Woman asking out a man

[Gemby!]

Is this acceptable ?

do you think that women should ask men out or is it only appropriate for men to ask women ?

if you are a woman ( or jonno) have you ever asked a guy out ?

if your a guy has a woman ever asked you out ?

[Gripper]

It's a great idea in fact it should be compulsary at least once in a woman's life,why should it be left to the fella's all the time

[Rat Faced]

This is the 21st Century

You're peers fought for equality... so use it.

[NikkiD]

Of course it's acceptable. I've asked a few guys out on dates. It's all gender stereotyping really. Most guys I know would be immensely flattered at being asked out instead of having to do the asking.

[manker]

Not only do I think it is acceptable, I think it is preferable.

These days it's pretty much a two way street. Always has been too as far as I recall, even in School.

Yeah!!! what she said :flowers:

[Emdee]

Perfectly acceptable IMO.

I wouldn't mind if it happened to me.

[ruthie]

It's perfectly fine. sometimes, it alleviates pressure on men, cause of old societal norms dictating they do the asking.

[Gemby!]

well this sucks , everyone thinks its acceptable ?!?!?!

wheres the traditionalists ? i want a debate !

That's true.

I've been directly approached at a bar. I wasn't complaining :01:

[RPerry]

Acceptable to me too, but for some reason I usually do all the asking

[ruthie]

Well, I think men and women are equally afraid of rejection, cause it sucks. I've asked men out..never been a problem.

[Gemby!]

dam you new age kids ! i want aggression i want conflict, but instead i get people agreeing.

shame on you all :nono:

ps. i agree :P :01:

[Gripper]

Good for you Ruthie I tell ya there should more liberated ladies around :w00t:

[ruthie]

well , I understand that it can be awkward. For me, it wasn't. Then again, I was a teen in the mid to late super 70's. You know, back in the olden days.

He's a good mod, must have been the board :huh:

[Rat Faced]

No

I posted exactly the same, except for one word, immediatly after her :unsure:

[Gemby!]

lets just blame the brand new highly dodgey layout of the board :)

[Robert00000]

In school i was asked out by girls more often than i asked them out. When i turned 14 girls a lot of girls started noticing me when they had ignored me before.

It was probably because i had a growth spurt at that time :01:


@ Gembs, just ask if you want a date with me :D , but not now cos i've got to go out :)

[Gemby!]

See! Rejection already ! :(

[bujub22]

it's alright in this day and age for a women to ask a man out on a date! ;)

and yes ive been ask out before :D

[(>Zero Cool<)]

Yep have to agree all is fair in love and war, it's cool for a lady to ask a gent out for a stroll along the promenade, and maybe a ice cream cone. :)

Some ladies don't really outwardly ask but flirt so blatently it's pretty much the same, I have been fortunate to have been asked out by a young lady on a couple of occasions, and on at least one occasion she wasn't even part of my family :01:

[Everose]

If it had been left up to me to do the asking, I never would have dated because I was too shy to ask.

Not that I didn't wish I could get my nerve up.

I don't think it is fair that guys have to do all the asking, and think it is great that girls do now.

[sArA]

I have never asked a guy out on a date. Its not that I feel that its wrong, but I am too scared. Maybe thats why I spent almost 4 years without a boyfriend. :dry:

:( that's to bad sara ,but i remember a thread along time ago were u were jus picky or had high standards in a man ,which is not bad either !

[sArA]

Good point..... :D


edit: funny how what you were looking for can sometimes be right under your nose where its almost too close to see isn't it... ;)

still not entirely comfortable with being 'with someone' tho....

[hobbes]

It is for girls to demonstrate interest, it for guys to ask them out.

Girls have always "asked" guys out by their body language and eye contact.

If you call a guy up and ask him out he will always say "yes" unless you are odious.

Why? He thinks he has the upper hand and will use you for sex.

She looks "good enough to fuck" is the reasoning they will use.

There is nothing wrong with asking a guy out, in fact, my female friend is married to a guy she asked out, but for the youngsters out there, this will end in a bad way for the woman.

A smile, eye contact, helping to prolong a conversation and un-necessary physical contact are all the clues a guy needs to ask you out.

Since you never actually committed an overt act, you can still maintain the upper hand.

A good trick to get his attention is to bump into him by "mistake". You can read his reaction to the situation. Even a shy guy will give you a look. Complete disinterest means exactly that.

I used this on a girl I was unsure about, and it worked big time. She was completely disinterested :(

[Gemby!]

What about women asking men to marry them ?

[DanB]

What about women asking men to marry them ?


Okay, I will :D

if you are a woman ( or jonno) have you ever asked a guy out ?

if your a guy has a woman ever asked you out ?
I haven't read any of this thread, so just responding to the original.

Gemby, if you wait for the guy it mostly ain't gonna happen. I've gone to fairly extreme lengths to track down a guy I fancied, I didn't get knocked back. :D Any of the times I did it. I wouldn't have my last 3 kids if I'd waited for a guy to make the first move. :blink: Oh, there's a thought I won't persue.

Guys are chickenshit mostly. Of course I am an Aussie and I know from chatting to my English mates on here that we are way more impulsive. Just go for it, the worst thing that can happen is they will say no, and you'd be surprised how rarely that happens. :)

Oh look! I did read back a little. Don't worry about Hobbes, he has a broomstick up his ass and he hates women. :flowers: :D

[Adster]

The way I see it the only way I will find somebody now is if I ummmm just get to know a girl and something just happens

problem is I can't regain trust anymore with woman its all in my head

[Biggles]

I think it is wonderful that there is a much more even balance on these responsibilities these days.

However, it was my experience that girls often decided you were going to ask them out long before you thought it was your idea. :blink:
