| So, how do you do it? I have'nt been on a date or in a relationship(mostly by choice) in 8 years or so and I am wondering how to go about it.I would feel like an idiot approaching a woman in say a supermarket or something like that and saying"so, how you doing?"lol! I don't think I've ever had a relationship that did'nt start with "Would you like to dance?" And frankly, I outgrew the whole singles bar thing several years ago.How about a little advice.

| Depends on where you are at. You know, timing is everything. If you are at Wal-Mart and see someone that catches your eye, MAKE SURE SHE IS SINGLE, then act like you are clueless and ask her if she knows where you can find a four slice toaster (or something goofy like that) even if you don't need it or have any intention of buying it. But you will catch a feel as to what kind of person she is. I was in Wal-Mart with my son and had just bought a shampooer and this guy DARN NICE TOO, was telling me how good it was and that I should try this kind of shampoo for that kind of stain and I (clueless that he was flirting) thanked him and joked for a bit then out the door I went, MY SON, had to clue me in on the fact that the guy was flirting with me.  , so I know real well how you feel.

| Same as what Soy said. If they smile at you alot and act like they want to keep talking that is also a good sign. Just don't come on to strong and I think you will do fine. I wish you luck in what you are looking for. Also sometimes a park or by the lake is a good place. It doesn't always have to be someplace in doors.

| Tee, I totally agree
But (dont be offended cause I'm just joking about us Nevada folks ok) the one chance in a life time comment could be because you live in Pahrump  JUST KIDDING
I however am not that brave, after you get to know me I am FAR FROM SHY, but in the beginning especially with guys I have a REALLY HARD TIME. For crying out loud, my son had to tell me that guy was flirting and I AM NOT BLONDE   Talk about missing out

| Is there someone you're interested in? Maybe you ask someone else to make an introduction? That way if they're not interested you don't have to deal with a harsh rejection. (psst. whoo is it? you can tell me. ) No pressure though-

| Its really simple for me. If you approach from the heart and talk to her and show you have interest then see what happens. I have no fear in talking to anyone but that is just the way I am. I will say this don't try "lines" most are corny or stupid . Just be yourself I believe women or men (if you are a woman)will let you know. If you don't get what you want well then it just wasnt meant to be. If she says yes well thats a start. Either way you'll have an answer. But the worst thing you could do is not do anything she maybe the right woman and you just passed her by because you wouldn't speak up. JMO
Good luck in whatever you decide.

| This morning I was pumping gas into my car, when the guy from the opposite side said, "Investing in gasoline today too, huh?" I looked up, just a tad startled. My first thought was, 'uh oh, no make-up'.
I don't know if he was trying to initiate contact with me because he was interested in me or not, but for some reason I chose not to take it that way. We did actually chat just a little, the last thing he said was, "Gas is going to put me into the poor house!" I flipped him a big smile and said, "Well, at least you'll have plenty of friends there with you!"
As I drove away I looked back at him and thought, 'gosh darn it, why didn't I give him my phone number?' I guess it's probably because I would have felt like an idiot if he would have said, "Lady, I'm married!"
I wish more men wore their wedding rings, then you could count on that to be able to tell one way or the other!
