Hey There

I am just curious to how some of you guys would feel if some gurl took the intiative to ask you up to hang out, go for a coffee the first time chatting on plenty of thur msn? would you feel flattered, be turned off, say yes to it for the hell of it and see where things will go with the girl who asked you out to hang out, go for a coffee the first time chatting thur msn or on plentyoffish. Some of your opinions would be appreciated.

Thanx

I myself would be interested in meeting this person since tha is what I'm looking for in a woman. One that knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. Meeting for coffee is great idea cause it give you a chance to talk and get to know each other better without all of the distractions.

Hell I like assertive women and think that gender
role play is messed up.
Who makes those damn rules anyway?

It would depend on the connection I felt. If I felt a connection and she beat me to the punch on asking her out, heck yeah I'd say "okay". If I wasn't feeling it, I wouldn't ask and I wouldn't accept. Just me though. I'm sure there are some who would go anyways to see if they could get in her panties.

I do like a woman who can take the initiative, but if it's sudden and out of the blue, I might have to reconsider and wait a bit while longer before getting better acquainted.

If personality is somewhat there and if I find you attractive, and you asked me out. Only question I would have is where and when. I am pretty good at blowing good oppurtunities for dates, so when I do get one I try to make sure they enjoy just as much as I do.

Would you be bringing that knife you are holding in your profile pic?

Go for it, as a woman, you have a better chance of finding what you really want in a guy by finding him rather than choosing from what messages you. I know if i was even somewhat attracted to a woman that messaged me first i'd say lets go out

Wow thanks a lot guys I always thought if we women did this on the first chat we would come across as desperate, needy or clingy,
God is it great to be back on this site.

Nope. Negative. Not interested.

There is a comfort zone that needs to be felt, before one would go to the level of being stood up, put in an uncomfortable situation with someone that you had little in common with.

Conversation is so much more interesting in person if you have some basis to build upon. In my estimation, there is a great part of anticipation that is forfeited when one is too spontaneous. But, then I am not 17 anymore. I am sure I wouldn't have uttered such words back then.

OP: If I was at all interested, then hell yes. If I wasn't interested at all, I would turn her down... not because she asked... that's a point in her favor. Just because I don't see much point in dating someone I'm uninterested in.

OP, if there was a connection, I'd say yes. If there wasn't, I'd say, "Hey thanks. I know that took some guts, but I'm just not interested" or somesuch.

Depends on the distance and what else I knew about her but I would probably go for it.

Well I would obviously say yes. But really. It depends on the person though. Like you could like me but your profile I may not like. Although some people say to heck with it and just go for it. In other words. I would say yes of course. Why? Is there someone you want to meet off the bat? go for it. he may be in for a surprise of his life and it will make his day if you ask first because after all not all girls ask first. At least not in my lifetime so far lol.

Asking women out is a man's job. It's a woman's job to make it EASIER for him to do this... She can do this by saying

"ooh i love starbucks/mini putting/bubble tea/movies/ etc... I haven't done or been there in like forever! I hardly know anyone who would want to take me to do that."

lol

IF he can't take the hint he's a loser/idiot anyway just toying with you for the ego rub.

It matters who it is; if it's a girl that has slept with half of the bar or club then I'm moving on. If it's someone that is sincere then no problem.

I personally don't want a woman with a lot of finger prints on her.

OP:

I think most men would welcome more agressiveness from women in the dating scene. The whole "Man should make the first move" thing is old fashioned, unrealistic and wastes time.

Just to echo what other guys have said above, I'd definitely see it as a good thing (tm) .

heck, a woman been able to voice her wants, thoughts and opinions is desirable and really hot in my opinion. (And if they have brains, whoohoo hold the phone baby! :D)
