The times have changed. No longer is it taboo for a woman to approach an attractive man. It's often a wise decision because it increases your chances of meeting Mr. Right. It's okay to be assertive and go after what you want. Once you set aside your fear of rejection and take the plunge, you'll be thankful you did. Read on to learn how to approach an attractive man.

Instructions

1. Overcome your shyness. A lot of women miss out on the opportunity to talk to men because they're too self conscious.

2. Find an excuse to talk to him. If you work together and you're in the elevator today, talk about a work project or event. If you notice him at a bar, ask him for the time.

3. Approach him in a casual way. This allows you the chance to gauge his personality. Make sure he's alone then make small talk. Smile at him. Chances are he'll smile back. Plus, you've overcome one hurdle by initiating contact.

4. Build on that initial conversation by talking to him whenever you see him.

5. Talk about a subject that interests the man--himself. He will feel most comfortable talking about his work or hobbies. If he's interested in you, he'll ask you questions in return.

Tips & Warnings

• If the man's response to you is lukewarm, give up after a few conversations. He may not be interested in you.

• Don't force yourself on the guy.
