I approached a guy for the first time in my life. Was i successful?

I think that you were successful. Talking to a guy is the best way of letting a guy know that you like him. I think the reason why he asked "Do I know you? is because you may have caught him a bit off guard with how friendly you were being. You also have to remember that not every guy is super confident when it comes to talking to women. What I think you need to do now is to continue to give this guy hints that you like him and would like him to make a move on you. For instance, doing things like smiling at him and waving at him are two very warm and inviting signs. From there, you will have the opportunity to build you relationship with this guy while may ultimately lead to him asking you out. Good luck and I really hope I helped :)

I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you have the opportunity, just say “hi” when you see him. Be pleasant and if you have a chance, get him talking about himself by asking him an open ended (one that can't be answered yes or no) question like, “What do you like to do in your spare time?” Share something related to what he said and then ask him another question. If he’s a strong man he’ll eventually take the initiative and ask you out.

Could you possibly be making dating choices mainly based upon whether someone likes you and you like them? Unfortunately this approach to dating, used by most people, usually leads to a broken heart.

May I suggest that the first question to ask yourself when considering whether or not to date someone is, “Is this person a strong person?” If they’re not, no matter how much you like them, how much they like you, or how “cute” or “hot” they are, - please don’t date them. A strong person has good character (honesty, integrity, trustworthiness), displays a positive attitude (cheerful, caring, friendly, forgiving, helpful, and respectful), fulfills their responsibilities (for handling pains in a positive way, for always trying to make a good choice, for taking care of themselves, for serving others), gives their best effort, and demonstrates self-control (of their body, anger, mouth and money).

My suggestion is that you put in the effort necessary to become a strong person (if you’re not already), forget about this guy unless he’s a strong person, and eventually look for this type of guy (otherwise you are setting yourself up for a broken heart). Unfortunately this type of man is difficult to find – but save yourself the heartache and don’t settle for less.

(Please remember that you eventually want a 50 or 60 year marriage - not a 5 or 10 year marriage.)

Hope this helps!

PS The best way to get to know a strong man without dating is to participate in the activities of a community service or a school organization.
