When I met my husband, I was with a friend of mine. Meeting black men with this particular friend always caused a quandry for me. Reason being, is that I'm very fair (black/puerto rican mix). You really can't get much lighter than me and still be black unless you're an albino. She's mixed (black/white), but looks completely white.
There is just something about a white girl that black men(or the men/boys in my circle) just seem intrigued by. And I always maintained that any guy that would go for her over me, wasn't anybody that I wanted.
So, when we met my husband, she was doing "her" and being really flirtatious. I refused to play that game. I rode the backseat, and watched to see if he would be taken in by her 'womanly wiles". I noticed that he kept pulling me into the conversation. Anything that she said, he would try to get my opinion on it. I literally felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. I couldn't believe that a black man was resisting this girl.
After talking to the two of us (with her doing most of the talking), my husband had to leave. Before he left, he pulled me to the side and asked for my number.
All this to say, if a guy is interested enough, you really don't have to approach him or initiate a date. He'll do it.
