I like them to. I’ve approached before as well, but I’m not feeling the attitude guys have of never doing it now

Fair enough, just might make things go a bit slower I think people in general have just been afraid of social interaction in general the past ~5 years

Being antisocial is a trend right now but not everyone is, the people getting into relationships are usually just very social or at least part of some kind of tight knit community like a church or something

I understand wanting guys to be the one to ask you out but right now a lot of them are feeling hopeless too, they struggle with the same fears around asking people out as we do

I think a large set of it is confidence, they’re so scared of rejection but I’ve been rejected as well and jsut moved on.

Same like I’ve gotten hurt but I’m not trying to shut out the possibility. I try to go out more often and im out in public enough but I don’t get approached. I must not actually be as attractive or as good a person as people say

Yeah same. I don’t think it reflects u, it reflects other people. I just don’t get the people staring at me and from that I can gauge interest but they never come up with

I guess my point is that sometimes it might be good to do a bit of the work yourself, it will increase your chances of getting into a relationship greatly especially right now A lot of guys also get told that their personalities are perfect and they look good but that doesn’t guarantee someone is going to ask you out without getting to know you well, and even then sometimes the other person is just too afraid

From what I’ve seen in men’s spaces online, they’re pretty against asking out women in public these days due to most of them being told that they don’t want to be pursued as strangers in public You might have better luck by going to more social events

I mean I suppose so but also they did it first, there staring at me, I can show interest or not, then it would be their turn.

I mean everyone’s a stranger until they’re not lol. I do need more social events but there’s not many in my city. Even when I do go out, I mainly get approached
