What would you do if you saw the man of your dreams?
You make eye contact.You may even smile.
If you're brave enough, you might even say hello.
On the day that you're feeling ultra-confident, you may even strike up a conversation!
I mean what's the worst that could happen?
I saw the man of my dreams today.
He stood tall. About 6ft 2. He had incredibly handsome features. He was wearing motor-bike leathers and he was holding a big shiny black helmet.
He saw me and smiled and I smiled back.Instead of holding his stare, I scurried off like a frightened mouse.
I did NOT keep eye contact.
I did NOT say hello.
I didn't even PRETEND TO BE ULTRA-CONFIDENT and strike up a conversation!
I could have said anything from discussing the weather to how good he looked in leather! But oh no. Off I ran like a dew-foot girl.
I saw him again, about 10 minutes later on down the road. So opportunity number 2 strikes again and... what did I do? Scurried off like a frightened little mouse.
What the hell is wrong with me? He was gorgeous.
I'm so good at giving out sound advice about confidence, but when it comes to me... I may as well be sitting in the corner wearing a big white pointy hat with D for damn stupid on it.

Girl,I'm going through the same thing at work. I don't know what to do, it's frustrating. The only clear answer is to strike up a conversation, which is the hardest thing to do.

When the opportunity arises again and it will arise again, talk to the man. Or at leaset hold his gaze. It worked for me. Although my husband tells everyone I was his stalker.

PS Sandra, open dialogue with him! You never know what might happen.
As a man, I'd gladly welcome a woman approaching me. It would make a nice change.
I'd be happy. So do it girls/women and ladies.

It is too frightening to approach a man, I mean, what if he thinks you're a d***? i realise that you shouldn't care what other people think, but if you think a guy is hot then you kind of do care what he thinks....how on earth do I get over myself enough to do this (rhetorical question!)

Go for it. Speak to guys. What's the worse that could happen. He's not going to kill you. If it doesn't work out, chances are you'll never see him again anyway.
It is really frightening, but imagine how you'd feel with the nerves and the apprehension and still going for it.
Feel the fear but do it anyway!!

We speak each other. I guess I'm trying to figure out if he is interested in me or just being polite.
I just need to start a conversation with him and the best way is to introduce myself, that never fails.
It's a shame I feel like a teenage girl than a grown ass woman, but some teenage girls are bold.
Thank you everyone for the advice and encouragement. Ken is it always good to get advice from a man. I will keep you guys informed.
Speak to a man if you fancy him. Men are just dying for someone to make an approach.
If a man isn't interested, you'll soon find out, he'll disappear. We're too coward to say to your face we're not interested - but have no fear. Go for it. Make the approach.
And good luck Sandra.

Update
I meet the guy and we're going to lunch on Wednesday. He seems to be a really nice person. Our conversations are so easy. It's like we have been knowing each other for a long time.
The fear of rejection is too strong.
Thanks everyone for your words of encouragment.
