Opportunity

How brave are you? Do you seize every chance you get at being happy? When you see the one you want, how likely are you to take the leap and throw yourself out there? If you hesitate, then why? And what devices do you use to overcome your hesitation? I use wingmen, liquor, and the mentality that I have nothing to lose. Really, its just one big gamble every time I go in, and I hate gambling. Do you guys have a more scientific method to approaching someone? I know for a fact that I can walk up to anyone and initiate a conversation. The problem is I go in with the mentality that they have no interest in me and that I'm probably going to fail ><.

You seem to know what to expect already. Get rid of that mindset about failing and hesitation. You win some and you lose some...don't worry about the small things and just meet people. Enjoy the random things in life. When you become interested then do what you got to do to show it. Just know the limits...cause I'm sure you don't want to come off as a harasser =P

I find that men who use liquor to get close to people are not to be trusted. o.o I feed off of hope. >:) That compels me to be straightforward with my motives upon seeing someone I'm attracted to.

Hey! The liquor is an inhibition remover, not a motive distorter. Being shy is a HUGE setback to meeting people on the random. I don't condone public drunkenness in the slightest. Obnoxious drunks are SOO annoying.

For the past year, I've been in a severe slump, so I don't have a real defined approach. I've tried so many different things, that nothing seems to work anymore. As for the liquor, I don't drink any until I get home after failing. Nothing like forgetting how badly you got rejected!

Mmm not sure, but the only mentality I have when trying to approach is, we dont know each other, so theres nothing for what I shouldnt try to talk with that person we are strangers, so there is nothing why to get embarrased, thats what I think when trying to approach to someone.

The most attractive trait by far is confidence. Thinking you have to "go after everyone" is not the right approach. Sure, there's a chance that two strangers might hit it off really well, but relationships are about making others happy, as well as yourself. This means that you should go about your day being as fucking awesome as you can. Don't act like you want someone to like you. Throw yourself out there and see if they pick up the bait. If you can't even do that, then you probably weren't attractive in the first place. (See where I'm going here?)If you show someone else a good time, you have a shot at a solid friendship that can turn into a lasting relationship. Win-Win for everyone involved, right?
