When She Approaches You First

What do men think when a woman takes the initiative to ask them out? Do you prefer to be the one to bring it up? Because I've asked out half the guys I've dated I never thought how he might feel about it. Discuss.
No woman has ever approached me. I guess i’d Enjoy it bc I’d be flattered!

It's definitely preferable for a woman to ask in my view. Men are often quite poor at reading signals and even polite and respectful attempts can make a woman feel uncomfortable if she's had previous bad experiences with unwanted attention.

I'm flattered and appreciate the compliment. If I'm attracted we'll see where it goes. If I'm not, I politely decline and life goes on. Sounds like taking the lead works for you. Based on your posts and gallery, I'd imagine are quite successful, so keep doing what UR doing. Feel free to approach me anytime ;)

Of course I would accept and be happy just to have a social occasion. Isn't everything equality now ?

Can't believe I missed this thread! I have to say most women have approached me first so I'm good with it. I found it rather refreshing when I was single (but hey I'm 60 now). For me I validated the connection. I always had a hard time making the first move. And it always involved laughter!

As someone who is extremely shy around women in general, I've seldom summoned the courage to ask one out. I think it is awesome when a woman does it instead.

The whole idea of "men are supposed to be the initiators of dating" is antiquated anyway.

If I was approached by one, I would be flattered.
 
I'm not shy about it at all. I'll ask you certain questions or say "how does your significant other feel about that?" That's when they will let me know if they are available. I give compliments on appearance and intellect. Once his eyes glaze over. I go in for the kill. My success with it is why I continue to do it.
I do like your style!

I am flattered every time a woman initiates especially if she is attractive. However, I’m flattered regardless, because initiating isn’t easy & women are approached so often that there is no need to initiate. That move let’s me know she is interested.

@Tattooed Goddess if you initiated as described above while wearing those pigtails I’ve seen my eyes would be as glazed as donuts. Go ahead take me home & do as you will . I consent to it all!

In my opinion it’s more normal the older you get. I have never had a problem with it and have enjoyed a girl asking me out on numerous occasions. I remember contemplating this question all the way back in high school. What I concluded then is what I still feel now. I wish more women made the move to ask a man out. I feel like especially in today’s climate, it might even be that much more necessary from a woman’s stand point. Plus you have the added bonus of possibly getting what you want. Also, I think it’s good for a woman’s self esteem to feel that kind of interaction and how it could go. It’s a lot different than filtering all the advances towards you. That’s my thoughts.
 
I have been known to be oblivious to women dropping hints that they were interested in me. At least twice I have received letters from women I would have been interested in telling me how much they had been in love with me. If only they had said "hey, you seem like somebody I'd like to get to know better - interested?" It is a weird quirk that humans have - it's easy to tell someone you hate them but hard to tell someone you love them.

For THIS thread, I don't think we're necessarily discussing a woman telling a guy she loves him. I think it's more about a woman - somewhere between a casual acquaintance and a total stranger - telling a guy, "Hey, you seem like an interesting person. Can we spend some time together?".

I don't have a problem with it. Nor do I feel emasculated by it. It's fair game this day and age.

I'm completely flattered if a woman ask me out. But I always pay for dinner, drinks, movie, etc. Because if I ask a woman out I pay anyway. Unless she specifically says Dutch treat.

And if she initiates sex even better. I hate being told "no". Especially when her body is saying one thing and her lips are saying something else ha ha. I'm like is that no meaning yes or no meaning no? She usually says don't stop. Then we're get naked biggrin.

Like the last woman I went out with. She grabbed my hand as we start walking and tells me "I'm not having sex with you, you can go home and jack off all you want." Next thing I knows she grabs my dick through my pants telling me she wants to fuck. I like it when they do that.
