Be the kind of person you would want a relationship with. This applies to friendships as well as romantic relationships.
Also, don't be afraid to shoot your shot, OP. You ever been to a trap range? The clay pigeons are gonna keep flying even if you're not shooting at them. The only way you stand any chance of hitting one is to aim in front of it and pull the trigger. If you miss, it's no biggie. Another one will come flying along shortly.
If I may respond to this and no disrespect intended when I say this: I do not agree at all with this sentiment, to just shoot your shot. With all due respect, but if you're not getting signals from her it will only serve to embarrass you.
In the mating game it's up to the guys to advertise interest and the gals to make a choice.
Women are pros at dealing with endless expressions of interest, they rarely know how to show/express it. Just be respectful and let go of expectations going in.
Don't let the endless whining seen on social media deter you, it's mostly lies.
If men bore the babies and women had to do the mating advertising, the human race would be extinct.
seriously, attract don't chase is how you stay alone.
love is the most common resource on earth, for anyone even remotely healthy/attractive as a partner. repeated exposure, common interests/experiences to bond over, and a willingness to learn/grow is all you need to fall for anyone.
pursue, but just take rejection like an adult. no means no etc. first couple times sting but it gets easier with time/practice
