How often has the girl made the first move to initiate something? Not just at a club or something but anywhere?

Occasionally women do talk to me, but more in a friendly way. Never been asked out on a proper date...

On one instance a girl kind of made a move on me first this was like a year ago. I had a science class and the first day of class the professor put us in a group of 4 to finish a lab I got paired with the people next to me who were 2 guys and 1 chick. During the whole semester I barely talked to her but she was clearly a very nice person I would always say hi to her and stuff. We only had a few conversations here and there and the last day of that class we had a final. Everyone arrived early as hell and the prof made us sit in order of how we came in and ironically she came in right after me. So we had a good 10 minutes before the test to look over our notes etc before the prof gave us our test. I was reviewing with her asking her questions she asked me back etc then out of nowhere she kind of shyly asks me if i have a facebook so I wrote down my name for her 2 look me up.

That was when it finally hit me that she had a crush on me, she was outspoken and all but I think when it comes to crushes and stuff she gets shy so she was very subtle about it. I had forgotten that I had my facebook settings like on maximum private so if she did look me up she couldn't find me but I realized that like a month later =X

I've asked tons of girls for their facebook and vice versa and it's never been construed as 'asking out', but since I don't know the circumstances I can't say.

Hahaha... more than I'm admitting on a public forum! I usually steer around it because I am a shy gentlemen!

Yea she didn't ask me out but she kind of made the first move. Guys usually have to do everything first and imo its kind of brave of a woman to put their feelings out like that. A lot of woman just accept its a guys job to do everything so they just wait and wait and potentially lose their possibility of sparking things up.

ive never been asked out directly by a girl. But ive heard 2nd hand from someone that someone liked me. Or its been implied to me by someone who likes me. I think girls are more implicit in their behavior when liking someone. They rarely ask someone out directly.

So its a fine line between just being friendly, and flirting with you. And it takes a substantial level of social perception skills (reading cues, body language, tone in voice) to get the hint. However many men struggle with this LOL

I used to be HORRIBLE at reading signs and stuff so I missed on a lot of chances. Now that I actually know how to read if a girl is interested they stop being interested =X.

Yeah I know, those stupid romantic comedies or tv shows seem to be about a bunch of gal pals bitching about how that gorgeous hunk doesn't notice her, blah blah.

AS in " You're cute, what is your phone number'' type of approach? Aaaaahh... In real life, I haven't been approached in that type of way by a girl since 2008(high school senior). If online counts, I been approached on a forum in 2009. Instead of asking me for my number, she asked for my email. And I had several flirting moments on myspace and facebook. The most recent was 2 months ago. Too bad none of them didn't go past sexual messages back and forth.

They talk to me now and then, but nothing more than pleasantries or a question about class.

I wonder what the point is some times...
