Women approaching men

mr_fegelien

Is it becoming more common or are men still expected to do it in regards to dating? I think in Ireland no one ever cold approaches as our society isn't set up that way. Most romantic interactions occur in the pub.

But even then, does the man have to make the first move?

Sorry about that

It depends on the age, a 22 year old African such as yourself would probably have a very different dating approach, to an Irish man in his 50's, posing online as a 22 year old African.

You would think in an increasingly equal society that wouldn't be the case anymore... But nope

I've been hit on by men and women on nights out and in the office so no, it's not always the drunk man doing the proposing.

I’m sure the boys of this site will be along crying about how the girl will have to make the first “move” as guys can no longer approach them on a night without it ending up in a criminal proceeding.

Which, of course, is nonsense. Unless you’re a creep.

I used to be approached by women all the time back in my single days. Being handsome and fit makes a big difference, I presume most of the users on this website are the repellent video game playing man children you see all over the internet, so it’s probably never happened to them.

Can I ask where? at the bus stop, supermarkets, pubs? Are you also tall or just good looking?

Perhaps both could make an equidistant approach to a neutral, predetermined point.

Never been approached by women - possibly due to wearing soiled underwear.

Don't forget Mr. Flash and most probably Mr. Spiceland.

I love an aul humble brag now and again and I don't really give a sh1t but I'm approach all the time, because I don't feel any

Richard Hillman

I'd probably freak out if a lady approached me. I would definitely be wary that she was trying to pick pocket me or I was on some hidden camera show.

You don't feel any - what?

I approach men, but very rarely these days - I've grown awful picky, it must be the age creeping up... and I do it very subtly, always have.

I like to be the person choosing ("Mmm I like this guy, let's give it a bit of a flirting effort here") instead of the person who is being chosen ("Oh this guy is trying it on...mmm, no I don't think I'll go there"), and one has to be proactive in that case.

I'd say you've seen it all before.

Ya, pretty much, and that comes from a lifetime spent in the 'dating' world, for better or worse, as opposed to safely ensconced in one or two long-term relationships over the years.
