Do guys like it when girls ask them out?

Question

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

Most do, yes. That doesn't always mean that the answer will be yes, though. You are still going to be turned down sometimes. Maybe he has a girlfriend/wife, maybe he just got out of a relationship, maybe he's broke, or gay, or maybe you just aren't his type.

Most guys don't even necessarily need you to do the asking (though it's still appreciated in lots of cases) - just showing clear signs of interest is enough. But that doesn't just mean looking at him from across the room. It means initiating conversations, letting it be known that you are single and looking, and in many cases, breaking the touch barrier with him. Hug him hello and goodbye. If he tells a joke, put your hand on his hand or arm when you laugh. Things like that.

Guys don't get "hints", so you need to be more direct and clear than that, but you don't have to be the one to ask if you don't want to (unless he's clearly shy). You just need to make it clear that you would answer YES if he asked you.

They sure do if they're interested in you. It's the same as girls. It's easier to be asked than to do the asking.

Also like girls, there is a difference between being asked by someone you're interested in; and someone you aren't. Nobody likes having to reject somebody.

I think there is no reason whatsoever that a girl shouldn't ask a guy out. I have had many argument with women who felt it was the guy's job to do the asking. I think that's sexist horseshit personally.

I think that you should go for it, if there's a particular guy you're interested in.

I'm going to say traditional guys don't but modern guys do. Just like modern girls don't mind asking out the guy but a traditional girl (like me) would prefer to be asked out by the guy.

I am sure most do, but many will feel overwhelmed and reject the invite. They go into full-blown panic mode.

Avicenna · Answer

They like it when it’s someone they want to go out with. If it’s not, they don’t really care or might be embarrassed.

Finchie40 · Answer

In most cases Yes, especially if we find her attractive

AviatorTom · Answer

Yes, and we like it better when girls ask us in. 😎

hahahmm · Answer

me, personally: no. But I come from a generation of guys who had to have the balls to ask women out and we were used to doing that. So if a woman asked me out there was a 99% chance she wasn't a woman I was that into. Otherwise i would have asked her out. And I always told women on G@G not to make the first move because you're just making it easy for the guy and some guys will take the easy but not really value it. So the second he runs into a woman he likes a little more than him you're dumped. A guy doesn't act like that if he put the energy into getting you. Shy guys don't like this advice tho because they think it hurts them. I was shy once... and the second I ran into a woman who REALLY attracted me, suddenly I wasn't shy. So do the math.

OneViewpoint · Answer

I can't speak for all guys but I like to see a woman put herself out there and take a risk once in a while. There's nothing wrong with it. It says she's got some confidence. I think any guy would be flattered and polite whether the answer is yes or no. And no, if a woman asks me out I don't have any preconceived notion that she's "easy" or "desperate" or that I'm gonna "get lucky". It's just an invitation to get to know someone. And I wouldn't expect her to pay for me.

Side Note: It's really refreshing to see a woman drop the subtle flirting signals they think are so "obvious" and the expectation that any given guy is a master mind reader. If you wanna talk to me just walk up and say hi. I seldom bite. And only if you tell me you like it. :)

Zack-Bann · Answer

I see this question often here
And the answers are almost always unanimous which is rare

Yes we do.
No one gets offended if asked out.
It’s flattering that someone cared enough to do it.
But guys don’t live life expecting it because it’s unrealistic. We do our own asking all them time

Still it does happen on rare occasions and even when we turn down the date it’s a very positive feeling

McLlovin · Answer

This is just my preference. I prefer me to do the asking. I find it masculine if she does. These day’s any form of being feminine is extremely attractive in a woman and i fear any form of masculine energy as a potential red flag that she may be a “boss chick” type woman

Billlewis · Answer

Of course I like that, but then again, I love it anytime a woman takes charge, on one condition -- she has to let me pay for all the dates, whether she and I are going out or she's having dinner, drinks, etc with one of her male lovers.

RavVid · Answer

It makes me feel awkward. Some girls can make it quite obvious if you ask they will say yes. I prefer that way.

QuestionObsession · Answer

I would give anything to never have to ask a woman out and to be asked out instead. It has been an exhausting one-sided act for too long.

YourExLover69 · Answer

I wouldn't mind if a girl ask me out.  If she is shy or traditional and don't want to ask me out straightforward then she can give me signs of interest and rest is my job 😊💕

WhitneySnow · Answer

A lot do, but some are too stuck in their own masculinity and freak out when a girl does that

Shiprex · Answer

Yes men do like women to show clear and obvious interest

Spencer10 · Answer

This guy does... it shows confidence. Thats attractive.

Alex-Snow · Answer

Of course. I think it should not always have to be the guy that asks the girl out. I have been asked on dates several times and always had fun

exitseven · Answer

I was really shy so it would have been nice to have a little help.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Only if the guy likes the girl asking him out. Same as it is with girls.

ravagesavage · Answer

Nope. I only do the asking out, not the other way around. I'm not a bitch to let a girl ask me out.
