approaching someone? Can work both ways I guess.

I've seen someone around who intrigues me, the situation is at a sporting event watching on big screens, so we are pretty much glued to the screens most of the time. Well he is, my eyes are wandering around and catching up with my friends until the main event 🙂
I noticed him more this time around and held his stare for a few seconds for the first time. So I don't know anything about him, or even if he is available. He comes with a friend (these events are every 3 weeks) and leaves straight after the last fight. Where we are positioned, I look directly at him and vice versa he's seated himself there the last couple of times, approx 5 metres away.

I don't feel in this situation, he'd come and approach me because I am with a large group of people and we are in a cordoned off area...but we are there for several hours and it's aways on a Sunday afternoon at a local sports bar

So basically, you are wondering if he's feelin' the same heat?

In this case, if you feel he's not gonna make a move, you should just go for it.

It's not like you know him and have to talk to him on a regular basis like a coworker or something so if it all goes to hell, you're not making your life awkward.

Confidence is a muscle and right now you have a chance to work it out. ; )

He notices you noticing him lol

So you've def. done your part to show that you're interested.

You're right. He probably feels intimidated by the fact that you're surrounded by a group of people, but the interest in you is still there which is why he can't stop himself from noticing you each & every time

So remove that barrier for him. Go over & say something. Although most guys are used to rejected, it's a whole new story when he feels he's gotta get through a tribe of people in order to get to you lol

If you don't want to go over alone, 1 of your friends over with you. Just 1. Say something witty like, "I couldn't help but to come over here. There's just something about you that caught my eye. Maybe you can help me figure that out!" & then batt your eyelashes! Say something corny like that lmao

OR say something about the sports team/score to break the ice. Now if he doesn't bite the damn bait at that point, then he might have a girlfriend lol But if he's single & if he's truly interested, he'll not only bite the bait but he'll be appreciative that you removed the barrier for him

Go get him girl =)

MMA and the crowd I'm with has one of the fighters in it which is why we have cordoned off area and possibly why he wouldn't enter.

Won't be for a few weeks now because we have a live fight to go to for the next one and it'd be doubtful that I'd see him there if he has tickets, the crowd being in the 1000's but wouldn't that be a sign if it did!!

Yeah, think next time I see him, I'll go to the bar when he does and talk about my friend haha

He's taken or married but not dead. He's allowed to look.

I've been sitting with my friends the whole time so we haven't crossed paths at all. I noticed him sitting there once before, when his food came out 3 mini hamburgers (this is what grabbed my attention at first lol) the other day he ordered those cute little burgers again, this is when I really looked at the person.

Yes he maybe taken, and he may not have noticed me either until the other day and it would definitely take huge balls to walk into where I am sitting and start talking to me in front of a UFC fighter and all his friends but I'll break the ice when there is an opportunity and see where it goes from there. Opening the door doesn't mean I'm going to fall at his feet and do all the work, it's just showing that I have an interest as Kry has stated.

Sounds like you need to separate yourself from your group and mingle.

Why do you say that? Given that it might be a bar, it is a Sunday afternoon sharing food and drinks with friends and it's where I go regularly to watch sport throughout the whole year. If it's not the MMA with my friends then in winter I watch the football. An interest that I have so therefore a potential partner would also share. In fact my whole life revolves around either sports or gyms.

Curious whether you would think that a gym might be a better place to meet someone or what might be the best places?

ohh that makes sense, sweethearts. You are into sports, so you would be attracted to men who are "sporty" or into sports. Youd have alot in common.

that's exactly similar situation a (giving an example) wife of a professional athlete. She is attracted to the most sporty men, who love outdoors and is outgoing and she always ends up with a sporty man. She ended up marrying a professional athlete.

you might meet someone who is a pro, perhaps in football or tennis, or otherwise.

good luck, sweethearts.
