For men the prospect of approaching a woman can be stressful, and nerve destroying. If they do it in the wrong manner, not only will they possibly be humiliated, but they will miss out on getting to know someone they are attracted to. For women, being approached by a man is equally awkward and stressful. She doesnt know if he is going to act with tact and respect, or if she is going to need to break out the fire hose. So, here is advice from a woman to men everywhere on how to approach a woman.
Each woman is different in her likes and dislikes, but a few things are universal. First of all, they dont like being evaluated like a piece of meat. If you stand at the bar sizing her up for 20 minutes and then try to approach her, chances are shes going to dismiss you quickly. So, if you see a woman you like, you need to decide if she is worth talking to and make your approach.

As you are approaching her, if the two of you make eye contact, dont be the first to break it. Doing that shows that you are unsure about your actions, and that takes away from the assertive nature of making that approach. If she looks away shyly dont be discouraged, women often act coy to attract men. Until she dismisses you, youre still in the game. When you get to here dont say a stupid pick up line, even if the sentiment is real, if she has spent any time out in public in the past 5 years she has heard them all. Instead say something playful, positive, and fun.

Once you establish a conversation with her lean back slightly. There is nothing more disconcerting to a woman than a strange man leaning into her personal space. Leaning back slightly will make her feel more comfortable with you, and will make you seem respectful and courteous.
When you are gearing up to do this, remember, just because a woman doesnt respond to you in the way you want doesnt mean you are at fault. Sometimes, women just arent interested in any man, and sometimes, they just arent in the mood.
