Well, from the male's point of view, if you hang around waiting for
a woman to initiate a relationship with you, you are in for being very
lonely. The only way I have found that works is to be very aggressive
at meeting women, and being persistent. I am not aggressive by nature,
I have had to learn it because I dislike being lonely even less.

By the way, women usually say 'no' to me the first time I ask them out,
but if I try again later, frequently they are more positive.
