"There are certain people I wouldn't mind approaching me" - When teenage Serena Williams adorably encouraged boys to ask her out for a date

Serena Williams once admitted that while she liked to appear unapproachable to intimidate her opponents, she would occasionally make an exception—especially for boys. She shared this in a lighthearted manner when she was just 17 years old.

Williams told the media in 1999 (via Sports Illustrated):

"I'd prefer it for people to regard me as unapproachable. Of course, there are certain people I wouldn't mind approaching me if you know what I mean."
