Like it or not, it is men who generally have to make the first move in the human mating ritual. Some men feel that this is unfair, since they have to do all the work while the women merely stand there, wait for the approaching males and take their pick.
This in reality is not so. It rather puts guys in the position of power not ladies. You are the hunter and can choose your prey. You decide the type of lady to approach. It can even be very frustrating for women as they can wait forever for the approach to come.
You will get out of your misery even if you are turned down 100 times. I know women who have waited months, even years, for an approach that they thought was imminent(about to happen), before giving up.
Make your choice and move forward for the approach. This is natural expectation of you by society. It is what women want. Count your blessings - you are in control. Your destiny is in your own hands.
