Speaking to someone you're attracted to can be difficult for a multitude of reasons. Fear of rejection, fear of making a fool of yourself etc etc. Even simply a case of just being shy. In fact most of the reasons really boil down to being fairly trivial, but all real nonetheless. I've always been a shy reserved type who struggled with this kind of thing, but for some reason people tell me otherwise.

I think if the stigma of the guy (generally) having to lay the groundwork, it would be made a bit easier to be 'out there'.

I get that, they just said lady folk in general so I thought it was all women, not just ones they found attractive.

I've never had a problem hitting on guys that I like but sometimes it seems to be a bit of a turn off for men, so it goes both ways.

I think it's a fine line between hitting on guys. I can't see any reason why a guy would not want to be hit on unless it was in a full on slutty way in a club. Coming up to a guy and chatting to them should work every time (assuming they're interested of course).

Some of my guy friends have told me that they think it's the "man's job" to do the "chasing". Didn't stop me from hitting on HBF though! I guess the way I see it is that the worst they can do is tell me they're not interested. It's not like I'll die or anything. What is there to lose?

Found your problem right there Sublime. If you just stayed in the moment rather than going off to read you would be a much better chance!! :)

Nah, books are much more interesting than boring old girls!

Helps to keep myself pure and cootie free since '83!

(Well actually its 82, but that doesn't have the same ring to it now, does it?)

That was how I used to look at it as well. The worst they could say is no.
I remember one night out I went up to talk to a young lady - straight away she said she wasn't interested. I said no worries, have a good night. Turned around, literally walked about 2 metres and started to talk to someone else.

Used to go for the old quantity over quality hey? ;) Glad you've switched that around now!
