The best way for a guy you don't know to engage your attention is to... (43)
Simply approach me and introduce yourself. There may not be any attraction or there might be. Best to find out first hand.

Eye contact!!....I cant help it but thats what I do ,lol
------ This poll is Archived ------
I find that a lot of women won't make eye contact, for some reason or another. I find afterward, sometimes they actually were attracted to me, but essentially shut down all signals/opportunities.
So, where do you go when this happens?[/quote
EYE CONTACT AND SMILE OFCOURSE...I DO MAKE EYE CONTACT...ITS FROM THERE I CAN EXPRESS AND SHOW WHAT I FEEL...WHAT I FEEL REFLECTS ON MY EYES SO IF I DONT WANT TO BE READ I WONT MAKE EYE CONTACT...

The best way for a guy I don't know to engage my attention is that he is actually looking at me and not every other woman walking by. Like really guys; get some class.

I'm a bit insecure, so when a guy just makes eye contact or smiles, I usually think he's just being nice or he's just looking and not all that interested or already taken. So in that case a direct approach and an introduction would help the other person know that you are definitely interested.

Exactly! Men, we are just as scared of you as you are of us
I've had men from my past approach me and say "I had such a crush on you"....Had they only taken the initative and asked me out, I may have gone. I had no idea. ------ This poll is Archived ------

Seems you might have been reading the signals wrong.
When a woman looks away and down, she is very attracted to you.
It is a come-on sign in body language.
The more times she does it, the more attracted she is.

i think eye contact is a good start.
men over here often send a round of drinks over-and never make contact-i cant understand this!
after the eye contact,a simple approach and my name is...how are you?would be a start.

well if someone smiles and make eye contact it dosent always mean they are interested in you romantically or personally, sooooo I MUCH prefer them approaching me saying Hi starting a casual conversation and if that goes well introducing themseleves, Ive had it happen a few times and you KNOW where you stand without wondering hmmmmmm he is looking is he interested or just being friendly, so yeah approach I would never be rude, and if Im NOT interested I would politely let you know if you ask me to have a coffee with you, and if I AM then, we will be having a coffee and thats that 
wouldnt mind that happening soon.......

I've never been good at the initial contact part of dating. Guess this is why I don't go to places where you can meet ladies.

This is an excerpt from this page....
"If you can see someone looking at you from across the room look for other signs of interest. A person may gaze at you, look away, and then return their gaze to you again. They will probably have a slight smile on their face. If you turn and catch the gaze, and they smile or even blush and look down, you have caught their interest. "

If you are out at a club or bar most women who have an initial attraction for you WILL make eye contact.
I find that returning the eye contact along with a smile until she looks away is a sure fire signal of an attraction (but don't stare)
I then look to approach her within minutes and make some kind of small talk, although this does need to be intelligent or humourous, not creepy or plain stupid talk...... Humour always works, gets you chatting and away you go.
After chatting for a while you will know whether the attraction is mutual and can continue for the evening, but don't be dissappointed if she makes her excuses and leaves.
If she does, ask if you can continue the chat another time and get her number as this is part of the "game"
If you get her number then it's game on..... no number, then move on...... no harm done in chatting.

I must admit, I do this all the time. My sister said I need to be more of a flirt. I find it hard to do this when I'm out and about. If I'm at a party, I don't have a problem because I have more time to think of an approach. Sometimes in passing, you don't have a chance to see their ring finger, and married men tend to get really uncomfortable if you show interest. Their wives don't appreciate it very much either. That is why I try not to make eye contact until I find out if they are married or not.

Hey, wow, thanks everyone!
Great input here, and a pretty important matter in the date-o-sphere.
First, let me say two things:
1) This questions was directed towards women, and I'm really surprised at the amount of men who gave an answer! lol
2) It is clearly (even when including the men) an overwhelming majority who prefer that a man simply just walk up, and introduce himself! Crazy, isn't it? The simplest thing! This begs a follow-up poll!
Again, thanks again so much to everyone for their input. :)

Simply approach me and introduce himself.It's obvious that men don't read minds and will only find out if I'm interested or not is to approach me.I'm not that hard of a woman to get along with.If I don't like him I'll look him straight in the eyes and tell him.
