They were always at least flattered even if end up going anywhere.

that strategy works in smaller more intimate spaces. not pretty large/public areas
Again, she kept making sure she was around you so you would see her. So this strategy worked in a large event.
DP. That is exhausting. Plus the climate has changed. Most men now believe women do not want to be approached. It is time for women to put them selves out there and make the first move. Women have no excuses.
It’s not exhausting. Jesus, are you a porn addict or something? It’s part of a very fun game and it’s the reason the human species still exists.
It's part of a "very fun" game where women don't want to play by the same rules as the guy.

Bizarre and outdated (wannabe) pickup artist vibes.
Also, stop telling women what to do. We could take or leave your specific (or septic, as autocorrect wanted to say) D.

OP, you literally just proved that if a man wants a woman and she gives signals, he will approach. So why do women have to approach first again?

“Baddies?”
Wut.
Wrong forum.
95%+ of the posters here won't know what this means. Lol

as a guy, the threshold should average 4-5 approaches a week....but women can do 1.
are you going to let some weird software bro coding up the hinge back-end software stack be the genesis of your next relationship?
Most single women these days are happy single so they aren't going to ask for one dude's phone number!

Right? Imagine *successfully* flirting with a woman at a gallery and then coming here to whine about it and be resentful. OP is an incel whether or not he knows it.

I later saw her separated from the other woman in one of the galleries and at first didn't feel like chatting with her (i wasn't in a talkative mood) so I mulled around the gallery and made a comment about her scarf as she was about to leave. Anyways we started chatting and 5 mins into the convo, she says "when I saw you on the stairs as you walked past us, i told my girlfriend how handsome you were"...
ladies...shoot your shot. If i never said something, we would've never connected.
it's exhausting to always be the one to shoot first. i don't mind doing it (it's the only way i meet people since i'm not online) but in 2025 women need to embrace more agency.
No matter what women do, it is always wrong. You have to turn something positive into something negative. If a woman had come up to you when you weren't feeling 'chatty' you would have called her harassing you and not reading the room.

FWIW, you initiated, OP. If you hadn’t made a comment on her scarf, she would not have talked to you. Women set men up, you have to initiate, they have to lob it back. It’s a fun game. Too bad everyone is too distracted by their phone to play.

I’m sure you are popular with that attitude!
I’m confused about OP though. It sounds like he is the one who missed an opportunity by not actually responding when she DID in fact make clear she was interested.

Guys, you can’t shoot your load if you don’t first shoot your shot.
