Just straight on face to face communication
People, do you have the guts to walk up to a person your interested in and ask them for a date?
Just straight on face to face communication
To be honest the answer is kind of no though I have done it before. There are a couple of problems I have because I don´t believe at love at first sight. I need time to fall in love and if I asked out every girl I find attractive I wouldn´t have something else to do because to me nearly 1/3 of women I meet falls into that category.
I have other problems like I´m never chilled if I have to start a conversation making it sound either way too boring or complicated.
I haven´t given up on it I just have different problems that need to be solved first.
Yes, and I have been rejected so many times my confidence only grows stronger. The trick for me is to not imagine a life with them. When I do that I get very sad if I get rejected, but if I don't fantasize about them I'm chilling.
Thats actually some good advice
I don't base if I want to go on a date with someone on appeareance alone, so would not consider walking up to a stranger and ask directly.
But kinda done it with someone I met the same day, like at a party/in a bar, asked if he want to go out some time, and get his number to set it up.
With someone I already know I don't make a first move like that. If I have to see him again anyway, I let it evolve differently, getting to know each other as friends first.
not a date but I'll ask them for there number so I can get to know them first
Yea same if it is someone I don't know many times I just let it go. I like to get to know someone too unless I just really feel attracted or if someone asks me out I might give it a try.
@Whatever2929292 yea exactaly
I guess asking them out for a date is a bit extreme. Asking for a number or a social media ID is a better choice
@humanearth Asking to meet up for coffee or something really isn't a big deal. The date does not even have to be romantic. But yea a total stranger pretty much
thanks

It's not "guts" it's a lack of empathy , for example, I wouldn't ask a waitress out while she is working because that would put her in an uncomfortable position. She has to be nice to customers so the sociopaths who have ZEROS empathy are the ONLY guys that do this making it even worse.
My ex (a professional counselor) once said , when I diagnose sociopaths and psychopaths they have one trait most others don't, confidence.
It explains why those terrible traits are passed on to the next generation..
In my experience, you need to make the failure condition favorable. "I'm gonna ask this girl out, she's gonna reject me, then I'm gonna party with my favorite DJ in Europe" was the only way I ever asked a girl out. Just have it be that if she rejects you, you're going to have a great time anyway.
What if she says "Yes", that's a whole new can of worms.
Oh yeah I'm not scared of no pussy.
I like domainteing and flirting..
Helps I'm tall, Chocolate and not broke. and if she says no, no lost on my side. i can find another.
Most women respect you off the approach.
Niggas be to scary to talk to females. Where your balls at men
As for me when it comes to dating I like things face to face & offline as well. If I like someone I let it be known & I’m not afraid to take a chance & walk up to someone as well. I always say if you don’t try you will never know.
Well I don't think I would ever feel compelled enough to just walk up to a woman and ask her out. Besides that sounds like a recipe for failure. And I'm not sure I'd want to know the woman that'd say yes to that. Maybe after a few drinks and a little while getting to know her. But very few women are compelling enough for me to ask them out. More ask me then I ask them.
It's not about it killing me. If she wants me to ask her out she's going to have to do something to show interest though. Any guy who just cold walks up and asks a woman is a straight up desperate idiot.
It was pretty normal for girls to ask out guys growing up. So if I'm interested no thoughts, it just comes out naturally.
No, I don't. I'm 100% sure that I'm going to be rejected so there's no point in asking and being humiliated.
Sometimes but not normally, it’s not that easy especially not knowing if they are even single
I've done it many times before, when I was single... rejection is no big deal.
No I never do that. My husband gets super pissed when I ask people to go date
Yeah have in past, however will not if she is on her own, as it’s just meh really,
No I wouldn't. I have low self confidence and I'm really insecure.
Absolutely. I have decades if experience doing this.
Yes but it’s like everyone is socially awkward now girls my age can’t really hold a conversation I like to listen but they force me to do all the talking
No BecUse I’m shy and rejection happens all the rime
did it a few times.
sometimes i was successful, sometimes i wasn't.
at least there was no beating around the bush.
99% of the time I don’t but last year I decided to just go for it. The answer was no but it was okay
Yeah... you just got to not fear rejection because it's gonna happen a lot.
Yes, I have done this before.
No, but I have no need for it, I'm not interested on anyone, so it's a win to me
