Well, I asked him because I was curious about it.

It's one thing to want it because well, you want a more assertive woman in this department. It's another to want it because your social skills are lacking, and that's the only way that you'd be able to comfortably interact with a woman.

Upshot is, if it's the latter, the suggestion to play the numbers, go where the women are and socialize won't really be useful.

Okay, but how much is riding on this?

Do you actually want to just be going out with a girl? In which case, why is it you can't ask the girl out?

If it's desperate, if you're dying to go out with someone, just waiting may not ultimately work for you, based on the fact that you've been waiting, and so far, it hasn't happened.

OTOH, if you don't take much stake in this, you could take it or leave it, then you will need to just sit there and keep waiting but I'm assuming in that case it's okay for it to take a long time or forever, is that correct?

In order to literally get asked out without doing anything at all, including indicating interest (something most of us women have to do even if we're "waiting" as you are! We don't just sit there staring blankly), then you'll have to attract physically, full stop, because there's nothing else for the woman to go on. So you'll need to make yourself as physically attractive as possible. Work out, and hard. Fix your hair. If you have bad teeth, fix them. Buy great clothes. Work on standing in a posture that looks manly and appealing without looking ridiculous and exaggerated. And so on.

I realize it depends largely on the person but I know lots of men that are flattered when a woman makes the approach.
Many years ago I took the 1st step and approached a very nice, handsome gentleman, and the end result has been a happy marriage. Next month will be our 15th anniversary and we are still very deeply in love and committed to each other.
I am so happy to hear that. Congratulations!!!

As I've mentioned in other posts, if MORE women would initiate conversations & make the first move with guys, the world would be a MUCH better place. Sure, it's definitely happened to me - but it needs to happen more often

Yes men can decide but whoever does the approaching and asking out, initiating, is NOT in the position of power of saying Yes or No to things

If neither party approaches, the answer is always "no".

The person who does the approaching is improving the probability of a "yes" result drastically. Even 1% is better than 0%.

You might be waiting a long time since the majority of women don't want to ask a man out. You're better off doing it yourself.

I have many choices as a man and I won't approach a woman I have zero attraction to.

That's nice. It's nice to want things. But wanting things doesn't mean that you will get them.

The person initiating gets to choose who they are asking.
