    In the mating game it’s up to the guys to advertise interest and the gals to make a choice.

    Women are pros at dealing with endless expressions of interest, they rarely know how to show/express it. Just be respectful and let go of expectations going in.

    Don’t let the endless whining seen on social media deter you, it’s mostly lies.

    If men bore the babies and women had to do the mating advertising, the human race would be extinct.

      seriously, attract don’t chase is how you stay alone.

      love is the most common resource on earth, for anyone even remotely healthy/attractive as a partner. repeated exposure, common interests/experiences to bond over, and a willingness to learn/grow is all you need to fall for anyone.

      pursue, but just take rejection like an adult. no means no etc. first couple times sting but it gets easier with time/practice

          …persue/chase em… nobody will know your interested in them unless you make some effort to show that interest, humans can’t read minds.

          so approach with light flirting, presumably around whatever attracted you to them in the first place. then ask out to neutral/low-commitment social event, like a concert or something.
