I'm one of those "pretty but lonely" girls that gets double-takes and stares all the time...but I rarely get approached. What gives?! Is there anything I can do to give my would-be suitors the green light.....?

Take the unicorn by the horn, woman. I get so many questions from women about why they don't get approached. Some know they're head-turners like you. Others think they're fuggo trolls. There are women who are painfully shy, and those who are out-going. And none of them know how to get approached by a dude. Chicks just can't win.

First off -- let's dispense with the notion that the chess game of love is all about men making the first move. Are there dudes out there who might be put off by a presumptuous slattern approaching them? Sure. Maybe. This means they're either old-fashioned to the point of complaining about the 19th Amendment, or so by the book that they short-circuit when a woman fails to behave according to their programming. If you're friendly to a guy taken aback by a woman starting up a conversation with him in 2010, then that's a guy you don't really want to talk with.

So flirt. The best flirts are people who like people, regardless of what that person can do for them or give them. Ace flirts make eye contact, laugh with their bellies, and ask questions. And here's the most important part: they listen to the answers to the questions.

If a guy does a double-take at a party, use the following pick-up line: "Hi." ZOMG IT WILL WERK. If he's staring, and not that kind of staring where he's molesting you with his eyeballs, then stare back... and smile a little. But definitely change your attitude. Talk to everyone. Be friendly. Man or woman, pixie or Cylon. Try to meet a new person everyday. Think of it as practice.

The best way to be approachable is to approach.

What he says is true. I thought the same thing but it all changed. where I live there was a fair and as this cute guy was passing I caught his eye and smiled. Because I was working there he and his friend kept coming back to buy soda. I eventually got his number. So lady don't wait for the guy to make the first move, I didn't and look how it turned out for me.

I used to have this problem, then one day I realized that I'm nice, interesting and friendly so why wouldn't someone want to at least talk to me. So, I started smiling at cute guys and saying hi and striking up a conversation. I've gotten tons of dates that way and more than a few new friends. Plus the more I do it the easier it gets. So, next time you see a cutie give him your best smile, say hi and see what happens.
