Deep dives

Approaching a guy and making the first move

Approaching someone you're interested in can be intimidating, but there are different approaches you can take. One option is to make eye contact and give subtle signals to show your interest, such as smiling or initiating conversation. Another approach is to be more direct and confident by giving your phone number or contact details in a casual and non-threatening way, such as writing it on a piece of paper or dropping it in their book. This gives them the opportunity to reach out if they're interested. Remember, it's important to set realistic expectations and not put too much pressure on yourself or the other person. The worst that can happen is they may not reciprocate, but you've still taken a brave step and made someone feel good about themselves.
