I know. Sad about the library. I'm a big lover of books. Bookstores are great places to meet people, too.

 

I prefer meeting guys in public. No Internet dating for me. I like the intangibles too much. Body language. Energy. Flirting.

I have started to get back into books after quite a few years away.

But the last few books i have read have been from the library or bought online.

Will probably have to travel a few miles to get to my nearest bookstore but the next book i buy will not be done online.

Even if it is a little bit cheaper to do it online.:cool:

You should go! Might meet someone!

I agree with the op that most women will be giving some type of signals even if they are hardly noticeable....but.....I do believe that there are some women out there who will give no signals at all do to shyness or social awkwardness.

The public library, even with its "quiet please" feel is a good place to go to experience this kind of attraction.

But with the internet, technology, kindles etc the public library is something that will eventually die out. Such a shame. :(

 

I purchased an ebook from kindle for $3 and just download it right to my android tablet. Easier to hold and carry around as opposed to $17.99 at the bookstore for a hard copy, plus the gas the time to drive over. Work 9 hrs, drive home in traffic, workout, clean, laundry, errands. I don't think there's any going back for some of us.

A lot of talk about approaching women in public. One of the most common things I hear is. "Don't fear rejection, you'll never know unless you try"

 

From my experience, women give off signals that let men know if they're interested. If I see a women I like, I try and make eye contact. If she looks and smiles, I'm good to approach. Or sometimes I might catch one eyeballing me which is obvious. Now if I'm next to woman in line somewhere and she's not smiling, kinda looking down or away from me with a straight face, I'll just save myself a rejection. It's reading typical body language.

 

If you were at the mall and you passed by a good looking guy, do you look at him and/or smile as you pass him?

 

 

Signals are helpful but don't always guarantee success. :cool:

I must admit. I do try to.

 

What usually happens is I give a really quick smile and really quick glances because I am really shy. Particularly with the opposite sex.

I absolutely do. As the other posters have said, the main signal I'll give is eye contact.

 

If I'm interested I'll make eye contact with you - repeatedly - and yes, probably with a smile when we've caught each other's eye a few times.

 

If you're looking at me and I'm avoiding your gaze, then if you approach you're most likely going to get politely rejected. :)

 

Of course as much as we want to deny it really it's all about looks to get your foot in the door

Yes I don't know who told u different but being good looking makes the breaking the ice part very very easy.

 

I couldn't imagine how hard it is for unattractive dudes who never get signals of interest to approach.

I've thought about that, it puts you in a position where you can't just randomly someone. Only way is to either work with them, have a mutual friend, maybe a yoga class. Some type of way to grow on that person, which is a really tough position to be in.

Before I was married I did the majority of initial pursuing, simply because the only men with the balls to approach me were the ones who I didn't want to be approached by.

 

So yes, I gave signals. One being going up to the man directly and talking to him.

I've been encountering a lot of that recently! :laugh:
