What do women really look for in men?

So that is my question today.And please guys no sexist remarks. Im in a bar somewhere suppose and there is a girl across from me that i really find attractive. This is a nice establishment and not some sleasy downmarket place either! Im looking at this attractive girl ok,and hoping she will make eye contact with me. This eventually she does but by this time a female freind of hers has joined her(plutonic girlfreind i mean).I can see that she gave me a little smile but then went back to chatting with her freind.So im thinking to myself that id really like to go over to her table and introduce myself.But drat!she is now with her mate and even when she wasnt she didnt seem to notice me.Plus im shy and am scared of that dreaded possible rejection of my overtures.And even if i could get over that what could i possibly talk about when her freinds at the table as well? So here i am with these things in my head and as i stay constipated almost with these feelings of selfdoubt her freind,i notice,has risen from the table and is about to leave.On her own! Now the lady is as i first saw her and as im with this realisation i notice her actually looking my way this time. I though have been overcome by great shyness and dont now take my chance of interacting with her! I am thinking however why cant she make the first move in this merry dance thats called dating,or attempted in my case. As this runs freely around my head the said girl has got up from her table and is readying to leave.Still alone! As she walks to the door of the bar/restraunt she glances at me and smiles slightly again.Then she has gone. Leaving me thinking oh why oh why didnt i just take that chance at the beginning when i could? And also why is it always us guys who have to make the first move?obviously i think this for my own selfish reasons. Nevertheless whilst im convoluting to myself about all this i cant help but remember that im still bloody single and the reasons why are imprinted on my imagination for all,i think,to see. Being single can be crap!
