venusenvy: I did once too Cin, I felt like I was going to puke, my voice was all shaky and my palms were sweaty. It made me appreciate what men go through
venusenvy: How do you men feel about gender equality as relates to women asking men out? Do you like it? are you flattered, touched, freaked out? offended??
fine with me but it usually means she wants something else. like someone to buy her drugs.
Venus, you are a very feminine woman; the fact that you're also strong, and intelligent adds to your beauty.
Speaking your mind honestly, and expressing love, or a desire for friendship, could never make you seem less feminine in any way.
As far as I'm concerned, your picture could be in the dictionary next to the word feminine, even if you were being quoted asking a man out (Especially if it was me you were asking. LOL).
I'm sure you know that Venus, and you're encouraging the women on CS who have doubts about it.
Ladies, making the first move on a man, can earn you a special spot in his heart, which could make him cherish you for the rest of his life.
30 years ago, a woman I never met, wrote me a letter, and gave me flowers, the letter said she loved me at first sight; but, was moving out of the state that day, and I would never see her again.
I still daydream about her, and wish I could see her. If I found her, I would bring her all the flowers I could carry, and tell her I've missed her for so long; but... I don't even know her name.
All I know, is... she reached out of the blue, and touched my heart; I've felt that touch for most of my life.

rohaan: For the most part, I am really a traditionalist when it comes to this sort of thing. BUT..today I was totally elated by a small incident. Waiting to cross a very busy intersection, (and I have a noticeable handicap) two ladies in pickups right in a row stopped and both gave me the warmest sweetest smiles and out and out stares (but "nice" stares!). When I crossed another gentleman remarked, "Say, did you see those two gals all over you, guy"? "Oh, come on", I said, "that wasn't nothin.." he broke in, "No, seriously, man, I'm as straight as an arrow but you are one good lookin' man, you carry yourself well and look like you know where you're going. I think they really saw something they liked!" I have been in seventh heaven all day. I guess it's all right for the ladies to ask for a date, why not, in this day and age. Gosh, I've had a wonderful day!
That's lovely Rohaan. It's really great when something unexpected like that happens - can cheer you up no end! Enjoy the rest of your day!!!

Anon... I think you ought to give lessons in how to be a romantic!!! You are really a VERY special person. If I were closer I would love to have a very long conversation with you... As for asking out men... I used to be really shy about it, but now I don't care. One of the joys of being older! The worst that can happen is he says no... but I haven't had a no yet!!!

i'ts not about gender equality, just that women don't normally do that... so when they do it kinda catches you off gaurd and at times i'm so like omg that she'd think i'm not interested!
I'd say nothing wrong for the woman to come on to us but don't just ask him straight out, strike a conversation first to get him comfortable with you then fire away!!

A1 you're the most romantic man I've seen in my life.Certainly I can see how much you respect and love women.
"There is Love.....deep down in your heart and soul.... So go forth with love in your heart....."
I sincerely believe that the first impulse of wanting to DO something about a person you like must come from the man. Otherwise, today she invites him for coffee, tomorrow invites herself to move in with him, and in a while asks him "will you marry me"? And the sad thing is that I'm sure a LOT of men just go with the flow and enjoy being thus "selected", much like sheep.... Until something clicks in their brain and they wake up one morning and say... "hey.... I didn't have ANY choice here... SHE made it all happen..... It wasn't MY idea that I wanted to be with her.... so.... I owe no one anything..."
Generally I've found that if the man seems interested (and you act interested too) but he does NOT ask you out, there are good reasons why - he's either not overly interested after all, or just unavailable and can't act upon it.

I'll be pleasantly surprised,as never happenned to me before,though this sort of invitations by women,it has to give a new dimension into interrelating.-
