Single Ladies: Why You Aren’t Being Approached by Guys You Like

By Farouk Mohammed

As a single lady, you don’t want to come across as standoffish or clingy, overbearing or unapproachable. You have to be friendly and outgoing but not in a desperate kind of way.

When you meet new people in a group, you should learn how to communicate by smiling, just saying ‘hi’ but on the other hand you don’t want to start talking away as this  will throw them off balance and they’ll run away from you.

Most times, when you meet someone you like and the situation is favorable, it’s better you establish a form of communication. Try to start a conversation and let them do the walking if they aren’t interested.

The truth is the guys you like may think you are totally unapproachable if you sit in a place without smiling, no keeping eye-contact, even when they try to come around you don’t say ‘hi’. These guys may just mistake your shyness for being rude. The trick is to gather courage.
