I agree. Just ask. I have been asked at times that I have not been single, and my reply has been "I am flattered but currently involved".

Strike up a convo

Always ask, it's a simple as starting a conversation... Worst thing that happens is they say no im not... Worth the risk!

I agree

Just ask!
I'd be flattered if a guy struck up a conversation in public, as most are to shy to do so. It shows confidence and something great could come from it.
Some girls may react bad, but most would simply say they're taken or not interested if they felt uncomfortable. If you get a bad reaction don't let that one time get you down.

Your boyfriend loves when you wear those jeans"
- oh he bought them for you (rats)
- oh, your husband likes them too (rats again)
- oh, you don't have a boyfriend ... (Bazinga!)

I feel if I do this too much, Women may get offended that they weren't first pick, only choose them because the other one isn't available. Not to say I move that quickly, but I am 39.

Don't ask! You're better than her boyfriend anyway. Assume the sale.

That will get the desired info, but will not generate any desire.

The single ring!
4/11/2016 at 7:33 PM

That is why I wanted to bring the Ringle to Brandon area. A ring to say your single. But it didn't go over very well. I really thought it was a good idea!

asking women for dates
4/13/2016 at 2:14 PM

If you don't know her relationship status then you don't know her well enough to date her. Take the time to get to know someone you are attracted to then take it from there. Randomly asking people for dates is creepy when you don't know about them.

No one said anything about asking them on dates. Maybe he saw someone, works with someone, ect he was attracted to and wanted to see about getting their number to get to know them better. If they weren't single this wouldn't be very appropriate so it's always nice to find out if they're single first.

It's just as hard to know if men are single.

I'd say if she has noticed you she would have made eye contact and smiled at you. Maybe would keep looking in your direction and if that's the case just go say hi and start a small conversation. No harm in talking with someone that has caught your eye!!

Smile and say hi, instead of being hung up on having to have it lead somewhere.

i dont agree, once you know the girl is single then you can amp up the flirt or whatever your personality allows and go from there, honestly looks are nice but i become waay more attracted to a guy once i like his personality

Get Involved in a Club
4/20/2016 at 12:27 PM

If you are working together towards a goal such as helping pets through the Humane Society or one of the many service clubs, then you will quickly learn who is what in that organization. You can also ask (but not the first time you are there; observe for a few weeks).

My husband met me when he was 46, so do not give up.

Casual

Strike up a casual conversation with her. She will probably talk about her SO if she has one. Ask her about her weekend plans if she has a SO she will probably mention him in her weekend plans.
