- WHAT??? Where the hell do you LIVE??? Females approached at LEAST
- once or twice a week????
-
- Of course, daily environment (which for me is mostly work) counts
- too. I was "approached" by 4 ex-coworkers the month after I got my
- new job ... but that still only puts me at about 7 approaches for
- the year.
-
- I've also been the "approacher" 4 times.

- >> (BTW, what do you mean by "approaching",
- >> "luck out", and "offers"? Just curious)
-
- I'm using "introduce & ask for my phone number" (people I don't know)
- and "asking out" (people I already know) in counting "approaches" -
- each approacher counts once.
