Would you ask a guy out OLD

[Honeybu]

Ladies would you take the lead and ask a guy out on first date for OLD. If you are chatting and think you seem to get on would you ask him out or wait?

Yes if course I would. We only have 1 life and it would be a shame not to ask someone out I really really fancy.

Why not? A bit sexist to expect them to take the lead all the time. Be an equal and ask him if you want.

Yes definitely.

Of course, if you want something you have to make it happen. It’s not the 1800’s anymore

Yes.
when I was OLD I had my profile set to private, so men could only see me if I initiated contact with them. This was after many unwanted dick pics and sex requests 🙄
I messaged and then asked out DH first.

I did exactly that. We've been happily married for 26 years and have raised two lovely kids.

Yes, OLD was a thing 26 years ago. I found him on match.com when it was so new it was free to join.

I did. We’re now married and have 2 children plus a dog!

We were really getting on chatting via text but I was about to go away for 2 weeks with work so asked if he wanted to meet before I left. I’m fairly certain he’d have asked me if I’d waited a bit longer.

I online dated for a while before I met my husband and I liked to move on from messaging to meeting fairly quickly if I thought we’d get on (there didn’t seem a lot of point exchanging endless messages of when we met there was no chemistry) so I’d often be the first one to suggest going for a drink/coffee.
If I was doing the asking it also made it easier for me to suggest going somewhere I felt comfortable.

In my experience it's much more satisfying picking someone rather than letting him pick you. It kind of works better, though lacking evidence to support this claim.

No
