I know. It really does bug. Women have been socially conditioned to believe that they're desperate when they initiate it (which I mentioned in another topic) which is why most won't make a move. I think both sexes should be able to initiate without anyone assuming anything.

I guess it would depend on how much I liked him. If I thought he was "the one," I'd wait a long time.

I don't think I would wait. I figure, if he likes me he'll ask me out. If he doesn't ask, he's not interested and, therefore, neither am I. I'll go out with the next guy who asks me because it proves he's interested.

What if the guy was really interested and gave you lot of hints but he did not ask you out because you might reject him?

I've asked this question before and what you normally hear is "...well, I am the woman here so he should ask me out...it is a man's job to ask me out...a guy that doesn't take the initiative is no good...if he's a real man, he will ask me out...I might look as a bad girl if I dare myself to ask him out...what if I fail when I ask him out? no way, I won't ask him out..." and so on .

If I really liked someone, I'd ask him out right away. I don't like waiting around.

Cool! So how would you do that (ask for his number and give yours, send an email, send a text, in person, etc.)?

Depends on the situation. If I meet someone in person, I'll ask him if he'd like to hang out sometime (keep it casual but let him know that I'm interested at the same time...and that I'm NOT looking for a sexual fling). I don't do the online dating thing, and I'm not into social networking, so that really doesn't apply to me.

That’s good to keep your motives clear. When you say “I would ask a guy out” you mean as of telling him straight something like “So hey, how about this Saturday at X time? I want to take you to X place, you’ll love it” kind of thing, right?
