Does it mean women are always afraid? since they don't ask men out. This is a two way street but women seem to rather take the comfy seat.

Maybe a woman will do more than just sit there and by the time you decide to "man up" (since bravery, risk taking, etc. seems to be a man virtue, or women make it sound like it) it will be too late and will be going out with another girl.

I guess this proves my point that women, generally, rather have men ask them out, take care of them, and so on.

I agree somewhat with what you're saying. I think if you're interested in someone and they seem interested, why not stick your neck out and make inquiries to see if they are interested?

Makes no sense to me to make someone do all the work and you won't meet them halfway.

I dont know about women. I only know about me. If a man likes me , he is going to ask me out. If I go and ask him out, I will upset the natural courting process. I do not ask men out. It is a personal preference, if women do good for them.

I do not like it. So

well update: We meet with another girl and he came over and we were talking about my house. So he said "Are you subliminally inviting me over" and I was like "NO"

And then I mentioned I want to place pavers in my new patio and he said " I can do that for you if you clean my office" and I said, I am not cleaning your office....

So in other words, if you want to see me outside of here, you are going to have to ask me out. I wont be doing the asking.

But I do think he likes me.

You're blowing it, Carol. When he said about inviting him over, I would have laughed and said Yeah, come on over or something like that.

And again about the pavers, I would have laughed and said, yeah, let me get cleaning your office right now and let me know when you're coming to my house in a joking way.

Don't be so prim and proper. Joke with him. You have to meet him halfway, Carol, he is giving you hints that he likes you and you're giving him NO HINTS at all.

I am giving him hints... I am being nice... He has to build up some confidence and ask me out on a date... If it is too easy for him he will not appreciate it as much

So in a way I am doing him a favor.

You both work in an office? You know the HR department well? If it goes wrong it could be a problem, if it goes well then you might have a new BF. If you have other office friends there you should get a few to hang out and ask him to go too. I mean you can ask some people to hang out right? get a drink after work.

Or you can email me his email address give me your name and I'll let him know whats up! lol

He has to ask me out on a date... period.

You guys need to read the rules

"lets hang out" is not a date

If he likes me enough he will ask me out. If not , next
