from:msnbc.comThere's a lesson to be learned from that guy who relentlessly uses corny lines to get your attention: It's OK to approach and attempt to meet someone new. Finesse Mitchell, author of "Your Girlfriends Only Know So Much," says women should try it more often. An excerpt.

Well, it may work for some guys, but I tried this on someone I thought was attracted to me, and happened to be my friend (for 2 yrs) as well, and it backfired. I almost lost his friendship because I hinted in a subtle way that I was interested in him. He found that to be a total turn off, and became nervous and upset, though he later apologized for becoming so upset and trying to avoid me and luckily, I did not lose his friendship. That was the first (and last) time I will ever try to hint to someone that I am interested in becoming an item. I will keep my old school beliefs about the guy asking the girl out (it hurts more when a woman is rejected since we're more emotional and tend to fantasize in our minds), and just wait. By the way, he is old school and doesn't like girls jumping at him, so that was a fatal mistake on my part. I'm just happy to still be able to have his friendship, get the occasional compliment from him and be around him and who knows, maybe someday he'll be able to tell me he likes me (if he does, in fact). If not, I'll have kept my friendship at least! Maybe this works on men who are more open-minded, not sure but I sure as hell won't be rushing to try it.
Uh huh. Yeah, this whole article brings to mind Pink's "U + Ur Hand".
Personally, I don't like being hit on. I find it rude, disrespectful and triggering having been sexually assaulted at various times in my life. Oh, here's a helpful hint: Nearly all the creeps who've assaulted me were "pickupliners", the other 3 were pedophiles. The last thing I need is some strange guy I don't know pushing himself on me. Only disrespectful, inconsiderate creeps hit on people.
And instead of admonishing the creeps who do it, you suggest women become creeps as well. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. I'm not about to perpetuate something that I find so offensive. Count me out.
Sure it's no skin off the backs of the pick-up-liners to get rejected, they just move on to the next prey- uh person. Do they ever stop to think of WHY they got rejected beyond "she's a b*tch!!"? Doubt it because they don't care, they're just looking for their next target.
