Is it common for girls to take initiative and ask a guy to hang out?

Well it happens and it happens I would say fairly often. But you cannot just wait on someone to ask you something at the end of the day someone has to ask. And if two people are interested in one another bur never say anything…. Well nothing ever happens.

Sometimes though people get the wrong hint. Such as, a woman who sees a man only as a friend asking to hang out but he takes it as a date. Even if she has no romantic or sexual intentions behind it. He may even believe they’re dating for a while and get the wrong message to become very awkward when taking the next step. This happens to women too where a man may ask a woman to hang out as a friend but she takes it as a date.

It also happens where a woman asks a man out. He says yes but just thinks it’s as friends while she thinks she’s being clear it’s a date. Just to find out later that he never seen hanging out as dating…. so communication can be lost if people aren’t clear.

In my mid-teens I was invited home by two girls I'd expressed interest to/for. I declined both, something I still regret to this day.

It happens. Not very much to me, but just a couple months ago some girl approached my nephew (20) as he was leaving work and asked him if he had a girlfriend.

No. As much as women have pushed for equality, for some reason this is one area where they don't want equality.🤔😆😆😆

More common than most men think.

One would hope so in the 21st century.

It depends on how appealing you are.
