I don't tend to go for shy guys.
Before you say it, I know what it's like to be shy (I'm shy myself), so it doesn't come from a lack of understanding. I simply prefer more outgoing guys. -

Re: Guys - do you like women asking you out?Yes, I love it. It means I know they're into me as much as I am into them, and therefore I'm relaxed about going on a date with them. Also I know they're not just being polite or what have you and I'm not pestering them, it's the knowing for sure that gives me the confidence.

Re: Guys - do you like women asking you out?To be fair though I've had the same experiences with girls I got involved with after approaching them so its not gender exclusive.(Original post by Lucia.)
I don't have a problem with asking a man out. The only potential issue would be - what if I ask him out and he goes for me only because I'm available rather than because he likes me? I know a few male friends who date that way - they date what's available until something better comes along, anyone will do if it's a path to regular sex. That's the only reason why I'm reluctant. I don't know if I'm wanted otherwise. Hoping some of you guys on here can give me an answer to that. -

Re: Guys - do you like women asking you out?Guys like it. I would say from my relationships 50% of the time it has been mine asking the guy out - and they liked it. : )
Also, it is quite thrilling to be the person with the courage who makes the move... you don't get that when you are the one asked out (but you do get the thrill of the person you really really like confessing they like you!

Re: Guys - do you like women asking you out?Im not bothered either way but why do you say its a bad idea for a girl to ask a guy out? Surely, you're devaluing females as a gender, equal rights/responsibilities and all that(Original post by Millie228)
Most guys on here will say yes, as it saves them the hazard, so be prepared for that.
Whether it's a good strategy IRL, my firm opinion is no. -

Re: Guys - do you like women asking you out?I don't find it "devaluating" in any way, it's just about acknowledging that the genders are different. They are different in goals, experience and behaviour. It could turn into a loong discussion. But if you're bothered to read, this blog post is pretty good (written by a guy), I agree with a lot:(Original post by hiding12)

I know that some feel differently, and that's okay, but I am most comfortable with, and have the most success with, a traditional dating approach. -

Re: Guys - do you like women asking you out?well its the 21st century, if you want to be treated like men, you need to start behaving like them, you can't just pick and choose the perks(Original post by Millie228)

Re: Guys - do you like women asking you out?Women wanted equality and to be equal to men, but it looks like they still want to be pampered and treated like princesses and expect the man to do everything. **** that. Women can now buy the drinks, open the doors and make the first move. They can't have it both ways.(Original post by hiding12)
