Guys and Girls. . .

[DanTheMan]

For one, I am not a boy. (I keep trying to convince my son of this.)

Two, did I say "confusing"? I meant "confused".

My advice: Have your friend ask this guy out. . .get the guts up and don't worry too much about the "guy ask girl" out scenario. . .girls ask guys out all the time.

It scares guys. Guys like to do the asking.

[Hinata]

If it scares them. . .then I say to have them get their heads out of certain areas and to wake up to reality. . .Yes, traditionally guys have asked girls out, but times have changed and it's almost to the point that if a girl wants a date, they have to do the asking. . .nothing wrong with girls asking guys out on dates.

See, here's the problem: You are confusing talk with conversation.

Girls have conversations about guys - you know - with listening and learning and such involved? Guys just talk. We don't care what another guy thinks of his girl, and we don't care what another guy thinks of our girl. In fact, if he does tell me what he thinks of my girl, there could be trouble. We don't want to learn anything about other people and don't really care if anyone knows anything about us. So we just talk about stuff that contains no conversational matter at all. Like,
"She's hot." "Yeah."
or
"Women confuse me." "Me too."
or
"My girl is a Dolphins fan." "That sucks." "Yeah, it does."

See?

lol, omg very different from chicks.

as soon as a guy walks out the door, or anyone for that matter, me and my roomate sit there and talk and talk about them and analyze EVERYTHING(if one of us likes them anyways.)

very diffferent.

where did you get that information?.....shoot, if a girl asks me out, i give her extra points for getting up the gusto to actually say something instead of waiting for me to make a move.

[Lady Bookwyrm]

I personally have not asked a guy out on a date...but not because I don't believe in it, but because a) I don't have the guts to do it, b) I don't have sufficient funds to actually go anywhere "date-worthy" and c) I have no time. But when I get guts, money, and time...and if I ever find a guy worth asking...then heck yeah I'll ask him out if he doesn't beat me to it. There's nothing wrong with it...I think guys are more scared to do the asking than to be asked.

Well, I think there are two kinds of guys.

The stuck-up, conceited, over-confident type of guy may generally ask anyone out they want - thinking that it is girl's privelege to go out with him. This type of guy, if rejected, will tend to place blame on the girl for being more stuck-up than him, and therefore does not take it personally.

The nice, polite, sensitive gentleman is often a little more shy. He is often sensitive to the fear of rejection because he feels that there is some type of defect in his character that has caused her to turn him down. He may also feel that it is somewhat presumptious and rude to hit on every girl that is nice to him, because he is also the type of man that respects a woman's friendship.

There are exceptions, of course, but I think that is true in many cases.

I hope I am in the second section

if not you may all slap me

[dgan]

I've been both, which is why I at least think I know what I'm talking about.
