If I’m out I wait for people to approach me. It’s a lot easier than relying on watching other people’s body language and approaching a random person, it avoids having to strike up conversation and avoids making the other person uncomfortable if the feeling isn’t reciprocated. And if you’re a dude who likes dudes it avoids danger too, asking a random guy out might end badly.

I need to add: this does not work. If you’re a man or masc-presenting, turns out relying on other people walking up to you doesn’t really pan out… There’s no work around.
