You know ma'am i liked a girl and i thought that i might had done bad wid her just by looking at her she might got scared wid me. So i went on her insta and i said sorry to her she was surprised why i was saying. But i said sorry if i did anything wrong. And she said did i have to tell something else so i said no. And after i never messaged her and now when we accidentally get met she avoid me as much she can. I don't know why i even told her that don't worry i am not a creep and i respect you and i know I don't have to mesaage you here.

I don't know what i did wrong?

Do you mean “blow it”?

In high school, there was a girl that I have a crush on that had a mole on her cheek. Are used to take my dog for walks in the afternoon after school and I just happen to pass by her house twice on those walks. One day I was walking by her house and she put up the window and said hi.. I replied with” Hi Jamie.”

Then she asked me “how did you know it was me”?

I replied with “I can see the mole on your face”.

I blew it.

she was popular

I wasn’

She made my life a living hell for the next few years

I'm currently interested in a guy who is very reserved. I don't know why, but I tend to be attracted to smart guys who are introverted. It heightens their cute factor, I guess. I strike up a conversation with them whenever I can, for whatever reason. I try to gain their attention by teasing them lol. It works though. They get intrigued and it is pretty genuine. I'm more standoffish if I like someone who is extroverted and popular. I had a bad habit of staring at guys I liked and they used to notice that I was staring at them. I've stopped doing that now, lol.

I haven't "shot my shot" with someone in AGES! Assuming they're single, and show some interest in me? Absolutely! I'm way more assertive in asking out guys compared to when I was younger and (stupidly) waited around for the guy to approach me.

Only problem is when I shoot my shot, the feeling is never mutual :|

He's usually already in a relationship, not interested, or just wants to be friends so... yeah, haha. That's why I'm wary on doing that now: I only do so if I can tell he's interested and not seeing anyone, and hope things work out in my favor.

I was shy and not assertive when I was younger but I learned to overcome that. More recently, I would go for it. . . but I am now engaged and my dating days are history.

Lliam · Answer

I would approach different girls differently. Sometimes I would watch them for a while as if intrigued and let their curiosity build if they were interested. Sometimes I would go right up and start chatting with them. It depended on the girl and the circumstances.

I acted fun and friendly, sometimes a bit mysterious, but never desperate. And not shy or stand offish. I went for it.

Anonymous · Answer

The guys I tend to be physically attracted to are usually very popular with girls, so I don’t give them the time of a day and they seem to find that intriguing and interesting. So they end up approaching me, I guess it creates an air of mystery, as to why the hell I don’t pay them any attention.

I act nicer to men I find interesting but not particularly attractive.

Sparkie460 · Answer

When I was dating years ago I always asked women out that I was attracted to. My dad always taught me "you snooze, you lose ". If you want something bad enough you have to go after it, it won't come to you.

iron_ninjs · Answer

I'm a little bit of an idiot when it comes te reading signals, but if I like a girl, I shoot my shot. Also, if a girl likes me, I'd never turn her down on the spot, especially if there's a lot of familiar people around.

Bachorellete25 · Answer

In a relationship now so no longer applies to me but I was not shy when I was single and would shoot my shot

Oddquestiona96 · Answer

No longer on the dating market but I believe in shooting ur shot. I always encourage my single guys friends to try. As a guy u may get rejected a bit but u miss opportunities if u dint try and girls really like guys with confidence I'm general. I used to always shoot my shot

DenizLikesTennis · Answer

It depends on the situation but I love starting a conversation with anyone and see where it goes. Sometimes it happens differently

Meropatrick · Answer

I am very good at handeling rejection. I heard of people really being hurt by it, but i think i have a gift by not caring about it much. when i like someone i tell them. And i see if they reciprocate so I can move to the next step. I flirt a lot.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Yes, I go for it. Once I make up my mind, there is nothing stopping me.

Paulychicagoluv · Answer

We talking about in real life, or on here or something similar to this?

provokeesmokee · Answer

I try. It's hard though, lol. I gay panic a lot.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I'd start off being conservative and slowly "move in for the kill" as things develop.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I normally shoot, score, but regret it... like damn, if i would’ve just dribbled a little longer and dodged a few of these hoes, then maybe I could’ve hanged on the rim instead of playing above it

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Why the hell would anyone get standoffish? I typically shoot my shot.

Mansearching · Answer

I did. We've been together for 12yrs in a week.

OnlyMeee · Answer

I'm married, but if I wasn't, I'm very shy when it comes to meeting new people. I think I understood the question correctly 🤔

Bricealan · Answer

Always been to much of a 'stand back and wait' person and had to be approached by a girl and be told she was interested. Not productive as you might imagine.

Coden7 · Answer

I’ll make a couples attempts if I think she’s interested. But I’m not going to participate in any games, so if any start I just walk away and see if she comes back.

I've asked over several women in person (not all at once) and been turned down each time. Pre-covid I was on Tinder and Bumble and well I did go on several dates with a few different women most were trainwrecks.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah this post makes me angry because it's a reminder that men for all time have had to be the ones to fire the first shot or be the ones to ask the woman out

No. I don't even like the term "shoot your shot". I would never with a woman who used that term. That's a clear red flag.
