This is so many levels of wrong there isn't enough room on this entire forum to list them all.
Women have the same troubles with dating as men do and some men and women have more troubles than other men and women.

Then don't ask anyone out and move along in your life, problem solved.

It's unnatural if you make it that way.....


No one accomplishes anything without taking risks and surviving a few fails.

It's only unnatural to you as you've got absolutely no idea on how it's done mate ....

For the rest of mankind it's unnatural NOT to ask someone they like out.....

I think it would be wise to get straight to the point and don't beat around the bush. Especially if you're around the same age as me which I'll be turning 30 in a few more months.

I never ask out women I like. Too terrifying. I've done it once, 13 yrs ago. She said yes, but meant no. I had known her for a while from school. My experience with her would prohibit me from ever seeking a date anymore.

So what you wait for them to ask you out then mate?

Or just ones you don't like?

It's refreshing to be asked out in a straight-forward way. In my life, it didn't happen nearly often enough, usually, the guys had a "line" that he thought was cute or clever.

Here's how my husband asked for our first date: "May I call you? Because I'd like to take you out" then after I gave him my number, he called me to confirm the date and time. The rest is history.

So simple. So refreshing. So rare.
