How Do You Do It?

I have a question for all of you. We all know that as we get older it is increasingly more difficult for men and women to meet and connect. When we were younger it was so easy to meet someone you liked and you guys hooked up. It was fun and easy and there were no expectations.

As we get older we start developing all this baggage that we carry around with us constantly. That baggage is a barrier that makes it difficult for others to break through and get close to us. When we do manage to get into a relationship we have so many expectations now then before.

With all that said, when you spot someone that you want to get to know how do you make that happen? For the ladies, do you sit back and wait for the guy to come to you? Do you send a drink his way? Do you walk up to him and start a conversation? If you do approach a guy what do you say as an opener? Men, do you approach the lady or do you wait for her to come to you? What is your opening line to get to know her?

It can be very scary tyring to approach someone out of the blue because you have no idea what this person will say or do and no one wants to get embarrassed or have their feelings hurt.

So tell me, what do you do when wanting to get to know someone? You can tell me, it'll be just between you and me.

As for me, I just walk up to the guy and say 'you are going to be mine' and drag him away by his hair but that's just my technique, it's not for everyone.

Girl, if it works to grab him by the hair and drag him away, you may need to write a book and teach others your techniques!!

Sheesh,Girl -this question is really taxing my pea brain! Been so darned long that I was out, in the marketplace, ya know, that I have no clue what lines or moves I might have made. Obviously though, since I am not involved with ANYONE nor have I been in many a moon, whatever moves or lines I may have utilized don't work very well so would be of no help to anyone else to try them then. Good luck and you're still young enough to be able to think of alternative actions to a reaction too.
Peace!

I walk up to him and say nothing. I just turn and walk away. Subtle sex appeal. Now, don't take my advice. It has only worked on one man...my husband:)

Ha, ha! Actually The Husband is the only man that I have ever asked out. I hounded him everyday for a month before he finally agreed to go out with me. I say, if you want it, go after it! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But then, I might be extremely extroverted!

My tried-and-true line I use when I meet a new lady:

"Hi there! Can I buy you a house?"

Ordinary Girl said...

My problem is not in the approach - which has always tended to veer between waiting to be approached and doing the approaching, depending on my mood - it's that I hardly ever see men that I fancy! Especially ones without wedding rings on.

“Thank God for Affairs”

Let’s talk about “old-fashioned values.” My understanding of these “values” include couples remaining together until death-do-us–part. One of the difficulties that follow the “’til-death-do-us–part” philosophy is that by definition, it places commitment above “happiness” as a definite aim or mandate of the relationship. I am not saying that individuals who pledge permanent commitment do not also plan or want to be happy. However, under this definition of a successful marriage, there could be a litany of behaviors that a member of the union participates in that irritates or even endangers their partner’s wellbeing. Yet, as long as they remain married, and none of the other vows are violated, they are technically fulfilling their charge to one another read more....http://franklove.net/blog-2/
