Do men like it when a woman asks you out or do you think that its too up front??

He'll hate it and ignore you afterwards.

My wife asked me out at a time when I definitely didn't have the confidence to think that a girl like her would have been interested in me. We've been together for 7 years and happily married for 1 yr+.

Fortune favors the bold. Any guy who thinks that it's 'too forward,' or 'too easy,' is a backward, narrow-minded moron who is not worth wasting your time on anyway.

Years ago I really fancied this guy but couldn't pluck up the courage to ask him out cos everytime I went into the shop where he worked there were other people there. He knew me through work and was always friendly but I couldn't decide if he liked me or not.

So, I sent him a letter something like this:

Hi its _______ here. Was wondering if you fancied going for a drink sometime.? Please tick one of the following:

1. I'd love to yes
2. I'm washing my hair
3. Fuck off, I dont fancy you
4. I'm moving to Australia tommoro, sorry
5. I'm going out with someone

I sent it, and enclosed a S.A.E.

Never heard a thing back, and never went near that stupid shop again:mad: First and last time I ever asked anyone out..

Would have been worse if He'd ticked the Fluck off, don fancy you box and went to the trouble of sending it back....:)

It's to be encouraged. Why should men do all the work?

+1. If you like someone, just go for it, don't sit around waiting for them to make a move. They might never do it!

I have no problem whatsoever with a girl asking a guy out but if I got this letter I would tick 2-5 and move house. Imagine if a guy sent this to you? Asking someone out is far easier than people think. Don't make a big deal of it, just walk up, smile and ask them out for a drink. If they say no just smile and walk away. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Kold · 12-06-2008 05:07PM

Incredibly OT but you do realise that your name is a really cheap brand of toilet paper?

I always wondered about the board meeting to come up with that one, figured some guy was like "Hey, the name is one of the most important parts of the product, we really need people to buy this stuff. Come on lads, what makes you really want to wipe your arse? What would be the best thing to wipe your arse with?"

*silence for 20 seconds*

"erm... *cough*... a kitten?"

/vote is unanimous

Move house? Jesus, it was a bit of fun..

I would be flattered if I got a letter like that and if I wasnt interested I would just tick fuck off and send it back, or chuck it in the bin. Whatever, I wouldn't move house though:rolleyes: This stalker thing is obviously getting to people..

I agree, its not stalkerish, it might be a little weird but its kinda sweet too.

silvine · 12-06-2008 05:09PM

Funny letter but I can't imagine many blokes responding to that.

Yes ask him and let us know the result!

Ah I'm messing. Seriously though, there is no way that letter is going to work unless the girl hands it to me in person with a cheeky smile. Plus the options you gave need to be a bit more playful. You gave one positive option and 4 negative ones.

Be a bit more optimistic Loop!

I wouldn't care how pig ugly she was, I still tick 5 and send it back, maybe with an explanatory few words. Kindness costs nothing.

Ah it was years ago, cant remember exactly what I did put in it but it wasn't all negatives and it was kinda funny. He obviously didnt think so though;)

Im with someone years now and he was the one who asked me out, no letters, just plain old fashioned, would you like to go on a date..

OP I don't think there's anything wrong with a girl asking a guy out on a date. The fear of rejection isn't nice but if you have tough skin it shouldn't bother you too much, his loss an all that. Think of all the blokes out there who have been rejected.. And me of course:D

Aww... but for all you know the postie lost it and the lad never even got it, if you really like someone don't let one bad experience stop you.:(

As to the OP, go for it, if he has an issue with you doing the asking he's clearly not particularly mature and probably not worth your time.

Better still maybe the postie had a crush on you and recognised your handwriting so he took it as a momento to help him dream of you.;)

She's got some stiff competition from that puppy though... When you think cute toilet paper ad do you immediately conjure up a mental image of the Andrex puppy or the Kittensoft kitten? IS there even a Kittensoft kitten?

Dang. Three years of commerce and I'm outsmarted by Dudess at the first hurdle. Looks like it's the dole queue for me.

Kittensoft, you might need to re-launch your brand. I suggest going with the new or improved look. It seems to have worked in the past. (As others have said though if a guy is really going to be put off by you asking him out then he wasn't interested in the first place, there's no trick to it. If you ask, you'll find out soon enough).

Aw, that's a shame, because that really is quite sweet. If I were him, and weren't interested, I'd have written an option 6 saying as much. I know we've established that the letter never got to him now, I'm just saying if, if.

13-06-2008 12:05AM

I wouldn't ever.
I like men with balls.

thefinalstage · 13-06-2008 12:24AM

Women of all shapes and sizes can be gotten by any man. Its all about body language and confidence. Make yourself look good, chat with everyone. Give the impression your not just there for sex.

As opposed to women with balls?

A few years ago an absolutely gorgeous girl, asked me to dance in the metal bar in bruxelles. I was very caught off guard by:

1) The wimmins showing interest in speaking to me without any effort or payment from myself.

2) How can you possibly dance to what I can only describe as the acoustic interpretation of a violent murder?

I was semi-pi55ed so I blurted out some crap about having a full pint and needing to drink it. Regretted my decision almost instantly. Anyway, the moral of the story is that us men don't like handing out rejection and seeing as you ladies are so good at it maybe we should keep things in the manner of time honoured tradition.

btw. I apologise to the girl in question. I was the fellow not dressed in black, you were with friends and looked out of place. :pac:

Lirange · 13-06-2008 07:03AM

Personally, I always felt more comfortable asking a girl out than having women approach me. It's easier to be rejected than to have to tell someone you're not interested. It happened a few times. I felt awful and awkward. It set with me much longer than when I was turned away.

Yes, its definitely been established he NEVER got the letter:D. Thanks though, I don't feel like such a weirdo now:p

That sort of thing would confuse me I would think it was some crazy hoax or trap to get my gold!

and I dont think that should count as asking someone out but more as a first step on the stalking ladder.:D
