is it ok for a woman to court a man?

hi! for me it's always have to be the guy to be the first.but most (not all) are even more shy to express their feelings.so i suggest that you have to observe more about his attitude first to finally decide whether to court him or not.It's not wrong to express our feelings but study your guy and your feelings too.

Of course it is there is no reason not to XD

I must say that their are some women nowadays do the courting and personally i don't see anything wrong with that. However i still prefer to be courted by men as it was used to be but i still believe that it would also depend on the personality of both and whoever initiate it doesn't matter as long as it's romantic and memorable experience as well as you both love each other.

I don't see why not. Some of the nicest relationships, that includes my first marriage, happened when the girl/lady courted me. It felt really good. But we are so caught in our stereotypes that subconsciously we might still think that it's not okay, part of the old macho thinking. But I'm sure that if you'd made a survey of let's say a hundred married couples, 50 of them got married with the woman being the initiator of the relationship.

Nowadays I don't see this as being improbable. Its not the usual thing but its not impossible for it to be popular in these change-around-everything times. Besides, I'm sure some guys will find this stimulating. And, if its in your realm of actions to do it - why not ?

It depends a lot on the culture, and to a certain extent, the religion of the people involved. For example in my religion there is nothing against the woman to make the first move. As it is not all men have the courage to be the first to step forward. The point to remember is that no other religious rulings are transgressed. So the woan will probably have to send messages via another person, or via other means. Unfortunately the cultural influence, and lack of understanding on the real teachings, make the society see this woman as a w hore or sl ut, or some other local terms. I d not know about your real cultural background and religious beliefs, so I cannot say for certain whether it is OK or not. But I have no reservation against it, as it is not forbidden in my religion. In fact my spouse made the first move.

There is a very fine line, because we do live in a world with double standards. I know girls that have court the men and they seem to have established great bonds. However there is a difference between courting and being too out there. Girls make your moves, just be discreate make him think his doing all the work haha. Good luck to ya.

The times of having to be the man making their moves belongs to the past. I am a man but I have friends (women) that already took the first move. Nothing against it. Why would I? Women searched equality for years and years. I don´t think this can be the exception:)

I don't think you want to mean courtship. I think you are referring to a girl making the first move in making friendship which can later lead to a date. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtship If you are referring to the latter. Then I think its fine. The method you suggested in your discussion is also good. Give enough hints to the boy that you are interested in him. If he is also interested then he might also show some hints of liking you.

it depends but if ever i would be asked to court a man, i would definitely say no for an answer... i can give signs to the guy i love but not to the extent that i'm going court him because i don't really believe in courtship and aside from that, i'm afraid that the guy will only took advantage.

Sometimes life is so busy that people don't notice when someone is interested in them. I believe it's just old fashion for people to think that only a guy can ask a girl out on a date. If a girl does it doesn't mean they're bad in any way, maybe it just means they are tired of waiting to be asked out. If there is competition than that also means a girl may have to push her way to the front of the line. If you really like someone, go for it.

yes, it is better to try than to feel guilty afterward knowing the man also has a secret admiration in you but hesitant to show because he is shy. i find no problem courting a man it is my way to test the power of my beauty and brains. if he notice me it means it is a success one.

hi amyson, well in my opinion it's not ok for me.. i think boys are the one who have the right to court and not girls.. we girls need also to have a little shyness and for me proposing to the guy is a cheap way to express your love to the boy and to the extent that you are a girl.. maybe the best way to do is wait that the guy will court you, rather than you will be the one to court him.. janebeth.

I really am pro equality so I guess if a woman is really determined to do so, then she may. But courting is really one of those perks we girls enjoy in this world. I'm glad that was invented. lol

It is now alright to court a man if the woman is oozing with a lot of ex appeal and very confident about herself. Then, by courting a man, a woman would know if she is really charming to turn on a man with her style. She would be able to know her weaknesses and strength at the same times. It all begin in teasing and fooling aside until both of you end up laughing and interact with good conversation.
