Just.....APPROACH!

Certain “looks” given between many men and women are priceless. It’s just as entertaining as “people watching.” But, why do we catch a look, and then often still shift our eyes? We’ve all been or on a date where someone’s ADD kicks in, and they start looking in every direction but at you. You sit there and wonder: Why am I even here? Maybe he’s just not that attracted to me and therefore feels there’s no need to focus. But whether or not you’re attracted to someone, many of us would probably agree that when you’re with someone, not paying attention to them is rude. But then again, it could just be the old ADD kicking in! Or, maybe they’re just insecure, and until he/she gets to know you, focusing isn’t their strong suit. (Here’s a tip: Men, learn to FOCUS and stop texting, and WOMEN, if you are looking for the next best beautiful thing to walk through the door, STOP--it’s SO rude!) No matter how we want to define, analyze, and determine what a “look” that’s given means, don’t be such a puss… Try saying “HI!” After all, there’s nothing wrong with using the old, “Oh, you look familiar; do I know you from college, or is it Equinox?” Come on men and women, put yourself out there! Eating dinner alone or hanging with the boys every night can become quite boring. Isn’t it better to be hard as a rock or sopping wet over filet mignon and a glass of Chianti with your favorite honey?

Let the Maven attest to that fact that I’ve been out where I’ve given and gotten looks, all with many different outcomes. Go ahead and try the approach; test the temperatures. What is the worst that could happen? After all, there’s a good possibility that he/she will be so flattered and into you that you can both “bang” into oblivion. Or, maybe you’ll have your introductions, grab a drink, and mosey on your merry way making sure to tell him or her to read your Blog! Any of those outcomes, in my Maven mind, isn’t losing. However, the possibility of gaining something you don’t have is always appealing. In any event, is there really anything wrong with approaching someone who catches your eye?
