Is it ok for a women to ask a guy out nowadays

I was wandering if I should ask this guy out for drink who I like, we've already met for lunch in the park but I think that was more as friends. I read on other threads that women should wait to be asked out but whys that, I dont have a problem asking a guy out if I have a strong feeling he likes me, but I was wandering why others feel it should be left to the man to do the asking.

go for it. there is absolutely no reason why not and if you think he is interested then suggest in a friendly way. If he is not interested, the worst you will get is a no thanks.

I agree, go for it. And then report back immediately .

Well some men like to do the chasing but if a man is put off by a woman asking him out then he probably isn't the sort of man you'd want anyway.

I would ask him and sod the 'rules'. The 'rules' only amount to game playing anyway, which a bit silly IMO.

Good grief...DH would never even have been the D Boyfriend if I hadn't taken the initiative.

Well, texted him last night asking him out for a drink friday night and..... he didnt bother replying so now I feel really stupid for getting the signs wrong. When we met up before he was the one who said we should do this again so I assumed he was interested otherwise I probably wouldnt have asked. I wander if thats the end of our friendship now.

lordy - he is a man, some men are just rubbish about replying to texts. give him anothe 24 hours before completely writing him off.

If he were interested, he'd have replied by now. Unless somethings happened to his phone etc.

Depending on what you said to him, if he mentions it, just laugh it off as a badly worded text and that you meant as friends.

Thats what I thought Niceguy, he would've texted by now. In the past he has text almost straight away but this time he hasnt. He has got a new phone but he probably would still have his old phone on in case any interviews came up.

Look on the bright side Miley. At least you know how he feels. Plus you also know how every other bloke feels when we pluck up the courage to ask a woman out and she shoots us down in a ball of flames! Grin

Aah! At least you know now. So much better than spending the next months or years thinking what if? See if he has a nice friend!
