Do women like being approached on the street?

Met my wife like this, was riding my bike, saw her, turned around and immediately drove into a bench and fell. I can still hear that first giggle. We are celebrating 12 years in December

Approach the right way = "don't be ugly"

How to approach someone in a charming way - Step 1:

Be physically attractive

this really sweet guy came up to me in oxford and told me i was pretty, and it made my year because no one had ever complimented me in that way before. wherever he is i hope he's having a great day :)))

Don’t be aggressive bro I shouldn’t feel like my life is on the line when I’m being approached and if I say no you’ll harass me for 3 blocks. That’s what she means by the right way.

[Burn]

Key word: THE RIGHT WAY. A ton of men don’t know how to do that/can’t read the room. Just be respectful and see where it goes from there. Obviously looks will play a part, but so will confidence and charisma. Be prepared that you could potentially meet up on someone rude, and also learn how to handle “no” and that it will be an option as well.

If your hitting on a girl then you find her attractive. So why should she accept if she dosn't find you attractive in return. No one is entittled to a date. Pretty privilege is a real thing.

If I had a dime for every woman that came up and approached me and asked me out I'd have my first dime.

It’s all in the approach and timing fellas. Presentation is key in almost anything you do

[gwen_st]

Why are dudes losing their shit over “ooh, so it's okay to approach someone if you're good looking?” I mean, DUH. You don't approach to not good looking strange women either, do you? Why would anyone want to randomly talk to an ugly stranger?

[Andreatuzze]

she says something really important. Sometimes it depends on the day, she doesn't reject you as a person, she just reject social interactions because sometimes you run out of social battery. So, don't take it personally

[jabbaweezy]

"he's kinda cute" was the only thing that mattered for that interaction to be successful.

[naiyang]

If the guy wasn’t “cute, ” it would be considered sexual harassment in current-day society.

I think a big problem is that the "right way to approach" is so wildly different for different people, that we don't know when it's the right way to approach. Some women will openly say that approaching them in a grocery store is weird and creepy and they just want to get their shopping done, not be hit on. But then another woman might say she met the love of her life in a grocery store and the guy took his shot in the produce section. There is never a one true "right approach" and that is what makes a lot of us hesitant.

It's fine to say that you just have to shoot your shot and fuck off if it doesn't pan out. It's not always the rejection that hurts. Sometimes it's knowing that you made them uncomfortable in a setting you thought was reasonable. So now you start questioning when is the right time to approach. Feels like it's never the right time to approach.

Yes. Sometimes u just dont want to talk to people. Valid response .

I’ve been approached “in the right way” quite a lot of times, by really nice guys, but I was always either in a relationship or married (with the same guy I was in a relationship)😄 So they were all kindly rejected. But I must say that I always admired their courage for coming up to talk to me, and even told them so. To some of them it was a challenging move, and it showed. So, if someone makes the effort to approach you because they think you’re special and don’t want to miss the chance to know you, I think we should be kind and compassionate. Just think how you’d like to be treated in that situation.
I’ve also been approached a few times in ways that didn’t feel good, and that’s when I’m blunt and cold. Men need to realise when they’re not approaching a woman properly and it’s us that (unfortunately) need to make them see that.

[theresaewere]

I met my husband in a video store when those existed. People need to be open to meeting their partners anywhere. As long as the person is respectful i think its fine. Not everyone needs to go to a club or date online to meet people

[snehalkrishnan]

Whenever I approach I don’t get this reaction so I choose to never approach. Getting rejected over and over again makes me depressed.

It's almost like if people took a no for an answer and respected women's personal space women wouldn't have to be so scared of being approached in public
