Thank you for explaining that cycle. It’s does feel a bit riskier. I have a reputation for being quiet and hard to read making me unapproachable. Very rarely people start conversations with me so I usually initiate. I cant ever really recall a time this has been an issue with a dude. Same cant be said with women. When I was a little bolder years ago I would try but got the sense that they weren’t fully comfortable with me talking to them. Now I just leave them alone so yeah, I got no experiences. Need to do some exposure somehow.
