“Freaked out” would be going way overboard. The few times this happened to me I would say I was unprepared for it. I was just very used to being the asker.
Too funny. Logically speaking, it’s the OP who is afraid of rejection (or is shy) since she asked the question; most women just go for it or give playful hints/flirtations, at least in my past experience - even if they left it to me to be the one to officially ask. I found it was more likely they’d be the one to ask when I wasn’t interested (or I’d have already asked); a few got pretty aggressive about it in a retaliatory type of way.
l take it that would be in the US , women sound so forward there can't believe a lot of stuff l see in forums.
Here it'd be pretty rare for someone normally within my age range to ask a guy out. She might sort of hang around, show interest, flirt if she has the chance more along that type of thing. Unfortunately with older women though that's a different story all together.
l have had a few in my normal age range ask me out in one way or another though over the yrs, or try a kiss say it was at a party or or something similar. Under normal circumstances though pretty rare she will actually ask a guy out , well in my age ranges anyway, up to 50s these days- well lf l were single it would be anyway.
According to my daughter though girls will ask the guys out now, pretty funny. l worry though which has happened with her, she's asked one or two guys out but they weren't that interested, they took it up anyway but it went nowhere. lt might be old fashion advice these days dunno but l tell her if he's genuinely interested he should be showing interest and asking you out himslef.

What’s next?.. Asking you to put on a strap as well?
I don’t agree with it being mannish. However, I’ll say this. The Beyonces and Jennifer Lopezs of the world aren’t typically the ones who go up and ask men out.
I found it flattering. Of the two most attractive women I ever dated, one asked me and the other basically told me to ask her. People aren't always focusing on dating. And so they may not pick up on signals. And nobody is a mind reader despite what keeps being posted on this forum.
