If you think it\u2019s tough sitting on the sidelines with your girlfriends waiting for a guy to talk to you, then you aren\u2019t looking at the guy\u2019s situation. He has to walk over and make contact with you while you\u2019re surrounded by your girlfriends.<\/p>\n

\"girlfriends\"You have support – he\u2019s going it alone. If his approach works, he wins. If he fails, he has to endure the snickers of your girlfriends and walk back to the smart remarks by his guy friends.<\/p>\n

Every time he gets rejected, he relives that awful moment in junior high school when he was embarrassed at the school dance. It\u2019s a wonder guys even try. That\u2019s enough sympathy – women have their share of dating issues, too.<\/p>\n

The point is – what can you do as a female to be more approachable for the right kind of guys? Help them out a little. To begin with, you can start a conversation. Not a female version of a pickup line, but a real conversation.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re stuck in a long line at the grocery store, talk about what\u2019s around you. \u201cCan you believe how the price has gone up for a good steak?\u201d \u201c Before you buy that detergent, did you know that another good brand has a two for one sale?\u201d<\/p>\n

As simple as that sounds, it says, \u201cHey, I\u2019m willing to talk to you\u201d in a nice, non-threatening way. Admire his car at the gas station or his mountain bike at the park, but don\u2019t get personal about clothes or anything that screams \u201cpickup.\u201d<\/p>\n

By keeping the conversation neutral, you get the chance to find out if you\u2019re interested in taking it further. Even if a guy opens the door for you, instead of just mumbling \u201cthanks,\u201d look him in the eyes and say, \u201cThank you, I appreciate it when a guy opens doors for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s flattering, which immediately gets his attention and gives him a chance to join the conversation if he\u2019s interested – or say, \u201cYou\u2019re welcome\u201d and move on if he\u2019s not interested.<\/p>\n

Maybe this helps you start to think of places and situations where you could throw out a non-sexual opening line for a guy to follow and start a conversation. Since you spoke first in a gracious manner, he has some assurance that you\u2019re willing to talk, which makes it easier for him to follow your lead without feeling like he\u2019s being manipulated.<\/p>\n

Is this just manipulation? No, it\u2019s not – as long as you offer sincere comments and have an open mind about getting to know him. Can you start a conversation with a man on the street or in a restaurant without a reason?<\/p>\n

Yes, you can – no one is going to report you to the Manners Police. Think about where you are and what\u2019s going on around you. Starting a conversation with a man in a crowded bar on Friday night is likely to be interpreted differently than making small talk while you\u2019re in the same airport waiting area with him.<\/p>\n

\nStart by learning how to properly observe people so you can uncover their subtle nonverbal cues without drawing attention to yourself. Then, practice on your friends and family with practical advice to help you better read social gatherings and telltale signs of disagreement. Finally, dive deeper with real-life scenarios you’ll likely encounter, such as dating, job interviews, and workplace interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Place and time has a lot to do with whether you appear approachable and interesting or desperate. And if you aren\u2019t willing to strike up the conversation, at least be inviting for men who have to work up the nerve to talk to you first.<\/p>\n

Make sure your arms aren\u2019t folded in front of your chest or that you aren\u2019t rolling your eyes and scowling at everyone and everything around you. Be pleasant and smile and even if he\u2019s not your type, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be friendly to someone who took the time to try to get to know you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
