I think it is okay. I knew someone who courted a guy before and I believe there is nothing wrong with that. Although that must be the job of the guys, girls also have the right to court the guy they like. Equal opportunities for all. LOL

Yes. It happens that the guy secretly like her too, and the guy is just too shy to approach my friend. I know another case similar to these, and that was another success story. ^^

I don't see any reason why a girl can't court a guy but the thing is that usually its the woman who is always ready for marriage. The reason guys ask is because they tend to be the ones who aren't ready for the commitment just yet. If they wait to long however the woman will grow impatient and just up and leave the dude. Better for the woman to ask to court the guy than just leave him because she thinks he isn't ready but really is and is just waiting for the right time to ask or maybe uncertain if his other half is ready for the commitment.

It's only not OK if you don't feel confortable doing so, as any thing that might make us feel unconfortable. Apart from that, it's completely OK for a girl to go after a boy instead of being the opposite. If we always had to wait for guys to take the first step many couples would have never existed, and it's very sad that a shy person might never find a couple because a girl can't go after this person -not that a girl can't, but that many people still have that old fashined idea in their heads-.

I do not see why not as if successful both will be sharing pretty much all their likes and dislikes.
There are just as much shy guy's as there are shy girls so someone should take the initiative. If both have the intention of being together it is my opinion it truly does not matter who initiated it.

Hi mjoy. Time has changed. Whereas years ago, for girls to go after boys is definitely taboo and they get branded and labelled as flirty and promiscuous, now I was told by my young friends this thing is "in". Nothing wrong with this but we are still predominantly traditional, at least in my country, and it may be difficult to get away from this tradition. Girls would be taken advantaged of. So while it is okay, care and judgement must be used.
Merry christmas.
