When someone compliments me - i'm flattered and do not presume they are hitting on me and judge whether or not i'm interested, but simply accept the compliment for what it is and am appreciative for their generous spirit.
It is amazing how much better your own life can be if you simply show random acts of kindness to others... not to mention make the world a better place.

Everyone is a stranger until you meet them.
I've been approached by men I've never met before, asking for dates, at the beach, on the street, on public transport, in a shop, at class and of course in bars and pubs. I think it's great and more men should try their luck more often!

All I can say is thank God for online dating. I have been divorced for 3-1/2 years now and have only had one date that was not generated online and that was a fix up date by a client of mine. I don't know why, but I almost never get approached either. The only two times were once when out for drinks with my grown daughter. The bartender was hitting on me, and he was closer to my daughter's age than mine. My daughter and I got a kick out of that. The only other interest was also by a much younger man at a laundromat who would have been good looking if he hadn't been missing a large amount of teeth.

I just recently joined some Meetup social and hiking groups and may meet someone at an event this way, but who knows. I was in a situation twice in a row where I met another nice lady and we hit it off and then the two of us were approached by a very nice gentleman who conversed with us and eventually it became obvious that he was interested in the my new friend and not me.
Gee, no guy, twice, but at least I met a new girlfriend!

So, one date in 3 1/2 years not generated online. I don't like those odds!!!!

My ex and I met when we were next door neighbors in our apartment complex, but that was 14 years ago now.
No one asks you out? Wow! Judging by your picture I would think your calendar would be filled every moment of the day!

I would take you out if you would come to Canada!

I had a crush on a woman that worked at a Lowe's store, I finallly got the guts up and asked her out, turns out she was wearing her engagement ring but was very flattered that I had come there just to ask her out.

Never know till you try right?
