Can girls ask guys out?

Usually, guys are the first ones to ask girls out. It has been a tradition or society's culture (for some) that guys initiate the first move.

There is this stereotype if a girl asks a guy out. Society would frown and then you will be labeled as a flirt, desperate, and aggressive. Some may even call you offensive nicknames. Well, it's more of a moral issue here.

I asked my man about this just to settle this fairly and get a reaction from a guy's perspective. He said, "If a girl asks me out, that would make me feel like a boss". He explained that some guys don't get the signals or hints and are too shy to ask girls out so they just keep their feelings within themselves so nothing happened. Apparently, that's not the case for us. He initiated the first move because I wasn't really interested to engage myself in getting to know other people (or dating) at that time because there's so much on my plate already. He remained consistent and sincere so we're together now for almost 3 years.

Other guys would take it as weird because they don't expect it. It also makes them feel less of a man.

As the world gets modern, dating becomes a normal setup through social media so anything can happen.

After all, it's not about who's supposed to pursue who and just go after the person you are attracted to.

Girls, have you asked a guy out?

Guys, how would you feel if a girl asks you out?

For me Its ok ,. As long as no flirtings involve. It make the girl seems low-like to me. I preffered to make the first move.(this applies to those who don't have their relationship yet) But for the couples , i don't care who asks first as long as its for the benefit of the relationship

In reality of life let the guys asked you out girls. It doesn’t matter in which generation where we will be. But let makes this a traditional status when it comes into dating. In the end of the day. Woman is a woman. Woman should be courted by a man with sincerity. It doesn’t matter what nationality is. Woman should be treasure like a precious gem. Man should be the one to do effort in every single way. On my Own opinion only.

But whatever what you wants ladies. Its depends on you. The important things is you are comfortable and happy. And added to that you must take care of yourself. 😊

Hmmm.. because as what i see and learn on my 25th existence to the country of my father side. Its not allowed the woman to asked a guy to go out. That will be a big embarrassment and shame to the family. As i grew up as a moslem, i have seen so many forbidden specially when it comes to a man and woman. I am not a religious type of person. Because asking a guy to go out same as You are expressing your feelings towards to a man. Which is in our culture its not right. Its a big shame. Woman should be courted by a man. Until the woman said yes. And they will get married. But, there is an option to say no to a woman side” But anyhow, people in this generation have already change. So what ever the woman’s want and she is comfortable with it. She can do what she wants even to ask a guy to go out. 😊 the only thing is. She should take care of herself. πŸ™‚ And know the limitations and never regret things.

I haven't tried asking a guy out and perhaps I won't be able to try it because I am happily in a relationship for 5 yrs now. But if ever, I think it's just okay for girls to ask guys out. As long as its in a public area. If the girl likes the guy, I think its just right for that girl to know the person better by asking him out.

I think you are right in saying that it's just in our culture that the guys should ask first. But I think in western countries, girls are open and independent and they do what they like to do.
