Fun times!

[Wenchy]

This thread hits home for me.

For the first time since I was 15 I am single.

I'm thinking about decorating my new home in blue/white (nautical) Completely the opposite of when I decorated my first home in the 1980's and homes after that.

New start.

If I meet a man I like I will certainly ask him out. Same if I meet a woman.

I do NOT want a serious relationship for a long time, maybe not ever...so the risk to my emotions are minimal, but I do want friends and I will not be a recluse.

The Wench is back!

DeeJay...somebody said to me a few days ago: "Wendy, you must think with your brain and not your heart."

I got it.

My decision has been made for a week. I was just curious what the forumite consensus was regarding women asking guys on a date.

So when do we get to find out?

I think it depends on the individuals and the situation. Now, 'scuse me while I go upstairs and haul out that old ERA bracelet...

As with another thread along the topic of dating... those that are seeking long-term, monogamous partners in which to stay and raise a family with are in a way different situation and should be looking at relationships differently than a woman who is past that and only looking for companionship on their terms.

So your real decision was to post the info in hopes your oblivious would be suitor gets a clue.

He doesn't come on here - if he did, it's unlikely I'd be interested in him.

I thought BB gave great advice. It made perfect sense and fit me and my outlook. Unless he asks me out, I will assume he is not interested.

I was more trying to stir up dialogue about who should ask who out and get some page views while amusing myself.

You're a sweetheart.

I don't care what people call me anymore.

Sorry, backing out of Vrai's thread.

It started with a simple question posed to one of my best male bounceboards:

This guy is all over me - touching, flirting, playing with my hair. I'm sending him the "interested" signal back but he won't ask me out.
He's not interested.
Should I ask him out?
No.
What if he's...
No.
But...
No.



Now this has taken on a bit of a life of it's own, from other people I've asked and guys Bounceboard has asked. I tend to agree with BB - if he's a real guy, he'll adhere to traditional gender roles and do the asking. If he doesn't, it means he's not interested.

I have no problem calling guys in the friend zone and seeing if they want to grab dinner or watch a movie, but when there is romantic potential the man should drive. However, there is dissent from both men and women who say that women should do some asking and not leave it up to the man.

So what say you all? Is it okay, or even desirable, for a woman to ask a guy out on a date? (We're talking date here, as in casual getting to know you over dinner or drinks with potential for a relationship, not tawdry hookups and FWBs)

If I'm interested in a woman, I'll ask her out. If I'm too stupid to know she's interested in me, she'll have to ask me out. :shrug:
