I met someone on New Years eve and was shocked. It was the first time I have organically met someone I like in real life and not online in a very long time.
I had a guy in K-Mart last summer make conversation with me while we waited in line. Attractive, my age, and specifically started a convo with me. He even took his time putting his receipt away like he was waiting for me to get done checking out, but then he left.
I felt like I was being punk'd. It's so odd for that to happen anymore. Now every time I go in there I look for my mystery man.
I know. I've had that happen as well...like, wow this is going so well. He's so cute. K, bye.
that's because there is a big jump between small talk in a check-out line to something further.
what would you wanted for him to say?
Nothing. I agree with you. I have no expectations ever.0 -

Yes, yes it is. Now I'm older, wiser and have no one to take advantage of my corruption.
That just means you need to corrupt someone.

Short answer, if he likes you, he will ask you or stalk you.

Same for girls for me. I only do IG and it's public so nothing interesting there. Well, unless you like cooking, drinks, home improvements, a boatload of tennis stuff, and the ramblings of a middle-aged guy.

I always just make eye contact, then if possible, go up to her and say something directly complimenting her, like "you're cute.......... I saw you walking by and just wanted to......."
Either gets a really negative reaction right away, "I have a boyfriend" or it goes really positive. Then talk for 5 minutes, get number there. I had to work on this confidence though. I Moved multiple times to new cities where i knew no one. I Was (still am) young so I had to find dates other ways besides social groups. I practiced a lot. For about 4 months, one whole summer, I hit on 5 girls every day. No exceptions. Had to go to the next town over because the hot girls remembered me haha. Some I had approached 3 times .0 -
I'm not young - I'm from the days when people actually did ask for numbers. But I must be kinda scary I guess, because I've never had a guy ask me for my phone number in my whole life. My husband got mine from my friend. 0

You're adorable
haha. It's not adorable when I stutter like that. It's nerves or something I guess, but it's the main reason I don't approach anyone. I can feel the nerves/stutter coming on before I even open my mouth. It's bad lol.0 -
