Questions for the Women

[Xpendable]

Always?

 

[AmytheTemperamental]

I am difficult. I have a hard time figuring out if someone is being friendly or pushing for other things. I am always being friendly. So yeah, don't ask me out :club:

Does asking a woman out actually ever work ?

Yes, it does work.

 

[BeyondShy]

Does asking a woman out actually ever work ?

Yes.

Always?

You know **** well it doesn't always work. Why even ask that?

 

[Triple Bogey]

Yes.

what are the odds ?

one in a million ?

 

[BeyondShy]

Yes.

what are the odds ?

one in a million ?

It's a yes or no question so the odds are 50 - 50. 50% she says yes and 50% she says no. How's that?

In answering that question, use common sense. Is she around your age? Did you meet her doing an activity that you do so you have something in common? Is she way out of your league financially, meaning you live at home and she has her own place and is a corporate executive? Please don't ask someone out until you her a while. Looks aren't everything, and it is shallow asking someone for a date just based on their looks. There are, of course, exceptions to each of these situations. Try "balance" when asking a woman out...don't be too shy if you can help it, and don't act like you know her forever. This might not help you, but I wish you all the luck in the world.

I think the original question was about if rejections do ever stop.

 

[ThatZealousOne]

Well, I imagine it doesn't always work, asking a woman out. How can it? Heh. I do have a question though, what does one need to get a yes? If I walk up to a girl and ask her out, I'm going to get a no. I don't have any delusions about that, and I'm fine with that. But what is the best way of going about to get a yes? I mean, every woman is different sure, but there has to be some kind of general rule of thumb? A few things to maximise the chance of a yes? Not to sound like too much of a weirdo. Heh. Afraid I don't really know what I should be doing when I go to ask that kind of question, and whenever I have mustered up the courage it's been a stalwart 'no'. So instead of being myself and just generally trying to be nice, what should I be doing? Heh. Or is that the best thing to do and I just have been unlucky?

You know darn well that you responded to the question of does asking a woman out actually ever work? All you want to do here is argue and I have better things to do on this Saturday morning than do that.

Subtext, but ok.

Does asking a woman out actually ever work ?

How many millions if not billions of couples there are there in the world, if you take off the 'arrangements' somebody has asked somebody out, or made the move.

So I would say yes it does work.

 

[Rainbows]

Since when has a woman become some sort of probability theory? It depends on the woman. . . . we're not some kind of math question.

 

[VanillaCreme]

I agree with Rainbows. It's not math. We're not math.

And yes, it does. Perhaps not in your experience, but that doesn't mean it never happens.

 

[Serenia]

My point is that there are millions or billions of couples to prove it does work. It isn't a maths problem it is a fact. A man has asked me on a date this week and I have accepted, so yes it worked for him.

 

[ThatZealousOne]

Okay, so if it's not random probability on how a girl is feeling that day/the right girl right time, what is it then? How do us lonely guys get a yes from a girl? What makes women accept the offer of going out of a date with a man?

What I have witnessed myself, the woman usually asks the guy out or gets a friend too. I haven't seen many 'the guy likes a girl, asks her out and she says 'yes' situations. Doesn't seem to happen.
That's how couples get together. Mostly now it seems to be online. I mean how many times does a guy come on here saying he likes a girl and he is wondering about asking her out. And everybody says 'ask her out'
So he does and he gets knocked back. Everytime that happens. Every single time !
So that's why I was saying does it work. The three women I have been out with, two were online and the other was a mutual friend. Loads of situations where I liked somebody. It's never worked that way. Doesn't matter what you say, how much you talk to them, never works EVER. A waste of time ! I wish I could go back in time when I was 20 and tell myself that.

Did you want an honest answer, or did you just want to justify your experience? It's unfortunate that in your experience, it's never gone down as simply as asking and getting a yes, but it does happen.

I could just as easily say that in my experience, guys never ask women out. But because it's never really happened to me, doesn't mean it hasn't happen at all to anyone else. Because I know it has. Just not to me.

If you're just going to be stuck in what you believe, that's fine, but your experience of it doesn't determine the experiences of others.

Thats fair enough. That is what you have seen. What I have seen and experienced. I have never asked a guy out. They have always asked me. I have only said no once. All my friends it was the guy who did the chasing and asking. My parents the same. I think it boils down to what different people have experienced. Even in online dating, someone is sending the first message, someone is making the move to meet up in person.

Like I said I have been asked out on a date this week, and was really pleased he asked me.

Hmm...well I don't think I would ever go for chocolate ice cream, no matter how nice and attractive it was presented to me. I just don't like chocolate ice cream.

Yes, that's a metaphor. No, I'm not talking about dark-skinned people. No, I'm not racist either.
