just ask already!

Ok, I don't get it. Whether I message someone or they message me,
words have been exchanged. We'll go back and forth for a while,
sometimes even move on to IM. And then, NOTHING. This keeps
happening over and over and over again. If we've exchange emails
and/or have been IMing for a while, then I'm OBVIOUSLY interested!
Why does no one ever just say "Would you like to have coffee?" Is
no one able to follow through and just ask a girl out? Seriously!

What is stopping you from asking them?

lol fear of rejection?

i dunno. it just seems like i'm the one that always gives my yahoo, i'm the one that gives my phone number out. after a while, it seems like i'm making it damn obvious that im interested. i just dont get why i never get asked out on a date. seriously, not once.

Perhaps it is the guys you are talking to? I have no idea if they are all the same type or anything (or even if they are all guys). But there might be something like that.

yeah i dont think so. it has to be something about me. clearly. or they wouldnt all have the same reaction.

Then I got nothing. I hate asking someone out, but I do it when I meet someone I want to go on a date with.

Maybe people have a hard time getting past the internet phase? LIke maybe they dont wanna sound toooo creepy wih the "lets meet in person" thing.
Since we've been trained to think we're all perverts with candy filled vans

Instead, you're a pervert with a basement full of dead hookers.

Vans are so 20 years ago.

You try making the move next time.

Don't give out your number.

The guy that asks for it, he's the guy more likely to call.

im a romantic

Why do we always have to bother with coffee? Why can't we just say, "Would you like to have sex with me?" That's my problem. I'm always having coffee with girls.

I don't even like coffee...horrid stuff.

You like to go out for a lemonade or tea? makes me sound like some backwards english toff or someone who never mentally developed past 12...

This is the 21st century. Tear down this ridiculous gender roles of the man needing to be the aggressor!

THANK YOU CIGARETTE!

Absolute genius. I truly think a woman asking a man out to coffee or asking for a phone number is for one, a turn-on ( I think at least ) and two we do need to tear down the gender roles. And you all know when Dad's start staying at home, everyone will do it, and it will be the "cool thing" to turn the sexually oriented roles around.
