To approach or not to approach that is the question lol

Ok so I was getting a lot of different answer as 2 if girls should approach guys... Some say I don’t want a girl approaching me because I like 2 be the one doing the chasing...While others are like its refreshing 2 have a girl approach. I don’t know which is correct because either one hasn’t been working out for me. When i ask guys out they think I'm 2 forward so that doesn’t work out. When I wait for the guy 2 come 2 me it’s never somebody I like or he sends his friend. Which 4 me personally is a no no because I want to get 2 know you not your friend we shouldn’t need n interpreter lol I don’t know if I spelled that right. What do you guys have 2 say on this?
