Steve Age 25:
"Men definitely like it when women ask them out. What's not to like? But there are a few things you should know.
For starters, part of a guy wonders if you've called him up because you want to have sex with him. Guys are generally hoping to have sex whenever they go on a date, so you might want to set some limits earliar on. (Unless that is why you called him.)
Also, be prepared for some dating gray areas: Who'll drive? Who'll pay? Who'll decide where to go?

| The age old etiquette is generally on the guy to control the flow of events on a date, but since you initiated the date, how far will the initiative extend? Ideally, this will be part of the fun, but it can lead to baffled expectations on both sides. Remember guys don't work well with hints, it's best to spell it out to us! Another thing to consider is something guys have been dealing with since time began: The answer might be no."
Jim Age 39:
"I have no problem with women asking me out, I'm comfortable if she offers to pay too. I accept it as a real compliment, but if I do accept, I also feel there should be a balance, that is ... I ask her out on a date in the future too. I was brought up in a house full of women, I have three sisters and my Mother was always free to do her own thing, I only know it as equal between men and women."
Geoff Age 55:
"I'm a bit old fashioned, even though feminism began with my generation, I still like to be the first to take a woman out on a date, and spare no expense on the occasion.
Yeah I like to do the driving, open the doors for her, pull up her chair, but I don't know a woman who hasn't really enjoyed that, but as for the love making? She can dominate me as much as she likes!"
Lionel 74:
"A female is an exquisite creature who must be handled with much care and delicacy. I am the prince to my dashing fair maiden who is to be spoiled - and I am charmed to follow tradition by asking and paying! Though I may call upon her seniors card from time to time ...*wink*" |
