Search Results: men approaching women

So I've seen some videos on social media of women fearfully lamenting that men don't approach them, that men these days don't approach women enough, and that feminism has scared them off and ruined dating.

Now, this is the internet, so I know that most of it is either fake or sensational outliers, but I want to know the truth. Is it for real?

Would you want men to approach you? Not just your crushes (this is no fairy tale). It means most guys who approach you are average joes, some are some busted ones, and then you get the occasional charming guy who makes your heart skip a beat. Would you take the deal or leave it?

I would love to hear you share your thoughts in an opinion below!

I had this funny situation come up today, where a woman recognized me in a coffee shop I was sitting in. She came up to say hi and we chatted for a couple minutes before I needed to return to my work. We had a conversation before a month or so ago and we’d gotten on pretty well.

I decided to ask for her number before I left and she shot me down. She had this surprised look on her face and told me she has a fiancé. Apparently she was sitting right beside him at the moment.

Well, he looked as oblivious as she looked surprised. So, obviously the answer I got was no, but given that reaction, I have to wonder if I just caught her off guard and she froze up. I’ve noticed that a lot of women se caught off guard when I make approaches.

Is it just me or do women not expect to be approached?
