My view is, for years and decades of wanted equality, women have wanted the rights and privilege's as men. Therefore, why not the women also take the initive to ask a gentleman out :) Besides, some old fashinioned traditions have been making way for the new. The world is changing.
I did it once and I dont regret he is a gentleman and of course I REALLY LIKED him to do such thing I guess I wont do it again it was a one time thing lol
Don't think I would like to be asked out on a date directly, like was said above can give the impression that the date may turn into something more which I wouldn't want to feel pressured into.
I have however had women "suggest" a date without actually "asking" for a date..... no that's really cool as it gives me the chance to step up to the plate and ask her out (well not always!)
Of course - - - - I mean they scream equality, and emancipation - - - when it suites them and when it doesn't then - - - I am a lady - - - I mean come on - - - - it would be nice to get asked out, not just to do the asking - - - -

kidatheart: Oh no, that's totally a female type of thing to do, remember and dig up things from the past, then throw it in your face when it suits.
It is also called immaturity..or narcissism. Such talk would never happen if two people at least RESPECTED each other. Which after all, is the basis of true and real love.
And indeed if it is real, it will grow. Can't understand people saying.. I fell out of love with him/her. It would have never been real in the first place.
If you don't feel it for someone.. it's best to let them go PREMATURELY rather than PLAYING ALONG and wasting someone's time and causing hurt. Some people just stay, until something better comes along... and that indeed is cruel.
I wouldn't have a problem with it, I would never ask some one i didn't know quite well, but you can usually tell if both feel the same. Then I say go for it. Just have to find some body I want to date first though.
That is my fear too. I imagine, if they are asked out, they would think that a woman is ready for casual. May be even be insulted when they don't get that.
Bluefish22: I'm old-fashioned, I'd rather be asked out.
Possibly Im just scared.
I'm old-fashioned, too, but I see nothing wrong with a woman asking a guy out on a date. Especially since I'm shy and it's hard for me to make the first move.

I would never expect anything physical just because a woman asked me out on a date. In fact, given my personality, I would be extremely startled in this situation. And you know what men do when they're startled? Pffffftt! "He went thataway!"
Venus - Well, of COURSE any guy would be flattered to be asked out on a date by YOU. That goes without saying!
Twinself - Why would anyone give on you after a few years? And the point of you asking a guy out could just be a point of amusement between the two of you as you go through the years together.
WhistlingDixie - I'm only into women, and women aren't exactly beating a path to my front door. The only women that come to my door are for my sister, vendors who want to sell stuff, or delivery people. Hmmm...say, now there's an idea! Why didn't I think of that before? That cute little fast food delivery gal is just waiting for a date, right? Hope she doesn't have a boyfriend.
In theory, nothing wrong with it. Under the cold, harsh light of reality, however, a man's chances to be asked out by a woman who is actually his type and/or not at least 10 years older than he is are slim to none and Slim just got tarred, feathered and run outta town on a rail. Unless he's a 22-year old, 6'5 soap opera actor with a millionaire's trust fund.
Apparently i'm quite old fashioned...i would never ask a man out on a date...i would rather they ask me out, i feel that is the proper way to do things... But, of course, this is just for me...women should do whatever they feel comfortable with...me, i'm just not comfortable asking a man out
If a gal declines to ask a fella out, she's thrown away 50% of her chances. Doesn't seem like a particularly bright move to me. I'm not sure I'd want to date someone with such poor math skills.

To find love is always difficult, and I for one believe that if you find someone that interests you then go for it, because its worth a risk to find love and best of all keep it. So if you feel an interest then its worth a risk. Its difficult for a man or a woman to put themselves out there to be rejected but if we don't make the effort we can never have a reward. I wish deep love for us all, whoo hooo

Okay, let me ask you this. Why would it appear that something extra was being offered if a woman asked a man out, yet when a man asks a woman out, nothing extra is implied? Sounds like a major double standard to me. If a woman asked me out (yeah, like that's going to happen!) I would never expect anything but a normal date.
