Well here it goes.
I like him, he is a very nice person, and i would love dating him.
We all live in a very small town, where people still are stuck with the old idea of 'only men can ask women for a date', yes. i do know that it is a bit primitive, but that's how it goes.
What do you think is it OK that i, as a women, would ask this guy to go out for a date?
What would you do?

Personally, I see nothing wrong with a girl asking a guy out. Perhaps it is because I have seen much of such. If it is really that inconvenient for a single date, how about a group date. Have a friend along for the first date. That might be more acceptable to most. As for subsequent dates, he should know what to do. lol.
Wait.... who is to know who dates who in the first place, unless that guy minds. But, will he or does he? If he minds, it matters. I presume chatting and dropping hints over the phone will do as well, right? Have an enjoyable date!

Hello.liranlgo,if you like him and like to date him,just go for him.You do not need to care about the old ideas at all,or you can try to make friend with him first and wait for him to ask you for a date so that he can follow the old idea of his town.

Is this for only girls to reply....?
In my opinion...anyone either a boy or girl, if she/he loves someone...can initite for date.

Lira, I have again carefully read the discussion...and replies thereto..It appears the discussions directly relates to you? Is it?
Then I would say ...go ahead...if your love him...no hesitation should come your way in initiating the move.

Best of Luck!

I know you asked the girls but... It is indeed "old fashioned" to see a girl asking a guy to go out on a date as something odd. I believe that women should feel free to ask a guy to go out with them. What is the difference between that and the other way around (except that the relationship has better chances of succeeding, considering femine intuition and all...)?

Now, honsetly, would you girls hear anything different and let me live in peace? ;)
I think women are a bit better than men in finding partners - when they are the initiators of that relationship. Unfortunatly, because of that paradigm this post is talking about, most relationships are started by men (and here, the divorce rate is about 50%...).

Hunny it is 2007 in todays society the old ways dont exist any more. Womed who are not virgins are still wearing white wedding gowns for crying out loud. Go for it Ask him out. Even if you pass him a note with your phone number on it. Who care what everyone else thinks. You want him go for him dont sit in your but waiting for him to come to you.

We are now in a modern world, and i think theres is nothing wrong if you ask a guy for a night out or a date. I think the dating request or invitation now a days is already a vice versa, meaning guys do ask girls for a date or girls ask guys for a date. Will it matter?

Yeah, I would have no qualms asking a guy out on a date. This is a modern world after all, I think men and women are equal in this respect. So I think it's ok for women to ask men out as well.
If you feel that it might be a little awkward for you to ask him out directly. You could ask a mutual friend to let him know that you are keen to go out with him. Then if he's interested, he could always contact you for a date. ;)
Good luck!

I say it is ok for a female to ask the male. If you don't want to ask him straight out to go out with you then ask him to go get a soda with you. Go for a walk, get an ice cream cone. Go to the park. Something simple. Just break the ice. Then see where it goes from there. If he's interested in you then he will be back again.

I asked my husband out, three times actually before he accepted, Invited him for coffee, after that first night we were inseperable and still are. Sometimes guys are too shy too. And if nothing else it's incredibly flattering to a man if a woman shows definite interest in him. If he isn't interested at the moment he may change his mind... all people want to put themselves in situations that make them feel good. Go for it - even if it doesn't pan out, at least you gave an effort.

well you go girl.. i laugh when i read this, since i was about to finish the discussion i made awhile ago, I had a boyfriend before who didn't get to court me and i was the one who ask him if he will be my boyfriend..i know it's very awkward but due to my desire to have him as my boyfriend, i had him as early as two weeks..really ..but we broke up and i still miss him.. In your case,if you really like to love him then go ahead,there's nothign wrong in trying..

It is OK for me. There are so many ways to do it. You don't have to say, that you want to date him. I would invite him for coffee to talk about his favorite subject...it is always working....if he likes you...you guys can met more often and relationship can grow without "asking for date", sort of spontaneous way....
p.s. guy are shy too...

I think you should ask him out, as he maybe to nervous to ask and really appreciate your making the first move. Men are worried about being turned down by beautiful women. This way you save some time and find out, if he might be the right one.

Liranlgo;
That's quite an old fashioned way and around here there's nothing seen of it. (pretty normal) I know it's probably different there but why not go for it? Your happiness is worth more than those who think females asking "guys" out is wrong.
I hope you consider it. (you never know he might like the idea) ~Joey...
P.s If you asked him alone, who else would know?

I think it would be inappropriate to just come to him and ask him for a date. You can start by getting to know him and greeting him every you see him. Then everything else will follow.
I don't think he will like you if you ask him to date you. As you have said he is old fashioned. Maybe when the two of you are already good friends, he will eventually ask you out.

I wish I had more guts to ask a man out. But as it is, this is one thing I really cannot do and just the thought of it is making me feel clammy. I have nothing against women who do ask men out on a date. I admire them in fact, at least they have the courage to do it. As for me, I guess I'm stuck with the old fashioned idea that I should wait for a man to ask me out. Ugh!

maybe ask him in a very nice way i mean you ask him maybe like this, just tell him a story about a place then ask him if he wants to CHECK it out, then if he says yes..oh..it's the date..or just be frank...some guys i think are quite shy ...too...so they would rather ask you in a very different way..just be frank..there's nothing wrong with that i think except for the fact that it's quite unusual...it's OK!!^^
