answer:This probably explains why I don’t like being in bars: creepy people coming up and trying to talk to me while I try to brush them off and mind my own business. Wish they would mind theirs. I’m sitting alone with a drink and my phone out not looking at anyone, does it look like I want to talk to strangers?!? And no, I’m not conventionally attractive. I think they’re just desperate. Fellas, do yourselves and everyone a favour and read body language: if a woman has OPEN body language and looks your way/smiling/looking around, then chances are she is open to you approaching her. If she’s talking to someone else intently, keeping her eyes on her phone screen, having “closed” body language, or answers your inane questions with one word answers, then leave her alone. I don’t understand the desire to try and force conversation with people next to you at a bar. Many bars have a nice atmosphere all by themselves.
