From another thread, I just wanted to open it up for everyone. I'd like to know out there how many of us women have asked men out..whether you have been successful or not, just as long as you HAVE done it. Casual dates as well as serious dates.

I have asked men out since high school. Sometimes I've been successful and other times it did not turn out so well. Comments?:ty:
 
Yes, some women do ask men out. I have seen that with my own eyes. It happens on a rare case, though. Even some women do ask men to marry....pretty odd eh?
 
Oh gosh.. I have a colorful history with that...

I always have been insecure when it comes to men so after my separation, I became like a tiger on the hunt for this one guy I totally became infuated with and actually asked him out. I even asked him to join me for a week trip to Myrtle Beach. It worked but no, we didnt end up in a relationship cuz I think the attraction was solely based on pure lust on both of our parts.

I have asked men out but to be honest, I hated it cuz I didnt handle rejection too well because of my low self-esteem in the past.

However, I am married and I can ask my hubby on a date anytime. I treated him to a nice date 2 weeks ago with seafood dinner and dancing all paid for by me.

I think some men go thru the same fears of rejection so in my opinion, I dont think it is fair to lay all the responsibility on them. This is the 21st century after all. Just my 2 cents. :)
 
I follow traditions. which is men ask women out. Me traditions.

In my heart, I do find it odd but in my logical mind, I do not find it odd. Weird, heh? Maybe I am the odd one! :giggle:
 
I guess not. :giggle: But, hey it's the 21st century.....things change, ya know?

I know that in some ways, I am. :)

So, u are not comfortable asking men out or u believe in the old fashioned traditions of men being the ones who ask women out?

This is not to be insulting but just to be curious.

VERY interesting thread!

I am old fashion. I prefer men being ones who ask women out.
 
I like both ways. I'm very assertive in asking men out, if they are not interested..okay, either move on or continue trying to see if possible to harness their interest and at least go out on a date. Same thing for the guys. I don't like to follow old-age traditions.
 
Im too shy to ask a man out! I know I have had so many missed opportunities because I am sure that many men were shy like me and didnt ask me out either - my friends always roll their eyes up and tell me that Im being too stubborn and should just ask a guy out! Nope I refuse to :giggle: I am very assertive in many other ways but not in this department......

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are married - who did the asking? You or your significant other?
 
Women can ask men out...

However

I'm old-fashioned about this... I'd rather for men to ask women out. Don't ask me why lol.

Say you caught a glimpse of that ONE and you fell in love madly at first sight....would you just pass up the opportunity or try to find dutch courage to ask him out? What if he is very shy and would never thought that you would actually want to go out on date with him?
