What do you ladies--and dudes--think about a girl asking a guy out?

I'm curious. How does it come across to guys, and do you think it's appropriate?

    Same here. And unless I'm just completely repulsed by a particular female, I'll accept the offer. If I'm busy on a given time and place, I'll offer an alternative time and place.

    If a man happens to catche my eyethen I have no problem taking the initiative.
    The last time I approached a man, he actually ended up asking me out to dinner :/
    More often than not, men are usually the one to approach a woman, it is something many of us are used to but I like to switch it up.

    To me Its appropriate and I fully endorse and expect woman to approach me whenever im outside

    Its shows a lot about her and its funny cuz females be awkward and kinda shook when they do it now they can see what males go through

    thank you! I'm definitely enjoying being somebodys girlfriend.. A guy ain't never buy me flowers in hella hella years or a nice teddy bear, or wrote me poetry, so for someone to just sweep me off my feet like that its a beautiful feeling.. and as the day grows, our relationship grows stronger..

    I only been in 2 relationships, my first love he passed away and that was hard! My second relationship was horrible, mad horrible.. And after that relationship I gave nearly 4 years of space for myself and focused elsewhere, no dating, no intimate relationship for nearly 4 years, really gave me a perspective of what kind a guy I want, and because I know what I want I approached dude and since then its been lovely..

    Changes can do you wonder's, I say so from experience..

    Women dont really approach dudes a lot, I've seen a lot of GIRLS do it, but WOMEN don't approach men. Truth be told, in all my life I've never approached a woman really, so if a woman was to talk to me, she would have to approach me.

    I had a few girls approach me and ask for my number or too go out on a date. I don't mind that ? at all makes my job more easier.

    Sometimes a ? get tired of approaching females. So a girl approaching me gets props.

    I am a women and I have approached a guy.. So you can't say women never never approached a guy..

    Girls nowdays do approach guy's but I'm not sure if its just outta of peer pressure from friends or sincerly..

    Mostly I get approached. The situation with my "current/ex" girl is kinda of complicated to describe how we met. It wasnt really an approac type thing. But before that, mostly girls come up to me. I mean, or back in the day, my ? would holla at a group of chicks and I would play the background and usually wind up getting the chick I wanted to talk to. I dont really understand it. I mean, some women approach men, or give subtle hints that they want to holla at you like start a random convo or approach just to ask for things like the time(when they holding a cell phone or got on a watch). I dont know. I've never thought about approaching a female because I'm not into chasing females really. I would rather them come to me. That's just how I feel

    Iiight I can feel this for the simple fact my aura is contagious and I've had chicks holla at me

    But If I see one im feelin I gotta approach em,9 times outta 10 I get the # but I understand what u sayin.? gotta make the moves most females give signs but rarely just approach a ?

    Some cats aint aggressive like that I pick my spots but overall I chill compared to my ? who approach/stare at every chick walkin past

    I dont know about a contagious aura, but it is very telling that girls were more willing to approach dudes during the younger years than when they get older. Some women still approach(older women), but I notice I get a lot of glances and women looking at me for long periods of time. I usually ignore them. I think the worst thing for a woman though is to be turned down. I've turned down a lot of females over the last 6 years. It's become second nature I guess. Before though, it was a lot of times were I would talk to a girl in school. When you in school, things were easier as far as meeting people. Going out to the malls and hollering at chicks with ya ? is a little tougher cause you really never know what the girl is going to do... I would probably just wait for a sign, more than likely instead of just running up on a chick like "yo shorty, what's your name"

    I approve. If you see something you want, you go get it. Don't just sit around and hope it comes to you.

    LOL. I was just in another thread where the topic was on women making it a priority to be in a commited relationship. After A LONG discussion/debate with my girl about this, she actually told me that, like herself, most women are actually miserable if they're not in some kind of committed relationship, and that most women are ALWAYS on the lookout for a potential long-term mate. It baffles me to say the least. Like myself, most men are just as happy, if not more, to be single as they are in a committed relationship. I told her, it's not JUST about being able to "bag" as many women as possible, although for a large majority of guys, especially younger men, that's usually the case.

    Sometimes, men AND women just want to be able to do what they want, when they want, how they want, and with whomever they want to do it with, WITHOUT be held accountable to a s/o. For a lot of people these days, NOT having to be held accountable to any s/o, appeals to them MORE than being in a long-term relationship does.
