writes:Hello everyone, this question is more for the ladies. When I'm out I have mentioned before that from time to time I see a woman that I would like to approach. What holds me back many times is if I see a ring. If that's the case I won't approach. If there is no ring, I still wonder about boyfriend/possibly married also. Obviously none of us can know for certain, and I wouldn't expect anyone to have that insight. However, I'm just looking for some advice on how to handle the issue or how I should proceed going forward, given this anxiety I have. Thank you! Reply to this Question

Trust me, if a woman is engaged/married/has a bf, then she will let you know. So no need to stand on the other side of the street in oblivion. Go ask.

Having said that - I have been single for a while & wear no ring - but it doesn't stop men chatting up the 'taken' ladies instead. Sadly in this day and age 'commitment' doesn't mean much to some people!

 I don't wear rings, I haven't since my wedding band got stolen - I did get a replacement... but it just didn't feel comfortable wearing and... I'm not a jewelry kind of person.
So yes, ASK. It's really not that hard to slip that question into a conversation. And if it is a little obvious, so what? if she is single and interested she will know YOU are too.
win-win - right?

You just have to ask. And good on you for caring whether she's taken.
