This is why many people hate being single. I usually contend that if you can't meet people at the gym, school, or work (or church, if you do that sort of thing) then you are short on options. One of the things that most people (guys, I guess, since they do more of the approaching) don't get is accurately assessing the reaction to the initial approach. You can often tell in the first 10 seconds whether someone is into you, but too often we ignore their indifference because we dig them. It is easier if you run into someone periodically, like at a coffee shop of the gym, that generally makes people feel more comfortable.
