An "approach" could lead to someone asking another person out. It's up to the "pursuer" to determine whether he (or she, rarely) should ask.

Most of the time, a decent conversation, with a considerable amount of "smooth flow," is required in order for the "pursuer" to ask the "pursue-e" out.

I would say most "approaches" do not lead to asking another person out on the date. The most that frequently happens is that email address/phone numbers are exchanged.

I think that Jono is suggesting that asking someone out could also come under the definition of "approaching". I.e. the term is broader than an initial first move.

Asking someone out is frequently the objective of the "approach."

At least 3/4's of the time, the objective is not met.

Yes, so your definition of the word is a bit different to Jono's, if I'm following properly.

I believe it is somewhat rare when the objective of this sort of "approach" is not asking out the person for a date.

Yes, there are "approaches" where the objective is merely decent conversation. There are people who are lonely for that. There is, quite possibly, anunderlying sexual component to this--but it is not explicitly expressed in the person's conscious mind. In the conscious mind, all the person wants is to have human contact.

I know you have. I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm a little jealous sometimes because of your smarts LOL You have that sort of inductive, associative smarts which is found in television shows like "connections."

People think you're smart and witty. And being smart and witty is sexy to a lot of people.

thank you, but obviously i'm not as smart as somebody here like dox47 who likes to remind me of how stupid he thinks I am. anyways, thank you my good man! :flower: just wish the "smart and witty" would translate into people in my neck of the woods smiling at me more often.

I wish that for you, too.

There are people who try to make others look stupid for rhetorical reasons, so that they might win the argument. This is especially prevalent in political and philosophical arguments.

If there's an idea presented, it's inevitable that there would be 7 billion interpretations of that idea, based both on life experience and perceived logic.

i'm depressed at the number of aspies here who look down their noses at their fellow aspies for not more successfully emulating NT behavior.

This is sort of the same thing which occurs when black people look down on people who live in the projects.

I believe you have to see the world with a forward-looking face. That way, you could see the Horizon.

If you face goes downward, all you can see is the ugly ground with all the dirt.

I call that the "dr. huxtable" syndrome.

Ironically, you see that attitude most intensely with people who actually live in the projects.
