Have any of you guys ever been approached by a woman for a date ? I ask this question because when a female does this. Guys tend to think she is fast or desperate. The first time it happened to me it caught me off gaurd. I was just so use to it being the opposite. But I ended up going out with the lady. She ended up being a nice person. What are your thoughts about women making the first move ?
Yes, I never felt comfortable with it, usually because it was not someone that I wanted to go out with in the first place. Worst, since the ladies are more sensitive it always made the job of saying 'no' harder. As far as thinking that they were 'easy' - I never thought that, in fact I admired the courage it takes (in Trinidad - Church girls aren't likely to do this - at least from my experience) to ask.
Well, to answer the question; yes, and I pity you guys, since I have an easy reason. But girls being 'easy' because they ask you out? I have lots of girl friends who've asked guys out, and most of them are more 'hard' and 'slow' then 'fast' and 'easy' Just braver, which I actually see a connection too, come to think about it... The braver, the more willpower, and the easier it is to say actual or metaphorical 'no' to the actual or metaphorical question.
Yes, the girl to whom I am now engaged asked me on our second date. It was a fun group thing - a bunch of people were going to see a movie, and it was very low-pressure. I find it refreshing and relieving when she suggests what we could do for fun on dates. The burden is traditionally on the guy to plan everything, and if the girl doesn't somehow indicate what she wants to do, the guy will probably inadvertently select something she doesn't enjoy much. When I know what she wants, I can make it pretty good. Plans are always the problem. This doesn't mean I can't or don't wear the pants in the relationship when necessary.
My wife was the one that asked for our second date. Now 10 years later things keep getting better. I try not to make too many plans and she tries to show up on time wherever we are supposed to meet. I find that playing it by ear is so much easier.
Only once has a girl asked me out and was the best relationship I have had. Never got the "I don't care" when asking where we should eat or go. She always was assertive which is a wonderful thing cause then us males don't have to guess.
As for being easy or desperate, again society's stereotype hitting. I don't think this is the case at all.
