I have a couple of times........but only recently did I ask out a relative stranger. (Someone I just met in a cafe). The other times were people I was reasonably well acquainted with. Definitely not easy!

any relationships that turned out to be successful, long-term, in which the woman did the initiating, first move, asking out first?

I am in the heart of a major cit though, and the dating scene and etiquette could be substantialy different in the boonies.

I agree wholeheartedly, and was starting to think that too. I'm with someone and I got asked out in front of her once. It was in a bar. Some girl from highschool came up and started flirting with me for like an hour until my girl finally said, "excuse me, he is my boyfriend"..In the almost eight years I have been with the same person, I couldn't honestly tell you how many girls have tried to get with me. And no I'm not saying this because I think I'm all that thread. It's just a fact. Still get asked out alot and since about sixteen not much has changed. And I agree with you! Anymore I think girls have more bal ls than men. All these men that don't know how to even talk to women. Women have definately become more aggressive, which I think is good. You should go after what you want weather your a man or a women..Guys who don't think this happens, just aren't getting asked out. Plain and simple.

Some of you guys need to post on the "I just wanted to encourage women to..." (ask men out) thread. The guys there don't believe it's very common for women to do that.

Me.
Twice. Including the relationship I'm in now.

But I already stated that earlier in this thread. Reading is fundamental, people.

yeah because too many girls argue, say that relationships are bound for failure, will not be as good, will not last as long if the girl does the approaching, asking out, etc.
