Guest Snake McClain Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yay, i've been following this post with interest, glad to read you're ok with girls opinions. Here's my 2c I think you're right that you don't know if she's interested, and if you want to sound it out a bit more, go ahead.I ask my co-workers what they're doing for the weekend all the time, but with a relative stranger it's different.I've never asked a guy out, was always too shy, but would plant what I thought were massive leads (turns out guys dont really understand the female subtleties). If that were me, I'd ask a guy I was casually chatting with what they were up to, to gather intel. If you said out with friends at the beach, i'd know a bit more about you and we'd have things in common. If you said out with girlfriend or wife, i'd know to change conversation tone to be just friends. If you said nothing, I'd be a bit stumped... But if i liked you I'd probably be asking all of my friends what it means, and they'd tell me to wait to see what you said next.We're complex creatures! Hope that helps.Well I had considered this. But since I'm stupid I replied with, "nothing ". And what I meant by that was "nothing exciting" and even that isn't true. I have two podcasts to record. But still I'm dumb and now according to you I have her stumped. Which might be a good thing. Too much too soon isn't good.OK Dude, here's the deal: You ask her out and we'll leave you be regardless of what happens afterwardsBUTIf you DON'T Then you will have to suffer some punishment that's both hilarious and Rhymes. And Yes! It MUST Rhyme! *cue thunder and lightning*Uhm...I don't need to be punished. I told everyone I was going to do it. If I deemed she was good for me. I feel scared of what these results may be.Please don't. Seriously. If you don't ask her out , us girls will post about girly stuff on here . Like periods , hello kitty and one direction .For real. This would not be polite of them.I don't. If our men's thread becomes defiled with the blood of unborn bebehs I will be displeased. A grudge, I will hold.So, why does it have to be a "date", anyway?Ask her for coffee. As in "hey, class kicked my butt today. Wanna grab a cup of coffee?" Friends do coffee. You might discover, over coffee, that you do/do not want to date her. No harm, no foul.It's part of the socializing thing. Heck, I've been known to go grab coffee with my (men) friends.... and I'm married (and so were some of them)... grabbing a coffee is just part of daily life, it isn't a "date"... but, it can lead to dating, if you decide you want it to.This was more myvplan. Something completely casual. But probably not coffee.Okay, this lady shall bow out now (though, I am watching *grin*)You were warned, Bruce...Will you just please ask her, man?i will not ask her,Bruce-I-am.I will not askher out, my man.Would you ask herHere or there?I would not ask herhere or there.I would not ask heranywhere.I will not askher out, my man.i will not ask her,Bruce-I-amWould you ask herin a house?Would you ask herwith a mouse?i will not ask herin a house.i will not ask herwith a mouse.i will not ask herhere or there.i will not ask heranywhere.I will not ask her out, my man.i will not ask her, Bruce-I-am.Would you ask herin a box?Would you ask herwith a fox?Not in a box.Not with a fox.Not in a house.Not with a mouse.I would not ask her here or there.I would not ask her anywhere.I would not ask her out, my man.i will not ask her, Bruce-I-am.Would you?

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I know, so was mine, sorta. You guys really need to meet me in person, I am never serious. It would help avoid these misunderstandings.Also, for the record, I'm a supporter of asking her out for coffee. Asking her out doesn't need to be this big hoopla.

Artinum Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'd rather the ladies posted when they had something to add than have them lurking in the background where we can't see them.

leadchipmunk Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 As a man who occasionally lurks (usually by accident) and posts in the women's guild (when I feel I can add to it), I am fine with women posting here if they add to the conversation.So, men, I almost asked a lady out today. I was considering asking the cashier at the bookstore, then she mentioned something about her husband to another cashier... I really need to remember looking for a ring...

CowboyMisterIndependent Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I started checking for rings after I asked a girl out in my sophomore year of college (edit: and she was all for it) and when she friended me on Facebook, I saw she had a husband in the air force.

One thing I cannot stand is a cheater (sounds hypocritical, but hear me out).She did not cheat on him with me. They had a rocky marriage, and she kept going after me, but I would not do anything until after they separated and she knew that. Apparently I didn't wait long enough because about a year after they separated and we got together, she started cheating on me with him again. They never got the divorce, but "were going through the process of it" and I was waiting for it to go through before I proposed. When I found out that she was going back with him, I panicked and ended up proposing, but of course got turned down.

Some. Others are fantastic. I do my best to be the latter. I hope that when people think on or speak of me it is in a regard that inspires others to be good and treat people with kindness empathy and respect. Sadly the whole world doesn't see it that way. For me that is a big part of being "manly" maybe understanding those who lash out or act immaturely or negatively and try to avoid that. Spreading something good instead. Link to comment
