Would you ask out a girl if you didn't know if she liked you or not?

yes I would ask her out what is there to lose

I have never had a problem asking out a girl that I find attractive. I honestly enjoy dating, and I've done a fair amount of it and I find that the largest problem hindering most guys is that they are just afraid of rejection, plain and simple. There's no problem with rejection, and honestly by not taking the risk you almost set yourself back.

It's not uncommon for a guy to not make a move towards a girl unless his is confident, with almost absolute certainty that she'll agree to go out with him. If he doesn't know her, she'll have to make a gesture that's pertty clear cut. If he does know her, her friends if she said anything about him, etc.

Sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet. After a while you get used to it and you have to take the good with the bad. You miss out on 100% of the shots that you don't take.

In today's society, asking a woman out is dangerous. Many of you have already forgotten then women's feminist movement in the early 90's. It's the one that introduces a woman's right to cry sexual harassment for ANY unwanted sexual advances or ANY situation that incurs an unpleasant environment. Well, 15 years of persecution later and men simply do not ask women out unless he is damned certain she won't cry foul. Think I'm full-a-bull? Meet a man who lost a career job asking a woman out and did everything properly. I bet he felt like committing mass murder. In addition, with all the men-bashing that continues to go on in our country(USA), very difficult to approach women and somehow respect them.

Personally, I don't ask women out anymore. I don't talk to them unless it is necessary and in many cases, I even look away from them when their eyes meet mine. Can't tell you how many times I(the average looking short old man) women roll their eyes up in disgust or give me weird look back as though my presense tarnishes their divinity.

I don't give a rootin-tootin-flying wet fart what anyone says. This is reality. Such as it is. No fun. I just dont' ask my fellow american women out anymore. Escorts dont' count, they are hired anyway (^_*)

Asking someone out is the way to get to know someone you are interested in. The problem with people today is, there is no casual dating as friends. Two people can't go out with something being expected to happen.

The best way to go about it is to ask the person out and make it clear what your intentions are. Let them know you are interested in them as a person (other than the physical attraction) and if they are mature enough to comprehend that you just want to get to know them, they will most likely accept, if they don't, you're probably wasting your time anyway.

That's my .02 anyway.

You have one unconditional yes answer and four that are pretty negative with strings. Hm. Not giving me much room to maneuver. I'm going through this right now. The problem is not just that I don't know if she's attracted (seems maybe a bit), but I also don't know a thing about her interests. So how could I begin to prepare for a conversation - except one in which I either ask many questions or talk a lot about me? What kind of date would that be? Probably an only date.

Try it!
If she says yes, you'll be very happy.

Dont get too worked up over her answer though, if she says no, there I a bunch of pretty girls out there.

At least if you ask, you'll never have to worry about "what if I'd ask her".

Good luck!
