Girls asking guys out.

[Celista]

What's your opinion on this? I'll admit I've never done it, but a friend of mine mentioned that she asked someone out today (someone that she knew from her graduate school classes) and it got me wondering as to how guys would take this. My line of thinking has always been that if a guy was interested, he would be the one doing the asking.

What do you guys think?


Edit: loving the thread responses! thanks guys.

I would love it, i'm way too afraid to ask anyone out

[Independent voter]

Fine by me. I would probably go out with her even if I wasn't attracted to her though, just because I know what it's like to be told no, believe me I know.

[Calzaeth]

If you want something, fucking go for it, regardless of your gender. Really, leaving it up to guys simply means there is a bigger chance that nothing happens. Now if BOTH genders could take responsibility for making something happen, more people would go on dates!

Also, initiative is sexy as fuck.

[Super Kami Dende]

It would be nice. Since always having to be the one that initiates whilst also being the side that gets more harshly rejected means most guys just end up giving up.

Women always talk about guys being oblivious to signals and shit which can ALL be easily avoided by Females actually asking guys out instead of always just waiting.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

You can take your own logic right there and flip the genders and it still stands up (Well, unless you view it differently just because the genders are swapped, which is kinda...well let's not go there).

Some people are just dense, and they don't pick up on any signs that the other party is actually interested. If it's the guy that's dense, so be it, then the girl can easily step up and make it clear if she wants to.

Personal example time also though, I'd be afraid of ruining a friendship if the feelings aren't reciprocated, so I'd be deterred from asking just because of that.

Had it happen a couple of times, both times i've accepted, mainly because the confidence they showed in asking me out made me see them in a different light.

You are a smart man.

[G3istly]

I imagine a fair number of guys would like that. Not that it would ever happen to me but I would not simply because I do not want to have to deal with rejecting someone.

[Jotaux]

I am terrible at picking up on signals so its better if the girl is just straight forward. If a girl asks me out it must mean she really likes me which makes me feel awesome and confident.

[Gaarashatan]

ive nvr asked anyone out, but ive had 3 girls ask me out . its not all cracked up to be imo, i find myself wishing it was i who had done it

[breadisfunny]

it almost never happens.

[Crissi]

It's cool. Not something I could do as I have a fairly big fear of rejection which anxiety makes worse.

[Jester Joe]

Where is poll, you let us down Celista.

[Breccia]

Why wouldn't they? C'mon, let's get with the equality already.

Can I still add one? I don't see it in the edit option.

nope it's too late. you have failed celista. i give this thread a d- for draenei minus. that's worse than a f celista.

[Gaarashatan]

I think we should take the initiative more often, lest we insist on maintaining a double standard so many of us vocally bitch about, but tend to prefer when it's practised. Being alpha isn't something restricted to males.

indeed, even some men like to be masochists to the alpha woman
