Raena, no matter what happened/happens with guy(s) you've asked out, the important thing here is that you tried. As I've said before, I think it's great when women take the initiative & don't make the guy do all the work all the time. After all, you never know what will happen until/unless you make the attempt.

Also, I'm of the belief (that other guys may not agree with) that if a guy is interested when a woman asks him out - he will show that interest. In other words, a woman asking a guy out is not a turn-off to most guys - and, if it is, those guys don't know what they're missing out on

No problem - just wanted to make it clear that I support what you did 100%, and wish more women would do the same thing. It would be great if women will read what you've done & it inspired them to ask guys out - instead of waiting for guys to ask them out.

Unfortunately, the idea of women initiating conversations/dates with guys is still a foreign concept to many women (and men) - despite the fact that we're now in the second decade of the 21st century....very backwards...

I don't think a majority of men have a problem with being asked out but what your commonly hear is where a woman asked one guy out and she got rejected now it's the men's job to approach them which makes this their problem not ours.

I'm not giving up, was a bit sad, but luckily I bounce back.

To the OP:

He could just have low self-esteem and genuinely not understand what a woman could find attractive about him.

I don't think it was that. He knew me.Highschool, college, and worked together. I assume he isn't attracted to me.

He's still friends with me on fb. Which I have no idea why.If I had an unwanted dude hitting on me I'd probably block him.
I'm going to ask another out probably next week.Just hang as friends so I don't scare him. Lol!

Some men view women asking them out as backwards and just prefer doing the asking themselves. I feel as a man I have to make the first move and I am flattered if a woman comes up to me first but I won't accept. Women need to let men be men and let them pursue them over the other way around.
