Well, I just lost my mind.
Its very difficult for a girl to ask a guy out. We’re either “too bold” and may intimidate a man, or we need to be “more forward” and tell a guy we’re interested.
For the last two weeks, these have been the conflicting advice that I’ve been given from friends and associates. For a guy its simple, if you’re interested — ask her out. For us, its some weird balance between being silently bold and forward, but yet never approaching and sitting at the seat waiting for someone else to initiate.
Well, I have struck out and been turned down. After what happened last year, my primal urges have returned with a vengeance…despite taking up extra hobbies like: applying for school, working multiple jobs, and upping my gym routine, I had trouble quieting this instinct.
Its time to hunt. And then feed.
Now, while I never go praying-mantis on a guy, I am this close to clubbing one over the head and dragging down a dark alley.
Long story – short, I walked away with someone’s email address.
WTF?!
Everyone tells me this is a good thing. I guess numbers these days are just too much to remember, especially when they are not in order.
I don’t know when or if I will start a cyber-journey with this dude, but here are some tips to asking a guy out based on my experience.
DON’T ASK!
Really, don’t straight out and ask him, “Let’s go back to your place,” or “What’s your number?” or any variation of this question. If you want to initiate contact, great! But do it with friendly conversation on some mutual topic, like the sports game that is playing at the bar. You two should fall into such great conversation that he will be dying to ask when he can see you again…hopefully. If not, then there was nothing there. Even the shyest guy will find a way to contact you again.
Stay Classy!
Ladies, how many times have you turned down a guy? I bet you did at least twice this weekend! Whether he was obviously asking you out, or was sending subtle glances and smiles your way while on the train. Well, you better be able to handle rejection like a classy lady in public and pour it all out like a bitch with a blog in private. If a guy says no, or is rude and ignores you — move on. Move on to another seat, another drink, or even a different bar if you have to. Now, if its someone you know or that’s in your circle (co-worker or colleague..etc) definitely keep things cordial so it doesn’t affect your day-to-day life.
Now if he said, “Yes” but fucked you over, then tear him down.
No one can please you….like YOU!
So, did you spend half the night going from bar to bar, only to come home alone? Well I found a solution to that. Get a pet! Having a dog or cat can make great companionship and bring a different level of affection and loyalty.
As well as a Jack Rabbit will help fulfill your carnal needs.
So what tips do you have for asking out a guy? And guys, do you like being approached, and if so, how?
