but I either never can tell when they want to be approached or they never want to be approached.

Honestly just go off body language and if someone is on their phone, giving one word response leave them alone. If someone has headphones in…. Please for the love of god. But again, as this has been a status multiple times. EVERYONE is different. Shoot your shot, expect nothing.

Not when I have headphones in or doing something like shopping, or trying to hang out with friends, honestly none of that is a huge deal though as long as they’re able to handle a rejection

If you’re making a lot of eye contact (3+ times), seem to be around the same level of attractiveness, and they aren’t sucked into their phone/laptop/workout or whatever, just go for it. Be kind, compliment her, state your purpose for talking to her without beating around the bush. Ask for the number not snap/insta. And esp if you’re rejected, be graceful about it. She’ll be flattered and you’d prob make her day even if she isn’t initially into you. And that’s okay, there will be another for you.

I’d say I am, I mean it makes me sad but I don’t make it the other person’s problem

No, no. Listen, just read the room and the body language. For me? I like boldness and being direct with a sprinkle of confidence. I like those things because I am those things. You just have to keep in mind you’re not everyone’s cup of tea and just keep trying.

Yeah that’s normal, as long as you’re able to take no for an answer and keep moving that’s totally fine

So look for signals that they would want to be approached?

Again, no. Look at the signals being given to you based on your interaction with them.

Then how do I get to the point to be able to look for the signals based off of our interaction?

You should be looking the whole time, there is no point to get to. A: Where are you? (Ex. Gym, library, bus stop, grocery store museum etc) B.: Are they alone or engaging with others? (If you approach one, be prepared to speak to all) C: How did the interaction go? Was it short responses with a body turned away from you? Or was it with additional words opening up for you to say something next with body language turned towards you? D: Opportunity to extend number or socials.

Im sorry if I’m being dumb, I’m just confused. How do I know when they want to be approached? I just don’t want to inconvenience them.

Approach and use the tactics I’ve listed above. Navigate through them.

You can’t know for certain, that is a risk you take. If someone doesn’t want to be approached they’ll just reject you or ignore you and you can move on People inconvenience each other all the time even when it’s not meant to happen
