I just wish the real world was this easy
Let's cut the bullshit. Anyone can click their mouse on a default pick up line. But why can't guys step up and make a move in the real world? Is it something I'm doing?
I'm totally easy going, I know how to talk and interact, and I am not even remotely clingy or crazy or desperate.
But is it too much to ask for a guy to step up and prove they're not like all the rest?

That may be a valid statement, but lets face some other aspects of the intriguing men-women encounters...Why women always have a plan and men don't?
Perhaps when a men steps up is never good enough to accommodate your preconceived planes and targets, you have already set in motion.

Well,
I can tell you a couple of things that I have found when I was in Colorado. All of my friends that were women used to travel in packs... They would never go out unless there were 4 or 5 of them. I know that for me this can be very tough to tackle. It can be hard enough (without liquid courage) to walk up to a good looking woman... start a good conversation... and hope that she likes you. But, with 5 good looking women that are all in a conversation for one guy to walk up and make a move that is really tough... think about that maybe. That and from what I can see in your photo you are a really good looking girl and that can make it even worse (sorry to say) but depending on where you are who you are with and your body language you may look unapproachable. Since I have left the States I have found it much easier to talk to women because they dont huddle in groups like the women that I used to know in the States... Oh one other thing too that me and my friends always talk about is the look. If you are interested in him make eye contact a few times just to show him that you are looking at him and not around him. We talk a lot about how it is bad taste to walk up to a woman blindly and start talking but if they have given us eye contact or a smile then we know that its good to go and talk.
hope that helps and good luck. oh and as far as the clicking on the pre-writen text... isn't that just as lame as not making a move in realy life... how lazy are these people getting!

no i didnt even look at yer profile i have been on this site since july lots and lots of scam women <<prob not real womenanyway >> and lots of women that piss and moan << oh i want somebody i need love, where are you...lonley. on and on and on. >> these women have a fat credit card and they sit and stare at this site like it is the sears wishbook. aint goin to spend any money but like to look..and then this is not quite good his hair is too long he has a hard hat on <<me >> he is too old ,he is too young i dont like the things he writes , he must be a jerk. not all of us guys are the touchie feely half gay dudes that wouldnt say shit if there mouth was full of it<< think>> i am a man i am proud of it i have looked after my different familys over the lasy 40 yrs no one ever went to bed hungry or cold ir wet or beaten either case your wondering. this is my rant like it or hate it but pay attention this is not directed at one person its generic
I would walk up to you given the chance. I can't imagine guys don't. Do you avoid eye-contact? or. If you're never away from your girl friends, it can make it hard for a guy to feel confident. It seems like the expectations are higher if a girl is with her friends.

.....why dont you quit bitching, & define what it really means to you for a "guy to step up & prove he's not like the rest"?
This ought to be interesting......

I think it will work out for you, might require some more patience. You may have to sort through a lot of crappy guys, but do not assume that every guy that approaches you is bad. You or your friends may just run the right one off with your body language, or not have him approach you at all.
Another option: There is always the "Easy" button...Right?

I know where your comming from, its so easy to hide behind a screen.
an invincible barrier of wire and road.
Im sorry you have to suffer the indignity of modern living
they said the internet would make life easier.
but its just made the human species lazy and bold.
dating this way is so impersonal. and scocial skill's are fading away.
I bet you pray for a bloke to approch you with a smile and talk tender to you, and invite you for a coffee at the mall.
so he can chat and get to know you.
comunication is electronic and fake. and so is most male intent.
us older guy still know how to be romantic and I think thats why you want to try date an older guy.
I say good going, dare to be different and stick to it.
I hope you get swept of your feed hun. and romance'd
your coments aint bitchy but worthy of evey word
I dont think you could ever be desperate your a looker.
you could click your fingers and have boy's, men all over you.
but you have dignity.... and I for one am impressed.

Yes it is too much to ask! Most of us are like the rest so showing you anything different is like a temporary Illusion. You are young(younger than me) and guys change as you get older they learn, and some of us actually finally get it! The problem is with someone like you (young smart attractive) is guys think they have to be fake to impress you because the competition is so stiff. When you are able to meet a guy that you like (really like) try getting him alone and telling him that who he is-is ok! Most single guys are putting on a show to impress but very few can hold that image or persona for too long. Believe me the guy you are looking for is out there but it is just going to take a little work to find him or them.

I would say that by judging your picture that you are a very beautiful woman and maybe a guy is to afraid to come up to you and without getting the fear of rejection.
