inbox question: can i ask a guy on a date?
nagawa ko din yan before,those time that all my 'common sense' goes out of the windows kapag kinilig ako!HA!
but of course now, i already turn PRO...those hanging out is for amateurs. So now, if I may suggest and would suggest na lang to *flirt heavily instead...til the guy will notice you and ask you out on a date po...KASI, if a guy is reallllly into you and MEN knows they supposed to as a girl out. If not, would you want to be with a guy that has no balls to ask you out ba?
Remember, in #DATING there's a pursuer and the challenge.You/lady is the *challenge.You are the prize.And remind yourself,to be *approachable.it doesn't mean that you're easy but *receptive lang
Okay... I may be a little bit old fashioned but not THAT old fashioned.
In dating, I guess it's fun to be the one being pursued, you're the challenge, you're the prize. But, I don't really understand, nor appreciate this mindset.
If I really dig a guy, I would ask him out -- either to just "hang out" or on a date. I don't think there's anything wrong with that (unless uber-macho si guy na, yeah, he wants a "challenge").
Or maybe perhaps, sa "dating" we have hopes of building a romantic relationship with someone. True naman iyon. And women often do it by the book, and by the book is, in my opinion, the conservative way -- waiting or putting herself on the market to be "pursued".
Sorry, I'm just thinking aloud here. Iba-iba rin siguro sa mga lalaki.
Some guys might appreciate "Would you like to go out with me on a date?" .... wait! That's too... uhm... formal? Dafuq?
"Hi! You seem like a nice guy... maybe we could get to know each other over a cup of coffee or something...?" Too forward? Still too fomal? Too mushy? *sigh*
Lemme try again: "Tara! Gimik (or insert some fun, wholesome yet fun, activity here) tayo!"
It might be just the two of you, or with a third wheel, or a group of friends... He might not consider it a "date" date. Hell, even you might not want to consider it a date. But it can still be considered a "date" nonetheless.
What is "dating" after all? Isn't it setting a common time, place, activity (opportunity) to interact with each other? Kahit nga online, pde ito gawin. If it blossoms into a wonderful friendship, cool! If it turns into more than that, great! If you get stuck in the friendzone... oh well...
Better leave your rose-tinted expectations at home... yeah, I know na kinikilig ka dahil crush mo siya since you set your eyes on him, but stop counting his babies or stop imagining him waiting for you at the altar. It might not come to that. You can keep it casual. Or you can turn it into something romantic... but some factors to consider are how well you can get along with him or her; how you feel towards him or her; how he or she feels towards you; and how you both feel when you're with each other.
Anyway... yep, am babbling here... this is just a scratch paper I'm writing... of course you can immediately skip to the next page... no, I won't mind...
Anyway, we all may have different opinions about dating. But I think, a common thought we have is that dating is about meeting and getting to know people, right? Going out on a date doesn't have to be followed by wedding bells, right? Okay.
So, I don't think there's harm if a woman asks a man out on a date. In fact, I think she should if she wants to. If he rejects... NEXT! I'm just kidding. But it's liberating to ask a guy out, get turned down, than flutter like a butterfly around a guy, hoping to get his attention and not get any at all...
I've googled a lot of articles on dating. There are a lot of varying / differing opinions, tips and suggestions out there. There are a lot of "Dating Experts" or gurus out there... (I'm curious about this, though... how does one become an expert on dating? They have been asked out many times? They have dated many partners and all of them were successful dates? What's the rate of success? Both of them enjoyed the dates? They slept together? There's a high chance of another date? What is the benchmark of a successful date? Marriage proposals? )
If men and women often date by the dating book... but which book? There are a lot of imported books, if I may add...
But in the end, I think it's about how you feel towards this other person; how he or she feels towards you; how well you can get along with him or her; and how you both feel when you are with each other.
And I think, those things are the stuff that needs to be discovered, as you get to know each other while engaged in a common activity on a time and place you both agreed on, which is generally called as "dating."
*Sigh* There are still a lot of thoughts but I think I'll stop babbling now and shoot myself in the head...
