Just wondering..been on a few single sites now for a few months and it seems like the men are afraid to ask you out on a date. You write each other for a while and things are going well and then they just quit writing without ever asking you out. Why are we on here if not to date? What could be so scary about meeting someone for a drink?


I have never been afraid. The worst thing that can happen is her saying no. I have lived each time a woman has turned me down for a dance or a date.dunno

I would disagree with Hunter S. Thompson

A murder may be a part of " anything..." in his thought. Which is most certainly is not "worth doing"

Warmhearted, I apologise for the way I wrote the question, which resulted in your reply. What I meant to say was, If you and I were in the same city or within a short driving distance, what would your reply be, if I asked you out on a date? Now too answer the question you just asked. If you and I were getting into a relationship, yes I would pay for you to come here, but it would only be a one way ticket, By no means am I saying that I am rich, but for a woman I loved I would find a way. conversing wave hug

I think that men or women can ask the person they are interested in, out for a drink, dinner, coffee, whatever the custom is........
It is lovely to have a man be that into you that he asks you out, but it is not the be all and end all, and women have nothing to lose to ask, either...handshake

are women scared to ask men out??? you know being well beyonf the age to caring what others think about my personnal life. I find it hard that women my age are still so in the dark ages about this dating thing, men do the asking crap... hell i get women asking me to "help with a clogged drain or changing wipers or checking the anti-freeze, guess what happens afterwards??? go ahead the adults her pretty much know. anyway, if you that worried about appearances of how it will look or what people will say ,,,, wait on them to ask ya for a date.. cause I'm tired of it being made into such a big production...ya wanna get a bite to eat ..ya wanna get a cup of coffee, ya wanna get out of the cold and discuss my plumbing or how your engine runs,

someone once told me asking someone for a date is like falling down a flight of steps once you start you aint' stopping till the landing. so roll with it.comfort

As a rule I never ask anyone out,nor would I date,I can't take that chance,because you would like me and I would fall in LOVE.

But,my Government gave me a terminal illness and it would kill you to.

So, you see, I don't dare.

Yes, many men are afraid to ask women out. Sometimes we believe we can't make a favorable-enough first impression and have a fear of rejection. Sometimes a man may be exchanging e-mails with more than one woman (with none knowing about the others, of course), and he just "disappears" once he begins going out with one of them. And it wouldn't surprise me a bit if some men are just too shy to actually follow through and meet a lady -- I've been there, done that, although I have since grown out of my shyness.
