Every man,  when seeing a woman he really wants to get to know better, is challenged by how best to approach her and make a favorable impression. No two women are alike so the first place to start is by observing her. If you are that man wanting to approach her, here are some questions you need to answer:

Is she friendly or is she aloof? Does she display qualities of a personality that you also possess, which will offer something familiar for her to recognize in you? Does she look to be the type of person who will say 'hello' or is she likely to snatch out her cell phone and dial 911 on the first sight of a stranger? Have you noticed her looking at you? Is she moderating her step to give you time to approach? Has she smiled at you? Most importantly, has she smiled at you more than once? If she has, it's time to approach this woman and get to know her.

What about your impression on her? Are you giving her time to notice you so you do not surprise her? Are you showing self-respect in your dress and grooming? Do you stand straight and manly or do you slouch? These two are important. If you are clean and neat, you give the impression of orderliness in your life, you treat yourself and your health well and you are in charge of the details of your life. A confident bearing shows her that she, a woman, can rely upon you to act like a man, a protector, when she needs one. If you do not show an honest and confident posture, she might think you're hiding something, or worse, that you are about to grab her purse and run! All these very ancient signals, as old as humankind itself, are firing off when a man meets a woman and no amount of modern ideas have changed them a bit.

If you're sure your impression is friendly, decent and manly and she's looking at you now, onward to the approach! Look at her face, especially her eyes, but keep it a light friendly look; no intent stares here. Don't look her up and down as if you're trying to see through her clothing. Approach from the side; a direct face-on, except when you are actually being introduced to one another by someone else, might be mistaken for an attack. Same goes for an approach from behind; you do not want her to think you are sneaking up on her. Now if she's walking her dog, you are especially fortunate because you can address the dog first and praise its good looks. If you get bitten for that liberty, well, it's in a good cause after all.

What do you say? Have you heard her saying anything that shows you what her opinions might be? Start with that if it's a topic with which you are comfortable and have your own opinion to offer. Do you like her face, her hair, her voice? Say so, and mean it. A sincere compliment offered with a true heart and no expectations is always welcome. You might want to save compliments about other parts of the body for later, when you know her better. You don't need a practiced line that you've heard or read somewhere. It is you that you want her to notice, your mind and your ideas, not those of somebody else. If you're really attracted to her and don't mind showing it honestly, that is the best love potion you can carry and wherever and whenever you approach her with your open approval, she'll be glad to see you!
