Do women prefer if men are blatantly open about their intentions?

[ForeverHopeful1]

What I mean is, and this is when you're having your 2nd conversation with a guy, ... instead of the usual "hinting/flirting"...do you prefer for guys to just be completely open verbally and say something like: "Listen. I want you. I think you're great. You're beautiful, interesting and I want to see you".

 

What do you think of this type of approach? I love talking to women, but I find that I over talk sometimes and they lose interest. I want to start being more open, but I am afraid that this will be considered "too forward" (although I know a few women who love this straight up approach).

 

What you're doing isn't working... Why not give this a go?

I have a beautiful body and, just like most women, prefer to be appreciate for my beautiful mind instead. So hearing a guy say "I want you" won't impress me. I won't even blink.

 

Him telling me: "I find you fascinating. I want to talk to you more about... that" would make me blush and sweat .

 

oh... and no, I don't go for expressed straightforwaded-ness either. Text when you say you'll text. Call when you're supposed to call. Keep contact frequently. No games. Do this, and I'll understand you fancy me and you're interested. Works for me.

I like a man who is open and upfront. I find it to be an attractive quality because it demonstrates assertiveness. Just be direct. I enjoy the flirting aspect but the prolonged ambivalence can be too much. It's refreshing if a guy will tell me what he explicitly desires. I want him to cut the bull and tell me of his intentions: does he fancy me as a long-term partner, or a simple lay? I enjoy getting to know guys (it's important for me) but I try to make my intentions clear early. Guys can take it or leave it. I would rather know than guess.

I would be receptive to the truth, because then I can make my decision knowing all the facts. Don't swindle me man!

Personally, I prefer a direct & tactful approach. People flirt everyday to take a break from the mundane without having a direct interest for the individual. Mindfully, I don't want some strange guy approaching me & directly stating his ambition, even If he had admired from afar for awhile. Imo, if a guy really wants to know me then he would casually get an idea about who I am, then see if there's a mutual interest To go with. I have a tendency to get swept away in fanciful, fairytale, ideal occurances so I try to tread lightly & I appreciate the same in return.
