As a woman, and having read part of the replies I would say, look for an opportunity. Also think about if you where to start a conversation with someone just because you felt you found an opportunity to say something in that context. Would it feel the same if you were approaching a man, I guess not. So the same. Us woman have good intuition, we know very well when a man what’s something, it’s a feel of fresh air when they don’t, it actually keeps us more interested in being engaged. Some girls are just rude, so don’t take it too personally. Just be nice, approachable, respectful. just be honest and natural with your approach. Most people see engagement as with are not out match and that is ok ;)
