I have always asked them out in the past. Even my prom date. It's scary and exciting all balled into one. It boost your confidence too.

I almost never ask anyone out that I don't know in some way. But when I have Ive gotten the "are you talking to me?" bewildered look when I have cold called. Only slightly awkward
That's another thing. I've always been afraid of approaching a guy who might be taken- how awkward and embarassing would that be.

You mean not all guys think girls who ask them out are desperate? That's awesome! but how do you approach a guy and aak him out without coming across as desperate. That's my problem. I want to be able to do that but not look like a desperado!

If women are to get used to asking men out, then they better get used to getting turned down. Men learn this early and hopefully keep trying.

Not to be insulting but this sounds like virgin talk. The system works well as is.

Same as guys ask girls out. Make small talk, chat for a while? if you catch him doing an activity, like playing a round of pool at a pub or something, ask if you can play. When I do stuff like that, I don't mind being talked to.


It's not like I bite... hard

I think everyone should do what they are comfortable with. One of my girlfriends was just staying with me - and we were talking about dating. She said that she is almost always the one to do the asking. I have asked out guys on occassion - but usually they have asked me out first. If someone is really shy or just more reserved and doesn't feel comfortable asking someone out (a man or woman) - I don't think they need to feel pressured to do so. And not to generalize - but for me and many of my friends anyway - we need to get to know someone a little bit before we are interested in someone - so we aren't very likely to go up to someone at a bar and hit on them. When I was single - I pretty much only dated guys that I already knew to some extent.

Point being - I think people should do what they are comfortable with - whether it's doing the asking or being asked.

No, not at all. There's a difference between asking someone out and being desperate. Desperate is trying is clinging onto someone who's OBVIOUSLY not into and giving you the time of day, which results into being obsessed. Just simply ask him out, the worst he can do is say no in which you go on to the next! Don't worry, okay

ahahaha. No, I'm not a virgin if that's what you're trying to say. I've had many sexual experiences, okay. I'm just not afraid to talk about what I feel.
