    Pretty to the point.

    Do you like/prefer to approach another, or do you like/prefer to be approached by another? This doesn't have to geared towards hooking up, or dating. It can be about anything, say, a school project, co-workers at work, or somebody attractive.

    I am very introverted and quite shy, so I would be preferred to be approached. I don't really like going up to my boss and asking for help if I need it, although I do if I have to.

    A mixture! I really like being approached by (nice!) people I don't know. I do like to approach people I know. :icon_bigg

    I can definitely do both given the situation. I'm ambivert so given my mood I might approach someone or wait for them to approach me. I do prefer to be approached though, it's easier for me to follow along than to start thing myself. :grin:

    In a social setting that's NOT dating I don't really care. But I'd want to be approached by a guy. But if I was pretty sure he wasn't straight and was into him enough, I'd approach him (maybe?) :lol:

    I almost always approach only because if I'm interested in someone I really can't help it

    I'd rather be approached. Sometimes it takes me weeks to gather the courage to talk to someone.

    I would like to be approached because I don't have much courage at all.

    I'm shy so I like being approached, but I think a mixture is good

    Mmmm I like to be approached more, not that I wont approach someone I like... It's just more flattering to have someone come up and show interest in me... ^^;;

    Be approached. I am in general a passive, submissive person. Not a leader in anyway--I've always been a follower.

    Given that I am relatively shy, I would prefer to be approached. It would be a plus if he's also awkward and nervous so that it would be kind of interesting.

    I am confident as a guy that I wouldn't feel "womanly" if a guy approaches me because we are both men.

    However, I wouldn't put it past me to a approach a guy. It would be indirect and awkward as heck, though :lol:.

    I got sick of all the bullshit and mind games years ago.
    I dont play those fucked up games.

    If someone is interested in me, they can come up to me and say so.

    Otherwise leave me the hell alone.

    I would rather be approached, but I am too ugly for that to happen.

    Pretty sure it's actually impossible for me to approach someone I like

    A mixture of both! I like being approached for friend-type things like going shopping or out for the day, because I tend to think I'm intruding on people's plans when I do the approaching. When it comes to flirting, though, I tend to be the approacher, though I get shyer when it comes to actually asking people out.

    Approaching anyone, for any reason, terrifies me. Even if it's about something completely insignificant. I pretty much have to be approached.


    Social anxiety sucks...

    My spine has the consistency of a soggy noodle so I prefer to be approached.
