Girls asking guys out

Once I heard one of my friends saying hè liked this girl. That girl also likes that guy. The girl knows that the guy likes (Some one told her, or something like). The guy doesn't know the girl likes him. The guy is a bit shy. Then the girl Saïd something that pissed me of. (Womanly voice) " I like him very much, so when is HE going to ask me out". I was like "screw you". Is it so common that guys ask girls out, that it's a neccesary thing to do to start dating. I know Some girls ask guys out to. But mostly it's the men who need to grab the stone of courage. So simply put, why is it that moslty men need to ask a girl out.

I like this. xD I agree, it's not cool that girls rarely ask men out so much that it's become practically a fact of life that a guy commences the date asking. I just think it would open up more possibilities if it was normal both ways. Though I do not necessarily mind me being the first to act on that particular situation, I don't see what we're trying to keep alive with the custom... Also, your situation you described is one I've heard many a times; girl waiting for the guy to ask her out, I mean, you can wait, but if he changes his mind while you do that, sucks for you.

This hasn't really been an issue with me; not once has a relationship started with the words 'will you go out with me?' Generally I've just started 'being with' someone and things have slowly just become official on their own.

It's up to the girl tbh. It's up to her if she wants to gut up, or if she wants to lose the opportunity if/when he finds someone else and goes with them instead. Same thing goes for guys. Nobody should be forced to do it, but then they'll have to deal with the consequence. Maybe she's really... traditional?

Manga birds way is one option, but it depends on the person. As for why men normally ask women ... well because women in general tend to like guys who are "go getters" not "wallflowers", but like before doesn't apply to everyone. There is a tendency to believe that they will try their best at keeping them happy(fun or success) when they are gogetters. Which in this day and age is also a false statement. Also women tend to send signals at guys it is our jobs to be bloody good at understanding them. There is no book on these signals though, so life experience is the only way to learn. And lastly it has become more common nowadays for women to be the aggressive ones(I'll probably regret later typing those words). Many men are becoming doormatts in our society, because a lot of men have lost their more carnivorous insticts and chosen the herbivore instead because it makes things easier.

I thought humans were omnivores not carnivores or herbivores? :) I fully welcome the change that more and more woman are initiating in a relationship. "Traditional" behaviour has scuttled so many possible relationships that I think a change is good. Why even send unclear "signals" that can be misread when you can just walk up to a person in an open and democratic society?
