Fun times!

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.

:lol:

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)

Give Lance time.

I'm still trying to figure out if forum guys are truely representative of their gender :killingme
Uh, some forum guys, tyvm...
Unless he asks me out, I will assume he is not interested...
There's something here that just doesn't jive.

1) If you ask him out and he accepts, it could indicate that he's a wuss and not good for your personality type.

2) If he won't ask you out, then he's a flirt or a tease or married or gae; Use & enjoy!

Throw a ball his way: TELL him you're going to be at the duck Friday night. Show up, or not, if he wants to. This way you're covered either way. If he doesn't show, you've got us. If he does, see # 1.

I'm guessing he is just too stupid to realize you want him to ask you out. Some guys think every woman is interested in them and some guys think no woman is interested in them.

Nope, I've never even heard of a FWB turning into a relationship. I think that only happens in the movies.

Maybe you need to take a chance with a smart young guy. You never know what horizons most def can be broadened. If you so choose to.

Howeva that FWB aka "'friends with benefits" does have its advantages to a certain degree. & if anything else beyond that evolves, Hey sometimes ya just have to take the chance/opportunity & find out for yourself in person....instead of draggin your heels. You`ll neva know unless ya ask.

Lance does not play games, or play ya. Str8 shooter, candid & will tell it like it is, just like you.

In the event you decline to contact Lance, so be it..you lost a Gr8 (potential) catch of a lifetime.

NE is one thing as is SoMd, but here is whatcha haven`t even begun to discover. Just think about it.

Expectations are one thing, while IRL/IRT a Wow for sure. Hesitate, then you`re too late.

Yeah, let me tell you one thing I will never ever do, and that is have a first date with you all in attendance.

I'm trying to work on this FWB thing.

Why do they all want relationships?

I don't want one.
I believe it is human nature for one or the other or even both to become territorial and to not like the idea that he/she is stopping by to boink you for a quickie one evening and then goes away for a weekend getaway to Aruba with another the next day.... or changes plans to come by because someone better came along or some other senario... you get the picture.
