Differences in guys: Who's supposed to make the first step?

I can never figure it out. [MENTION=20738]TwisttheLeaf[/MENTION] 's response makes the most sense. The thing you need to keep in mind, you might feel like a 4 on a scale from 1-10 but someone might see you as a 9, I'm serious.

I agree with you there, people have different preferences which make them see attractiveness as different things. Some people always seem to think they're not that good looking, I'm kinda one of them - on the rare occassion someone compliments me and calls me handsome I can't help but feel suspiscious, like they're taking pity on me, when I know I should just thank them, take the compliment and run!

No matter how attractive your 'model' guy is if he feels the same way about himself and if the 'average' guy is confident in his looks then the 'average' guy will probably have to initiate contact.
