Ladies, in all seriousness, do you like being approached randomly by guys? If not, how should men know if you’re interested, specifically when walking around campus or in a study area.

i like it when they’re attractive and kind. i’m still flattered even if they’re not attractive but it makes me uncomfortable to have to turn someone down

I like it!! even if i’m not interested it’s an ego boost and as long as they aren’t pushy.

I don’t like it because I’m not interested in going out with someone unless I already know and trust them, plus my attraction is based on personality not just appearance. I would never say yes to a stranger asking me out

just acknowledge the first few times but looking there way if they make eye contact the first 3 times you see them they might be interested the 4th time say hey and if they respond start a conversation

Would you rather a guy friend ask you out? I feel like a lot of women don’t have a ton of male friends.

What would you consider pushy? Like what should a guy say when he approaches you and how should he get your attention?

What would be best for a guy to say to not come on too strong? I can handle rejection for sure but I’m just not sure what I should say.

Doesn’t have to be a friend, could just be an acquaintance that I share classes/clubs with or only talk to at larger friend gatherings etc. I just can’t be attracted enough to strangers to feel comfortable going out with them

Ok good to know. I’m seeing a split between girls wanting to be approached and not.

a compliment is always a good way to start!! for me pushy is if i say no once and they don’t stop trying. i think being brave enough to put yourself out there and approach someone like that is attractive and it really works
