Is it the guys job to ask out the girl?

[dogsteeves]

I've always heard it was my role to find a girl and ask them out as it's my job as a male to hunt down the girl

It will be less likely for a girl to ask me out, and I've never had a physical girlfriend, only one online and that started by sexting on Kik; she was from Egypt.

Also, the whole guys ask girls out is one of the few main reasons I wish I was born female, not the main reason but one of the few.

I dislike being a single male. If you haven't noticed by now, I've always been worried about hitting on girls now at 26 years old as most are married, dating or young but still pretty.

Update I was told It will be less likely for a girl to ask me out so I gotta take the initiative

Super out-dated notion. If someone is interested, they should ask. There's no need to wait for the guy to ask or anything like that because they guy may be absolutely clueless and not notice any 'signs' or 'hints' which can lead to confusion. If he's not picking up on subtlety, then abandon that tactic and just ask.

It's how one of my first college relationships went. She sat me down, then sat on my lap facing me and told me point blank. Then everything started to make sense. Also, a lot of men have been taught that asking a woman out, not matter how politely they do it, is obnoxious and annoys women, so don't assume anything is flirting, just assume it's her being nice. Unsurprisingly, a lot of people don't want to think they're going to be labeled as a creep or predator for asking a woman out.

Your job? If you want to find a partner, you're going to have to ask. Most women will show signs of interest if you are paying attention, but they won't ask for a date.

This goes for anyone- if you want to go out with someone, you'd better take the initiative. However, it's especially pathetic for guys not to ask out a woman they're interested in.

Wow about 50/50 either way.

I think if you like someone no mater who you are then don't expect the other to ask you out. Just do it yourself

Society and culture still dictate that unfortunately

Yes, that is the custom.
