That term rings a bell - you must have used it before on this site.

So you think its best to approach guys with a group a friends or sending a friend to get the guy you like?

How would you feel if it was vice versa?

Hon. Im not usually this blunt but its been 13 pages. You are never going to get a date if you dont actually ask SOME body. You are 19. You dont have to marry the first person you date. You should be dating/having fun not holding auditions. So what if a girl might want kids some time in the future. Take her to the movies, enjoy each others company and move on. Consider it practice dating. If you dont want kids. Keep your Willy in your pants.

Also if you always expect the worst from people then that is what you will get. If you assume the best you generally get that too. This wont be PC but it doesnt matter what you feel on the inside. Its what you project on the outside. So Im recommending you fake it till you make it. In the beginning your smile and your attitude might be fake, but after a while it will become second nature. And one day you will find out youve changed. For the better. Besides being nice is easier. Theres way less drama. And as Ive said before being nice pizzes mean people off big time. BTDT got the T shirt.

Maybe change on some things, but not everything.

Default Sort of on topic

If a woman wanted to ask a man out, is it better to email them or ask them face to face? I am hoping you say email is fine.

I'll have to go through free dating sites where I don't have to subscribe to find my match, and send her emails and flirts.

When I was dating, in my teens and early 20's (I met my hubby in my early 20's) I almost always approached the guy. I can think of just a handful of instances when I was approached. The rest of the time, I approached the guy and asked him out or chatted him up. I didn't want to wait around for the guy to ask me--because it rarely happened.

I think my approach to this was formed in high school. I was always asking out the boys back then, because I never got asked out. I would call up boys and ask them if they wanted to go on a date!

That's how I met my hubby. Joined an online dating service in my early 20's and I was the one who contacted him.

Was the dating service free?

Now I've never approached a girl, not even asking her out because I can't take the risk of rejection. One girl did approach me back in high school, but that was it.
I don't think it is fair that a guy should feel he needs to approach a girl. I myself am really shy and under confindent, and so I would need to wait for a guy to approach me. I think that it should be the more confident person who does the approaching.
