Hi, im a shy guy and if I dont ask girls out will I ever stand a chance of going on a date or having a girlfriend. Do girls ask boys out sometimes?

Well I'm almost 50 and I've had 1 woman ask me out if that helps explain it to you.

Yeah, some women ask guys out but I'd say 95% won't, even if you're attractive. So no you don't have to ask women out. But it'll put a serious crimp in your ability to date. Also by not asking women out it relegated you to whatever asks you out. And that lessens the possibility that she's a good match to you. Most of the women who've approached me (but did not ask me out) we're not good matches for me.

So it's up to you what you want to do man but I'd say you'd be best served working on getting over your shyness. It doesn't mean you have to ask most women out. You know you can chat a woman up without asking her out. Be selective! She has to earn you as much as you earn her. And don't put so much pressure on yourself. You got time, plenty of time. Hell, I'm almost 50 and I'm still in no hurry. The right woman is the right woman at any age.

It's going to be limited severely. Girls DO ask guys out. I get asked out a lot, but I'm also not shy and they're asking me out after seeing that I'm not shy because we had some sort of interaction at work/social group/event/whatever.

There are girls who do ask guys out, but you need to figure out if you can afford to be picky. If you’re not going to ask anyone out, then your options are limited to those who do ask you out.

Just get over it and start saying hello.
