This is a cut and paste from my blog . . . though I owed it to you all to post here as well since I've created 50-11 posts about this issue.
*copy* *paste*
So, despite all of my moaning and groaning about never being approached, I managed to put some of the tips from you ladies into work and, lo and behold, I was approached.
I was out Christmas shopping (for self-gifting purposes
) and when I walked up to this elevator there was a Caribbean dude just standing there waiting. Without thinking, I flashed him a friendly smile. He didn't smile back. No big whoop.
We ended up getting off at the same floor and started to walk off in different directions. But then he circled back to me and asked me if I worked nearby because I "look[ed] familiar"
Anyways, we ended up talking for a good five minutes. (He did ask if I was married
and said that he "preferred" my type of woman - meaning my size, I guess.) Anyways, I gave him my number . . . we will see if he calls. In truth, he's probably not what I'm looking for, but I'm still working to increase the number of men I interact with and dates I go on . . . so YAY ME.

I do have an interest in him, but it is not romantic (he mentioned working with young black youths and I am interested in community service with that population). I want to widen my social circle though and make contacts helpful to my interests, so I am open to getting to know even men I have no romantic attraction to but who might fit into my social interests.
keep on smiling and being approachable. you will be fighting them off in no time.
