I'd say go for what you want, regardless of gender.
Waiting back and "hoping someone approaches" or "gets your signals" or whatever is lame, insecure, and reeks of a fragile ego.
Made that same mistake in college. Missed out on a girl I vibed with because I was too shy to pull the trigger.
Married with kids now.
Never. Again.
If I see a female I'm interested in and she gives me signals of interest, I'll chat her up. I'll take rejection over "what if?" any day.
Yes, rejection sucks, but for God's sake, get over yourself.
Fellas, women aren't gonna all of a sudden switch the role up and flock to you in droves. Talk to her. At best, you might find your future wife. At worst, you know where you stand with this
particular girl.
Or y'all become friends and she hooks you up with her friends.
Ladies, its 2015. This is part of that "equality" y'all fought for. Open your mouth and talk to him. Not "send signals." Not "throw hints." Not "be subtle." Go up to him, say hi and introduce yourself. He may be your future man. And if you get rejected, like 95% of guys will smile and say this:
"I'm flattered, but I'm not interested/have a gf/wife/etc."
That's it.
Few men will drop Weapons-grade ether on your soul to let you know we're not interested. Most guys have had that happen to them and have enough empathy to let you down gently."
And you never know who has that connect for something. A new job, help with your credit, someone willing to give you something you need while taking it off their hands... You never know.
But let me ask y'all, Coli Brehs and Brehettes...
If someone offered you 2 grand
per person to hit on someone you were interested in for the next month... And you
don't take it... you have no right to complain about what falls (or doesn't fall) into your lap. And if you do take it... What's stopping you now? Incentive? Finding someone to share a part of your life with isn't good enough?
Be too scared to talk to the possible woman/man of your dreams, Brehs and Brehettes.
