How do you tell if a girl is single or not without asking them?


Question Posted Sunday December 18 2011, 4:13 pm

Hi, this may be a little sad, but i am having trouble finding a girlfriend. I go to school, work, and barely have time to get out. I am shy when it comes to the girls that i like. As far as girls who are my friends, i do just fine. I am 19 and i currently have a membership at the local YMCA. The problem is that i don't know how to approach and get a girl to go out with me. I had a "girlfriend" in my freshman year of high school, but we only went out on one date and we didn't even last a month. I would like both gender's perspectives on this. Please state whether you are female or male. THanks. Also, don't worry how many have responded to this already, i'll take as many as i can get.

P.S. how do you tell if a girl is single or not without asking them?

Sometimes the best thing to do when you are looking to date someone is just not try so hard to find the person. One thing that always scares off a women is when a guy comes on to strong, You don't really flat out ask them if they are single. How did you meet your friends? I suppose you had to start somewhere. If you have a membership to the YMCA then when you see someone just try being friendly and say Hi. Sometimes a good way to meet someone is to get together with friends and have them bring their friends along. Be casual about it, Try and get to know them and find similar interest. Once you get to the point where you have a good conversation going you could ask the person if they want to grab a coffee sometime.

Maybe this sounds cheesy but if you are a member of the YMCA and you spot a girl and don't know how to approach her you could act like you need some help with something and ask if she'd give you a hand. Sure, Maybe you don't really need the help but sometimes it's the way to get a conversation going. If the girl shows interest in you and is willing to hang out then the obvious signs that she likes you would be once she flirts with you, wants to really get to know you and spends a good chunk of time with you. If you feel the need, Once you get to know a little bit about her you could ask if she's seeing someone.

I am a female, There really isn't any way to tell if someone is single or not without asking them, but I wouldn't think you'd want to walk up to a random person and ask them out on a date, that could end up to be a disaster. Maybe start a casual conversation with a few people. At a gym that's easy to do you could just spark up a random conversation and ask them how often they come there, or maybe make a female workout buddy. Or if you do fine with girls that are your friends and that makes you less nervous then you could just be friends first, or don't look at it as searching for a date. Or maybe date one of your friends; Some people say you can't be "just friends" :P

I hope I helped somewhat, just take a chance you only live once (:
