A female age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hello, hope you can help. Everytime I go down town I see this man I really fancy. He is the same age as me and goes to the same indie gigs as me and he always comes up to where we are standing up next to me at the bar but never says anything. My friends say he seems shy but I'm quite shy until I have had a drink. I don't know what to do. Next time I see him, as I have liked him a long time I don't wanna come across desperate if I go up and talk to him. What do men think of women who approach them? Thank you x

Is there a way you can find out if he's attached already? Obviously you don't want to step on someone else's toes. The fact that he stands near you, making himself "available" could be a positive sign. If he's shy, he could be hoping that something will occur to give him just cause to break the ice and talk to you. I personally don't like men who can't/won't make the first move. How can he be a hunter/gatherer if he fails at the first jump? It's often said that women really initiate moves by their body language. So find an excuse to cross the room towards him and make flirty, sincere eye contact. Try a smile. If he responds negatively, you can always say you were smiling at someone behind him, saving your blushes. Good luck!

CarrieMagdelene agony auntI asked my boyfriend about this. He said it would be a major turn on, especially if it were a shy guy being asked out or approached. Confidence is sexy. Don't worry about coming across as desperate. Just be friendly, out going, and have a big smile on your face! :) Hope this helps, girlie! -Carrie
