Is Asking a Woman Out Only for the Bold?

[FireSky86]

I haven't asked out a girl in years. I guess I just don't care or take risks? Meh.

I don't understand these recurring threads.

I thought this topic was covered in a PF FAQ thread.

Supplemental question - "How to get a guy started (without him knowing about the intervention)?"

 

[BobG]

Yes, I propose we sticky a "dating thread."

Or add a dating forum for nerds.

Or maybe just some links to dating forums for nerds: Top 10 Dating Sites for Nerds

I'm not quite sure why being a Star Trek fan, a comic book collector, anime fan, world of warcraft gamer, etc is considered the equivalent of being a nerd, though.

Ooh! There are some cuties on that Trekkie dating site:

Maybe I will try dating Klingons.

i once knew a guy that dressed up as a klingon and was a member of some klingon group. to say he was not sciency is an understatement. i couldn't even get him to understand how the fractions on a tape measure work. you could say he had a strong artistic slant, though.

Wow, another dating thread. Us girls are normal too...I think it's funny how guys are, like, scared to talk to us. We can do the same thing you all do, too. Just, some of us with a little more style

 

[Moonbear]

You might be a nerd if...
you've ever started a thread on PF about how to ask a girl/woman on a date.

You REALLY might be a nerd if...
you've reached the age of majority before you started that thread.

Heh, very very true. Guys underestimate how much far confidence goes. I took a hint from PF (I forgot which user posted it, I think it was in another thread) and asked a cute boy in my calculus class "So where are you taking me Friday night?" Bing! And I scored a date and a lovely Friday evening. If he had said "Ewr, no!" then the proper response would be to laugh and say "Your loss ;)"

Simple stuff, guys!

Me either. My wife would kill me in my sleep if she found out.

How come the topic creator never came back? Maybe when he said something about being insane, he was going to do something really bad.

nah, those guys can only devote an hour a day to their women. much less to a forum post.

I believe that was Evo.

Ah Evo, always full of good advice. Thanks Evo! :)

Man I'd punch a girl if she said that (Not really, I am just kidding, but yah i'd punch her) to me as a response.

While we are posting on PF, he's banging hot babes.

I don't know. Maybe since I'm not actually hearing it it sounds a lot worse than it really is. I've had women approach me in that fashion but because they wanted to get something out of me, not because they were at all interested in me. Even the asserive women I have dated approached me much more respectfully than to tell me I was taking them out. I suppose different people like different things though.

I doubt it, LOL. All of us hott ladies are still here and not with him.

I know what you mean (actually I don't, but I do!).

As a response to 'Your loss' or to the first bit, out of curiosity?

Even the asserive women I have dated approached me much more respectfully than to tell me I was taking them out.

You can always say 'no'. A statement isn't a binding legal agreement and I certainly didn't just march up to them and demand we go out. It was said in a playful manner and apparently I wasn't rude enough that they ran away.

Phew, between punching or getting offended at chicks who are interested in you, it's no wonder guys have woman troubles :(

I wasn't there so I can't comment on how it came off. I'm sure it can be done. Just reading it like that it seems rather pushy and rude lol.

Like I said, I have had women approach me like that (the way that I imagine it from reading it anyway) and not because they were interested in me. Some guys may find it off putting and not necessarily because they are dorks who don't know how to handle a woman or something.

But I guess if you can do it right its a good pick up line. :-)

I had coffee with a nice girl today. .

I think its success depends on whether the person you're asking out is also interested in you already. I think if the guy has been already watching her, trying to figure out if he has a chance, and just hasn't gotten up the courage to ask yet, then that approach is likely to work well...he's going to breathe a huge sigh of relief that she saved him from having to do the asking. On the other hand, if you're just walking up to a random stranger who you think is cute, there's a good chance he's going to think you're absolutely insane.

Ofcourse it is me. Am I not pretty?

I am confused about your sex

I for one would never get mad, let alone punch a girl, for asking me out. I'd actually probably find it rather endearing. I wish girls would ask me out, it takes a lot of pressure off of me, but I guess I'm to ugly.

Exactly. The guys I used it on I knew already and had an inkling they might be interested. They did all love that I asked, and the humorous way it's asked relieved the tension. The closest I came to a rejection was a guy that I worked with at the bookstore. When I asked, his response was that he couldn't take me out Friday, he already had plans, then he asked "can we go out Saturday?

I would prefer not to disclose such things over the internet.

Utimately, sex is what we're talking about... isn't it? Might just be me. :)
