I've been going to places and events for years alone and never once have I been approached or asked out. I have zero issues talking to people, or starting up conversations...but I guess I'm just not considered relationship material.

[quote=Ruth4Truth;33527764]I had an aunt who was gorgeous. She dressed beautifully, very elegant. She was widowed. The only way she could get dates was by asking the guys out, and she did so without any qualms at all. She liked to attend social events and concerts, and she wasn't the type to go alone, so she'd ask guys from her country club, or wherever. No one ever turned her down. To the contrary, they were happy to escort her. And she loved having the company. She wasn't looking for an LTR, just an enjoyable evening.


Note to self....

I'm willing to bed dollars to doughnuts that you'll either hear or get the feeling of this guy has never been approached by a woman before, with the facial expressions they have on there face or the way they speak.

I can tell you that the last time I was approached by a woman was never.

He needs a hug and a good laugh.

Social experiments are awesome.

I think the OP will have much more success than she realizes though. As long as she isn't always hitting on the hottest guy in the room (those guys can be jerks) I bet she gets more numbers than she knows what to do with.

Curious to read the results.
