English term or phrase: Put oneself out there
This colloquial expression has two main meanings. First is to get to know people and try to date new people, talk to people, say hello when you see someone you like. You don't have to wear a sign or be too flirty, just meet new people. A boy might like you but be too shy to even say hello. You can give them the courage to ask you out by just smiling at them and that's what putting yourself out there really means. E.g. (Ugh!!):-
-'You gotta be like - "hey yo, what's up, I'm single baby, why don't you and I go out sometime?'
The second is in the context of advertising oneself:- "He wants to put himself out there as a tutor." In other words to advertise oneself, make oneself known in a field. Any help with both:
