I'm a 32 year old man andI don't mind women coming up to say hello, but I wouldn't take it any further. It makes me think they are too desperate because they are actually trying to meetme. I prefer to meet someone naturally. So this advice wouldn't workon me, sorry girls. Also, once again it is dissapointing to see the money/rich thing mentioned in the ideal description part, this is quite a turnoff for men. It doesn't seem like women are genuine when they talk about money and it would be nice if a woman liked us for us and not our money.
Huh?
Naturally? How could a woman introducing herself to you not be natural?
Let's say there is only one bar stool left at your favorite hangout, would you be turned off if you end up sitting next to a woman and she says "hello, my name is..." first?
I'm just really confused by this because I'm such an outgoing person and saying hello and introducing yourself to people seems polite.

My favorite chapter in my new book, Confessions of a Single Woman, is called The Chase. And trust me, after much reading, research, and personal experience, I never chase a man. If he really wants you he will move heaven and earth to get you
Totally agree. I too have chased too many a man.
But where does expressing your interest end and chasing begin?
