"First, assume the best of people. In particular, be patient with men who may need help feeling comfortable around you. Most of them want to see you succeed and want to do the right thing, but they often feel uncomfortable and don’t know what they can do to help. You can assist them in becoming more helpful to you. For example, the next time one of them complains they are too busy/stressed, then offer “Hey, you’re probably getting more invitations or responsibilities than you have time for. If you want to bounce some of those invitations my way, I can take them on.” Also, I recommend dressing slightly more professional, as it helps them treat you a bit more seriously, and not like you’re out on a date."
