Is it okay to flirt hardcore/be straightforward?

[helpha]

I took a risk tonight and handed a cute stranger my number. I was wondering is it okay to do things like this? To try and get some dates and meet a lot more guys?

I wouldn't be slutty by any means, I'd just show really direct interest..

Guys, would you like it if a girl was really direct?

Also is it okay to flirt like this? Or weird/unnacceptable?

Guys will love you for being so up front and honest.

But Like TheDude84 pointed out... You'll make yourself the living target of girls with the Cinderella complex. They will crucifie you if you don't cut their throat first. Why do you think girls come to fear "bitches". It's because they are kryptonite to their prince charming will come and sweep me of my feets if I wait for him long enough...

-_- ya right.

now where's my beer...ah found it. Barman! two beers. One for me and the other for my good friend Prince charming. We will be here all night talking about the game.

Hey, Prince... (whisper) you got a wall flower 3 o'clock she's been staring at you for like 2 hours straight.

Prince C. replies: Don't worry man let's enjoy our beers and talk about the game she can wait.

So it isn't the first time it happens.

Prince C. replies: nope, Every night I go out it's the same story. The funny thing is that she will wait 40 years and she won't even move away from that corner.

LMAO! Cheers Prince. Let's drink.

Some of my best relationships started with women initiating with me... because I probably would not have had the confidence to initiate myself. Remember men hear a lot about how women hate all the guys hitting on them all the time, meaning a lot of really nice guys won't even risk coming off that way and spend all their time looking for some less direct angle. These less direct angles can take a long time and sometimes never work.

Women don't have that issue (have you EVER heard about a guy complaining about a woman initiating?) and you can cut down this window considerably by just being direct. I guess there are some guys who might be threatened by it but frankly why would you want to date that guy anyway. No, your real enemy here is the princess fantasy involving glass slippers and poisoned apples. That and other girls who are too insecure to do it themselves so take to tearing you down for it.

One caveat: not every guy will be into you and that is okay.

[kangaru]

Well said. I agree

[why-makoto-kun]

Depends on the guy, I think. Handing him your number is actually like letting him make the first move because he'll have to call/text you. :p I've done it before.

[Nicci]

I think guys appreciate this more because most guys are awful at noticing subtle hints and subtle flirting.

[Gawesome]

I see nothing wrong with it and would appreciate it!...nothing wrong with random risk as long as you're comfortable and confident with it and prepared to deal with the consequences if the cute guy turns out to be a perv/pedophile/serial killer/etc. (turn your creep-radar on! lol)

[Alessus]

I like it when a woman is direct with me, because I'm quite frankly crap at picking up obscure signals and the like that's the usual with women showing interest. And I think there is nothing wrong to flirt in times like that, but you need understand that some shy guy might think it's a bit too aggressive for his tastes and so won't act on it.

[Prof_Don]

Straightforward flirting imo is something that should be ENCOURAGED for both genders to do...the whole "mystyique", "being mysterious" thing,

...

...is highly overrated.

I like to know that someone is interested in me, and not just flirting with me to:

*"practice their flirting skills"

*do a dare that her (or his) friend dared her/him to do

*make someone jealous or mad

[drc930]

Yeah I think it is OK. As a guy I'd LOVE for a girl to take the first step. I wish all girls were like you haha. :p

Just be careful though - as he is a stranger. Meet somewhere public, find out who he is, what he does etc. before taking anything too serious. Good luck!

[funkadelic5]

When you stop thinking something is weird or unacceptable, it'll cease to be weird to unacceptable. The truth is that we usually find people who are confident in themselves and their own actions very attractive. When you stop worrying about if guys approve of your dating approaches and just do whatever the hell you want, you may be surprised to find it remarkably effective.

Always remember the golden rule"

The higher the risk, the higher the reward.

So, giving your number to that cute stranger can increase your chances of being with him.

[MikeK]

*sigh*... If only there were more girls like you in the world... :)

You'll find that nearly ALL men love and appreciate a move like this - it's your female counterparts that discourage it more than anyone else ;)

[Popnlock]

Yes please continue to be direct, it's better then giving signals and us not knowing if there good ones or bad lol which is very common

[OpenClose]

YES! Thank you. Please be an example to other women, too.

There are so many reasons why that is a good thing.

[yaddayaddayadda02]

Since you're cute...it'll probably work. Just be wary that you may get stalkers.

[NickInVideo]

That's only if she's incapable of determining if a guy is a stalker-y type before giving him her number.

[helpha]

Yeah id only do it to normal looking cute boys lol.

[Zzzzz]

yes, it is okay (as long as you don't smother him with attention).

[guitar903]

I wouldn't do that... Let guys flirt with you. Don't try to do everything yourself. Lol and ACCEPT MY FRIEND REQUEST. IT'S ME EDDIEGUITAR :P

[helpha]

haha oooh okay sorry I never really look at those xD

[bwrd830]

Yes I think it should be highly reccomended

[doctorwhofan23]

I kind of want a girl to be straight forward.

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Yes! That's how it's done!

[pezzonovante88]

Yeah good for you. Lucky guy.
