You girls drive me NUTS!

I dont understand why girls are so afraid of rejection?  Girls don't get rejected very often!!  Guys dont know how to say no! We have no practice at it!

In my experience, if a girl approaches a guy, shes got like a 90% shot of getting him to take her out, even if shes approaching a guy out of her league.  It's just a fact of the dynamic.  Guys usually have to work so hard to get a date, we LOVE when we get one without the effort.

Girls, its easy to let any half way experienced guy know you like him.  There are about a dozen different signals we look for from a girl to know if shes interested.

If she laughs at ALL our jokes, even the un funny ones.  If she sympathizes with everything we tell them.  If she actually takes a minute to encourage US to talk (instead of just blabbing away the whole time).  If she leans in when shes listening.  If she makes eye contact.  If she seems nervous.  The smile is a BIG one.  Guys always look to see if the girl is smiling.

Also, another good sign guys look for is if she shows an interest in the things we do.  girls do this to give us an opening to invite them places.  For example, if I say how much I love going to the track, and she declares "Ohhh! I love horses!" then thats my opening to say "well, we should go for the spring meets this weekend!".  

So just try to give him those kinds signals.  And if hes interested in you, he will take the bait and if hes not then he can casually ignore them and no one gets embarrased.

Unless you think hes too naive to pick up the signals.  Then you should just jump him and see how he responds.  :wink:

thanx Andrew! i did all that... but he didnt seem to pick up on it, or maybe he's not sure...
i not only acted but was intrested in everything he did, when he told me how he broke his leg i sympathized with him... and when we talked about our brothers we sympathized with eachother. at first we both had a lil problem with the eye contact, but after like 5 mins that was going on too... and i think i smiled and laughed alot!
we have a lot in common... so it was easy to make a conversation with him, and we both talked equally 50% of the time

Girls are afraid of rejection but what i've always thought that if a boy really likes me, he'll ask me out. I don't want him to say yes just because i'm an opportunity to pull someone, u know?

Holly,
  This is going ot be unpopular advice.... BUT, if you gave all the signals and he didn't respond then there are a few posibilities...

1) He didn't notice

in which case hes not very bright or experienced and you dont want him

2) he noticed but hes undecided

in which case hes wishy washy and you dont want him

3) he noticed but hes not interested

in which case hes stupid and you dont want him

.... so regardless, hes not a guy you want.  Move on.

Unless you just want some action, then jump his bones!!!!!

I'm absolute terrible at asking women out.  I feel like a total retard because it comes out like I'm mentally dissabled.  I can see it in their facial expression that they are wondering if I should go out with this guy because he's a idiot.  LOL  hence I hardly ever "ask a woman out on a date"  But I still manage to get by if I really want to have an active dating life....   But I'm sure I miss a lot of nice people because of it.  My dates seem to just happen.

Girls! You're nuts!  How many times have you just approached a guy and asked him out?  Seriously!  

The only girls I've ever turned down were the REALLY sketchy ones.   Any normal and half-way cute girl who has come on to me i've taken out.

Granted, thats like 2.  But still.  Most of the time, girls just sit back and expect a guy to take all the risks.

Why is that?  Why is it that a guy has to risk getting hurt in asking a girl out but the girl doesn't have to risk anything?  Thats hardly fair.  *hmph*.

Don't you see? Thats what i'm saying, we don't want to be taken out because we're 'half-cute' or 'normal', we want to be taken out because you liked us in the first place!
