Should a woman approach a man?

Question: I have always been told that if a man really wants you then he will come after you. So when I go out I don’t ever make the first move because I believe that’s a man’s job. Yet I have had some male friends tell me that this is the wrong way to think. That I should be more willing to make some effort if I see a guy I like and want him to talk to me. So which is it? Should a woman approach men or is that a man’s job.

Answer: A woman doesn’t necessarily have to approach a man but she should at least show the man she is interested. A smile, good eye contact, or even striking up casual conversation are all good things to do. Not to mention giving him a compliment so that he has a better idea that you are interested. After that it’s up to him to seal the deal by asking for your number or giving you his.

Ultimately a woman can’t expect to sit back and do nothing if she wants to increase her chance of being approached. Being willing to take that step can go a long way towards meeting someone new that could have the potential for something more.
