I'm just curious if a guy I'm interested in would be flattered or think I'm a crazy.
I went to highschool and college with him and noticed on fb he is still single.
I recently went out with a guy friend at the casino's and everyone thought we were a couple. It boost my confidence that I still got it.
Guys would you think horrible things or think wow she's bold I like some one who is assertive?
Most of the women I have dated approached me and asked me out at some point after the initial approach. I love it when women approach me, but I am more used to this than most I suppose. Go for it!

I think it depends on the guy.
When I was late teens/early 20's I had a few women show a lot of interest in me. Great right? Problem is that up until then women never showed interest in me. I kind of went through all of high school and early college with pretty much having one date.
When these 3-4 women showed interest in me, I was so dumb and didnt handle it well, mainly due to inexperience and my own self doubts. At that age, if things happened with a woman on my terms, where I thought out asking her out, I could plan the whole thin out. But a woman coming on to me? Completely freaked me out cuase I was so inexperienced.
These days, if it happened, It would be awesome and I would handle smoothly and it would he fun.
If the guy is a ladies man, or a least experienced he would likely appreciate being asked out. I know I would, and many of my friends would as well.
But, some guys even is they are past their 20's may respond differently. Maybe he has a gf he doesnt advertise, maybe he is awkward still, maybe his ego is so big he thinks he is better than you, maybe he is old school and feels the man is the only one who persues. Who knows.
My husband always says that looking back, he's pretty sure a number of girls were interested in him in HS/college and he was just never aware of it, until later when he'd been with a woman or two and knew what the "cues" and "hints" were. I always joke/hyperbole on his experiences: "...and so she sat in my lap and licked her lips, I figured maybe the place was just out of chairs and she'd just eaten some yogurt and had some left on her lips...?"
You may need to be a hair more blunt...not "can I climb aboard?" or anything, but straight-up. How did you ask him out? I mean did you literally just write in a friendly way, "I always wished we'd gotten to know one another better and I'd love it if you'd join me for coffee" or something that was directly asking him out?
Yeah I know you do..... But surely you still consider it a compliment?
...and that's great if the guy thinks it's a compliment...but if he STILL won't go out with you because HE wants to do the asking, then that's irrelevant....

This is certainly true for dating purposes, but OTOH, who wants to have to tip-toe around someone and not act like herself around him (i.e. pretend she'd NEVER do such a thing as ask a guy out)? IMO if Raena, or anyone else, wants to ask someone out, does, and the person rejects her simply because she asked, then they're not meant for one another anyway. No harm done and she can then move along.
I will be watching to see what happens, though. Good luck, Raena!

And there it is!!!! ..... I've been awaiting ^^^^. LOL ( )
It's definitely a worthy moment from MY perspective but as we both know..... Not all blokes are the same.... For better or worse

Insecure guys will probably have a problem with it. They will do a lot of second guessing.
Guys who are more secure and confident will generally have no problem with it.
So, it depend on the kind of guy you want. If you want a confident, secure guy, go for it. If a guy has a problem with it, the will mean you've just screened out an insecure guy that you didn't want anyway.

How does that make a man insecure? What if he just prefers to make the first move?
