Why is it so hard for women to say "would you like to go on a date with me" ? (children, interested)

Personally, I'm with Mark Twain, I don't trust ppl who say they've never made a mistake.

Better than trusting the Village Idiots.

Samuel Clemens is and has been a favorite of mine. His Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is quite the commentary on the force of ignorance that anyone trying to change a Society to be more enlightened would have to put up with.

As for admitting mistake, somehow that went out of fashion years ago. Possibly with the rise of the Lawyer/Political classes. If you admit fault you will probably be sued and lose in court or at the Ballot box.

Sure, why should they be accountable.

Are you kidding? I asked my prom date out (which he thanked me for taking the burden of him asking me), my best guy friend's best friend(which he was so flattered),on new years I asked a net friend to come to a new years eve party (which he was shocked, yet enjoyed the party), and asked my son's father out. (Which he is Korean and was kinda overwhelmed with this crazy Irish chick.) lol

Maybe I'm backwards but I have never asked a man out, nor do I see it in my near future.

You are the MEN, be a MAN and put yourself out there if you want a chance with me.

(BTW, I have no problem if women want to ask a man out - it's just not for me).

I like strong, confident males; and if you have an interest in me you will make the effort. I will "flirt" and be friendly, and encourage you..... but if you do not consider me worth the thought of rejection... well then... I am not worth the effort. And if I'm not worth that to you - then I'm not really interested.

Want to help me work on my rap? I need to work on my barter skills when I don't have enough money.

I see your point, and though I agree....some men just don't have the apples to ask a lady out. They want to....but fear is a big wall. I have been told no before or not interested, and I just see you as a friend. I feel horrible, wonder why I even bothered, question what was wrong with me, make nonsense excuses, and so forth. But at least it was done and over with, and I tell myself now I know.

One should NEVER regret putting ones self out there. No one wants to get to the end of the road and look at opportunities missed. For ME, I just have no interest in males who don't have the "apples". I'm an "apples required" kinda gal. /lol

I think women would have better luck with relationships if they used us for sex until we want a relationship, regardless of how long it takes.

What happened to more open communication and being an better help-meet?

Many women want to just love us and just be with us; when we have enough money.
