What are your experiences of asking a man out?

[lottieandmia22]

Of course it's a sexist, outdated notion but at the end of the day we still live in a patriarchal society.

Anyway, I've met this man through work. He gave me his number for work reasons and after that we talked a bit via text. In person I did get the feeling he likes me. But he didn't suggest we go on a date. I don't think he is married / attached.

Would you want to be with a man who was intimidated by you having the confidence to ask him out?

No, I guess not!

Go for it, what's the worse that could happen? He says no, you move on.

Chances are he has no idea you'd be interested in him which is why he hasn't asked - most men I know are crap at picking up on signals.

I asked a guys out ten years ok - we got married last month. He said he was blown away at being approached .

Good luck! Let us know how you get on

I asked a guy. As in one. Not guys

I gave a guy I really liked my business card with my private mobile scrawled on it and said next time you're in my neck of the woods give me a ring if you fancy a drink. He texted me the next day and we dated for several months. He was delighted I got the ball rolling!

I asked a colleague our after emailing back and forth for a while. We've been married for 10 years now

Married 22 years, 4 kids.

Terrible when I've done it but I have realised I am weird.

You could maybe suggest a meet-up without making it a date.

Men don't find it easy, I'd say we're mostly somewhere on the scale between a bit scared and totally petrified.

The first and last time I asked somebody out we got married! That was 26 years ago.
When you know, you know, OP.

I keep taking myself in and out of it! I won't look like a stalker will I?!

Highly successful!
I have done it twice. The second is the father of my kids.

Met a nice guy at a big evening out at a restaurant. Emailed him a few days later and asked him out. Email was a bit of a copout but hey [shrug] don't think he minded [squeezes dh's shoulder]

It doesn't make you a stalker at all.

I would expect someone to be thought of based on the totality of what they do, not one particular thing like this. If anyone were to think badly of you for asking someone out, that says more about the judgy pants than about you.

He said yes :))

“People always say to me men are never shy and if they like you they will ask you out.”

This is also a sexist out dated nation. Oh and bollocks

Yay!!

Whoop :)

I've got to be honest and I'm a dyed-in-the-wool feminist and it pains me to say this its never worked out well for me.

Really is it that unusual? He said he was thinking about me when I texted

Thanks for giving me the courage to do it :)

It is unusual, but not bad. Have a great time!

Thanks, fingers crossed!
