Search Results: ways for girls to approach guys

So I am a very smart girl. Like 4.0, honors college kinda girl. I was raised in a family that if you don't speak up you won't be heard, so I don't cower to anyone. I have a strong sense of character and always say what I feel is right even if there are "consequences" for my actions (like not being favorable to the person who wants to do what I consider isn't right). I am super competitive and have a want to continue to better myself. I have my life for the next 8 years planned out and have already made steps as an 18-year-old college student to make sure I can follow that path. I've had internships in the career I want to go into, am working a job in the career I am pursuing currently as I take 17 hours ( not including the 2 labs I am taking this semester), as well as holding a Vice-President position for a club we are starting up at my university. Where I am from people have told me that if I want a man I need to "make him feel like it" but if I have to help you "feel like a man" are you really one? My personality is very outgoing and I am not super good at picking up body language signals for when I overstep boundaries. With this being said I always ask for verbal consent to continue conversations that may push those boundaries and have only had a problem with this method once when someone wasn't being honest about how comfortable they were so I apologized. My friends say that I am not the one with the problem and that I just haven't found the "right guy'' yet, but am I scary to approach? And if I am is there something I can do to lessen that?
by the way I am pretty with a pretty nice/avereage body. So I don't think its anything physical.

Well, guys, I'm giving you an opportunity to vent here. I know this is a common problem.
You, most often, have to do the approaching, if you want anything to happen in your life, romantic relationship-wise. So then you are on the receiving end of trying to figure out whether girls reciprocate interest or not.

Say you like someone. You tell them. They don't give you a clear idea of how they feel about you, or how they feel about your feelings towards them.

Think in these terms:

• How important is it for you to know this?
• How much time can/will you give them?
• Is it better having some contact with them, developing a friendship with them, or waiting to see if they will develop feelings for you... or would you always rather know immediately, cut your losses, and not spend more time waiting or hanging out with them?
• When is it worth the gamble, and when is it just annoying and a waste of time?
• Do you always feel one way, that it falls one way, typically, or is each situation different/unique?
• Will you ever be content with being just friends?
