Can a girl ask a boy to be her valentine?

Question

PrettyPriya · Accepted Answer

Absolutely she can. I think the whole notion of the guy having to ask the girl everything is really outdated. You risk losing or missing out on a chance with someone thinking that you cannot ask the guy.

I know that is exactly what would have happened if I had not asked my now husband out on our first date. I would have likely never seen him again and totally blow my chance with him. Sometimes, you just have to go for it.

I see my situation no different than a girl asking a guy to be her valentine. You should not hold back because of the stereotypical thinking that it is the guy's job to initiate everything. That is exactly how you miss opportunities that could turn into something really special.

What is the worst that can happen anyway? You get turned down. Disappointment is part of life. What is even more disappointing is having to wonder what could have been if you just work up the courage to say something to someone.

Absolutely! I'm sure he might even like it 😊
Just be aware that yes, guys can reject women too (he might not like you or want to be your valentine), or he might like someone else.
Obviously make sure he's single first, and go for it! Worse case, he will say no... no big deal.

yes, nothing wrong with doing that if you are interested in someone. Most guys are pretty clueless when it comes to that.

YES!!! For sure. Definitely. And do you know how that boy is gonna feel? Just like you'd feel. All butterflies-and-shit.

Of course she can

Kayla45 · Answer

Of course, I don't see any real reason why women can't ask men to be their valentine, or even when it comes to dating in general.

These are mostly old gender role stereotypes, like men are expected to be the one to ask ladies, because it's a 'gentlemen' thing to do.

All and all, I'm sure he'd appreciate it just as much as if the situation was reversed and he asks her. Regardless it's flattering when someone pops the question. 🥰 Girls can totally be the ones to ask first!

Definitely! Just because it sounds a bit strange, doesn't mean that it isn't done and appreciated! You'll find a lot of relief in just coming out with your feelings.

Yes, but 99% of the time she won’t, why ask questions that you already know the answer too.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

For sure, I think that is adorable! The guy would likely appreciate it too.

Of course. A girl can ask a boy to be her Valentine. One girl asked me to be her senior prom date.
