Girls-if you saw a busker you really fancied, would you approach him?

Just wondering if it's because people are scared or maybe i'm just ugly?

Let me know, females :smile:

This, and let me guess. Are you in your 40s, posing younger, about to release an album and make it big as a musician? :holmes:
I have to admit, I think I'd be a little scared..

Or because busking makes you appear poor. Might take talent but your still asking for people's spare change

Most buskers are perfectly nice people, hell they often own houses and have families and do it for the fun rather than the spare change, I know a couple and have a chat when I see them in town.

I don't doubt that. Just saying its not the way they would appear to people who don't know them
i wouldn't, don't know anyone who would.
erm no mainly because I don't like being approached in the street.

no, wouldn't approach a busker, even if i fancied him
but i wouldn't approach a guy in a normal situation anyway :colondollar:
We once bought bouquets of roses and were giving flowers to strangers (looking back probably a little strange... but it was fun and there isn't much else to do in Winchester), and my friend gave a rose to a busker. He then invited her to one of his gigs...
Cute. They saw eachother for a bit but it didn't work out.

But so yeah, some girls clearly would.

Why not, what stops you? Fear of rejection?

So because you don't like being approached in the street, you assume nobody else does?

Out of interest, why don't you like it?

No, fear of rape.
No, never.

I wouldn't say that. There's been loads of threads on this before but I'd say the majority of girls don't appreciate being approached in the street.

For me, I just don't like it, it feels like I'm being hounded. I'm much more at ease being approached in a bar /pub.

How are you exactly going to get raped in a busy city centre where people busk? Quite an irrational fear, aye?

Why would I? I'm not desperate enough to make passes at random strangers in the street, whether they're good looking or not.
