Should women ask a guy out on a date? And if so HOW!!!!!??
Posted: 11/7/2005 9:33:07 PM
I looked and could not find, so forgive me if this is a well covered topic...BUT should the girl ask the guy out on a date? Is this considered too forward? Too agressive? And if you guys think that we should take the plunge and ask the guy out please, Please, PLEASE give me some advice on how to do this? How would you like to be asked out? What would sway you to want to date her? Or would this be a huge turn off. Need advice...time frame of opportunity is running out!!! Thanks~~

I have asked guys out, they usually don't say no. I think they are relieved sometimes, takes the pressure off them. I don't think it is too forward....I say go for it!

I'd find it a welcome and refreshing change. It is indeed very intimidating to meet someone, and the asking for the meeting is even moreso in my opinion. Taking that small bit of pressure off me might just make the other pressure a little easier to manage.

Okay Dave, but HOW would you want a girl to ask you out? Directly, or just hinting about it? Since it's already a role reversal to begin with, I don't want to blow it by seeming too agressive in my pursuit. So any suggestions on how to ask?? How to word it? I'm such a big baby when it comes to asking out a guy I have a crush on. I get all nervous....blah blah

If i were you I would hint it and if he hints it back then casually do it. Dont just go up out of the blue and ask cuz that happened to me and I didnt like her in that way and because im an idiot the reply I gave her was " Um....well.....You know..........I kinda like...bein single" So she was embarassed and I felt like a dumbass.

Personally, I think if it's going to be a role-reversal, it should be a role-reversal. The coy hinting thing is what you do when you want ME to ask YOU out. I say go for it.. worst thing that can happen is he'll say "no". That's not too bad. Us guys have to worry about the "no way you ****ing loser.. get a life.. dream on.. you ****ing wish.." those sorta things. I highly doubt that men would be quite that brutal, but who the hell knows. For what it's worth.. you're a cutie.. and if he says no.. he's retarded!

Where's the role reversal? Hasn't it been ok for women to ask men out for the like the last 15 years or so? Its much easier for women to ask men out. there's no stupid lines to negotiate. Most of the time women are smart enough to know whether or not men will accept. And like Dave said, guys don't often dish out something nasty when they refuse.

Guys more often than not will say yes regardless of how they feel about the person. Whether they just want to get laid or genuinely like them, that's the only fear a woman has in asking a guy out.

ahem, and how:

really simple

Talk to him about his interests and find something you mutually like or are interested in exploring. Compliment him on his tastes or proclaim that you really like that etc. The more you become interested in a unique interest of his- IE something other than coffee or playing pool which everyone does on a first date- the more likely he is to go out with you and have a memorable time. There's no better first date than that. you just have to find out what "that" is.

Even if he doesn't like you, if you're within his age group and take a keen interest that's unique to him, he's apt to start liking you, a lot.

I've had a few women ask me out, not a problem at all, just ask! as one of my female friends said to me once when I told her I was shy when it came to asking a woman out, "why? are you afraid they'll say no", once I realized that's the worst that could happen, I was no longer shy about it. From the other stand point if you don't ask and he doesn't catch on you may miss a great opportunity.

Yeah that works for me

Hey as a guy that hasn't even asked for a girls phone # lately yeah it makes sense because for one thing it actually allows us guys to know that a woman is interested in us , also it is 2005 people Women fly airplane, perform open heart surgery,govern foreign affairs, so there is nothing wrong with the woman making the first move.

I've been asked out by women and thought it was great.
I saw it as assertiveness on the part of the women and, I like that.
I believe that assertiveness & self confidence are closely related.
It also seems that women like that are usually intelligent and, intelligence sure as hell doesn't detract from attractiveness and/or sexiness.

I've also been with women who picked up the check and, I am not at all a cheapskate.
I can afford flowers and the better things and enjoy sharing that.

I've been fortunate in meeting some women who were really together in these ways and enjoyed their company.

So, if a woman wants to ask a man out, why not?
The way to do it seems to be just do it.

I think that the guy should always ask if he can lick the lady's lip balm off. But, I don't date.

I was initially friends with a guy and realized that i would like to pursue things a little farther. Due to the fact that I had initially told him I would like to introduce him to one of my friends and he acted not only receptive, but excited at the prospect, I wasn't sure if I should even go there. While he was friendly towards me, I could never tell if there was any interest on his part. Finally, I took a deep breath and said something silly like, "Before I introduce you to _____, can I have a chance?" I just knew he would say something like, "What?" or stutter and make excuses. Well, he surprised me. He simply said yes. You never know what you might be missing unless you ask. Go for it!

Of course you should ask me out if thats what you want.

How? Just express casual interest in meeting face to face, or enjoying an activity together, or whatever. I've found that you both develop a sense of the other person's interest level as you chat. A comment like "I love your sense of humour. Its a lot like mine! I'd love to see it in person some day". and let the other party respond.
