Don't know if this topic has been discussed previously, but it seems to be something that should be at any rate. So, Men, would you want the woman to ask you out? Women have been put in this position by society where its not 'our place' to do the asking. I'm not one to follow that.. I am too impatient lol. I want something, I go get it. But, do men prefer women to play that 'women's' role? Or would they go for a girl who asked them?

And secondly, if you're going somewhere with a girl, but the word 'date' hasn't been used, is it one? lol. If nothing's been defined, what do you expect?

i actually perfer to make the move once an interest of the other sex has been validated. if it hasnt been validated then i will wait.

usually when i make the first move, i get rejected. the guys i go for have no interest in me lol. but the guys who go for me, i am interested in.

this has always been the case when meeting men.

I'll ask a guy out or at least to join us. In fact I did the other night as I had a friend in town and she wanted company. However if I'm interested in a guy, I'm more hesitant.

I think it startled them at first and they paid for our drinks.

My girlfriends now are still commenting about it but i don't see the big deal... I don't see why it is left up to the man to approach all the time. And we didn't expect them to pay for our drinks either!

Dunno about sign, but I like ( need? ) to be approached directly. Or I'll just deedle along being chatty and friendly..and quite oblivious. Unless someone takes out a cudgel and beans me with it. Then it's "Oh, hello.."

Eh. My mom always told me girls shouldn't chase boys. Men are programmed to be conquerors and women should let them do what comes naturally to them... so, for the most part I will not chase.

BUT I'll still make the first move if the situation calls for it.
Like the other Sagi said, if it has been validated that he's into me too.

I can tell if a guy wants to make a move but is pussyfooting around about because he's either too shy or is unsure if I'm into him the same -- this type of behavior makes me take action. Like OH FFS, move aside, I'll do it! Lol

I am aware that I confuse men. It's the Sagi way. We're so flirty and friendly with everyone, until we've developed a crush on them...then we get really quiet and awkward around them...
SO, I don't mind making extra effort to assure them or encourage them to do their thing. 😉

A Libra girl jumped on me practically one nite..so did a Scorp but in a more subtle ,manipulative way of course ha ha.Oh yeah and a Pisces girl came straight up to me..the both of us were just eye-locked,no words for a very long 20 seconds and then boom,all over each other..I give an approach to girl I like every now and then,I can sense if theyre not interested,or interested but shy etc. and I know when not to bother

i go with the give and take scenario. i'll make it obvious that i'm interested in a guy but i don't make first moves in the sense of being alone together. i do prefer to play my traditionally female role and i want a guy to chase me... just a little. just enough to gain momentum and then i will chase a little back.

i think it's counter-productive to go against the flow of nature that way. the woman is supposed to be the selector so she shouldn't necessarily be making that first move. however, i have my modern side so i bring versatility to the table. i will make a first move in regards to making contact to get the ball rolling but that's as far as i'm willing to go.

This post is veerrrrry interesting to me. Seems to be, all the men are saying 'yes, do it!' and all the ladies are saying 'no, that will just scare him away, or no, its not lady like or no, blah blah blah' but generally 'no, bad idea'. *pondering*

Here's another guy saying it's fine for a lady to make the first move.

A girl asking a guy out doesn't make him a girly man either. I never understood why people assume that role reversal.

You're over reacting we're just friends...
I don't understand...

Freak there are a million of them depending on the situation!

Like DMV, I hate missed opportunities.

I'll introduce myself, put myself out there & get the ball rolling. Then it seems I leave it in their court to bring it back if they wish. I'm not really into the responsibility of the follow through. Maybe it's all the crab in me. I'll chase to an extent, but I prefer to attract...it makes me feel more at ease.

I've also dated a number of assholes that would ease off when I would initiate a date. Fuckers. 🙂

That's my favorite passtime, going to the local when there's a Aussie/kiwi game on... Must admit after being really vocal, I've walked out backwards hoping they didn't see me leaving lmao
