I am always looking my best, friendly, and always going out, so why don’t guys approach me? Have you been asking yourself those questions lately? Because no guy seems to be interested in asking you out
Well, one thing you should know is that guys not approaching you, might be because of different reasons. Maybe you are hanging out in the wrong places, they don’t get the chance to catch you alone, you act like you are taken, or the guys you are meeting are not confident enough to talk to you.
Keep reading this article, to find out common reasons, why guys don’t approach girls, and how to make guys start approaching you.
20 Reasons why guys don’t approach me
1. Hanging out in the wrong places
You might think you are always going out but are you going out to places that make you happy? Places where you can be yourself? If you are hanging out in a place you don’t feel comfortable, you would look so unapproachable. Because it will be written all over your face that you don’t fit there, and the type of guys there won’t be interested in saying hi.
2. On your phone more often than not
If you always bury your face on your phone, guys are going to lose interest in talking to you. It will look like you are already seeing someone that you are always texting, or you are always on your phone because you don’t want anyone to bother you.
3. Always go out with other guys
When you hang out with other guys, it might make guys feel that they are your boyfriend, so they won’t bother to approach you.
4. You don’t make eye contact
Eye contact is your way of sending a nonverbal: “I want you to talk to me” message to a guy. You don’t have to stare too long when you see him. You can just give him a shy look with a smile, then you can take your eyes off, so as not to appear creepy.
5. Being too easy
Most times, guys like to be the ones doing the chasing. So, if you are the type that it’s quick to approach guys, it might be the reason why they are not attracted to you. It’s good to have the confidence to make the first move, but it is preferable to create an atmosphere for him than to go directly to approach him.
6. Behave rudely
If you are the rude type, no guy is going to want to engage in conversation with you. So, if you are still asking yourself; “why don’t guys approach me”, and you know you are rude, I think this time for you to work on being a nicer person.
7. You don’t go out often
How can you be wondering why guys don’t approach you if you barely go out? Or do you keep going to the same place over and over again and do you expect to meet new people? If you are asking yourself; “ why don’t guys approach me?” maybe putting yourself out there might be the solution for you.
8. Don’t look approachable
Still, asking Why don’t guys approach me? But you always hang out alone? Well, it is one thing to hang out alone and another thing is to have the right attitude when you are out there. Your body language is a great determinant for guys to talk to you. If you have a do not disturb my face, no guy would want to disturb you.
9. Not dressing well enough
Maybe you think you are already looking your best, but you might have been doing it the wrong way. Wearing something that best suits you will boost your confidence, and also makes guys attracted to approach you. You can show a little skin if you are comfortable with it, but don’t dress slutty.
10. They are afraid of rejection
Maybe you are the type that is always talking about the fairy tale kind of guy you want, any guy is hardly going to meet that criterion. So, this might be the reason why they just avoid talking to you, because they feel you might reject them.
11. Assume you are taken
Not all guys like to start a conversation with a girl that is taken. Things like wearing a lot of rings, going out with other couples, going out with a particular guy you are not dating, guys are going to think you are dating and won’t bother trying to approach you.
12. Everyone knows your business
Are you the loud type? Maybe one guy asks you out and you reject him. You are telling everyone about it, if guys realize you are that kind of person, they would be reluctant to approach you.
13. Look too busy
One thing is to go out and another thing is to do the right thing for a guy to approach you. You want guys to talk to you, so you have to indirectly help them. For instance, you are outside, you are acting like you are on an office job or with a project on your laptop. A decent guy would not want to talk to you, because he does not want to disturb you.
14. You are too sensitive
If you are easily hurt, it’s another thing that can scare guys away. Even a simple joke might hurt you. So guys might be avoiding you because they don’t even know the right thing to say, go do.
15. They have not had the opportunity to catch you alone
It takes a very confident guy to start a conversation with you when you are around other people. Most guys prefer to do it when you are alone. So, if guys are not approaching you, and you are the type that’s always going out with company, maybe it’s time you start going out alone. At least once in a while.
16. Act like you are too good for anyone
When you act like everyone is below your standard, it’s going to scare guys away from you. Who would bother talking to a girl who thinks so highly of herself? Don’t get me wrong. It is good to hold yourself in high regard, but if you do it so arrogantly, it’s going to scare guys away.
17. Don’t know what men want
You have to learn to do what attracts the kind of men you want. Maybe men have been approaching you but not the kind of men you want. Learning what men want can help you attract the right man.
18. Not conversational
If you don’t know how to engage in a conversation or keep it going, guys might drawback in talking to you, for fear of embarrassing themselves. Maybe they start a conversation with you, but you don’t even know how to reply, or how to help them keep the conversation alive. They might end up leaving when it becomes awkward so if you are guilty of this, I advise you work on your communication skills.
19. A loner
Though some men are attracted to loners, most men are not. For instance, everyone is at a party dancing and having fun, and you rather sit and be on your phone. Men will assume that you rather be someone else, and you are not the type that would be easy to have a conversation with.
20. You still hang out in the same place with your ex
You had a relationship that everyone knew about. After breaking up, you are still hanging out in places where your ex hangs out. Guys would be thinking, you still have feelings for him, and that might be scaring them away.
How can I get a guy to approach me
1. Make eye contacts
When you don’t maintain eye contact, it makes it look like you don’t have an interest. So, try to maintain a little eye contact. Don’t stare too much, just a little glance, with a shy smile, would do.
2. Smile
Smile at the guy you want to approach you. It’s as easy as that. Your smile is like a non-verbal way of telling him “hey I am interested in you too”
3. Don’t hang out with a large crowd
When you are always out with the boys or girls, it does not give guys the chance to catch you alone. Not all guys have the confidence to speak to a girl while she has company. So, it will be better to do yourself the favor of hanging out a few times, around the guys you are interested in.
4. Put effort into your appearance
Dress well, wear attractive clothing, but don’t do it for him, don’t reveal too much skin. Wear something that makes you comfortable and something that will make you stand out in the room.
5. Body language
A dull and moody body language scares guys away. You have to always carry the vibrant vibe, and be easy to approach but don’t be easy to get.
Do guys like to be approached?
Yes, they do like to be approached. But only by girls that they are interested in. If a man does not find you attractive, it might look like you are throwing yourself at him.
So, as a woman, it’s better to take the time to study, if a guy has an interest in you before you approach them. Don’t rush, give him a hint first. When it looks like he is not getting the hint, that’s when you make the first move.
Why do guys never get hints?
It’s not really like men don’t get the hints you throw at them. The problem is they are afraid to make the wrong move because some of these hints are puzzling. A girl might be flirting with a guy, it will be difficult for the guy to know if the flirting is for sex or a relationship. So, he would be reluctant to make any move for fear of being embarrassed.
Guys are not mind-readers, and women’s hints can be very ambiguous sometimes. So, for fear of rejection, guys just look away.
