SuicideGirl: Cake

I need advice.

I like someone and I'm trying to figure out whether I should initiate something or not. (I have never asked anyone out before.) My plan thus far has been to just ask him if he would like to hang out sometime, something casual and friendly, but I still haven't found the right moment or more importantly the courage. And of course there is always the fear of rejection. I also don't know him that well, just someone I chat with on a semi-regular account, just someone I have particularly good chemistry with, someone I'd like to see more of. I'm just afraid it might come off a little presumptuous or overbearing (my mother, bless her soul, has done everything to engrained in me that men find it emasculating when women take the reins). The intelligent part of me tells me not to do it. But the romantic part of me tells me to go for it.

What do you think?

Do it. The worst place you can be is where you are now and at least you tried! And if where you are now isn't that bad then it's an even better idea really... I doubt someone is going to reject you though. You rock!

Masculinity and strength are two different things. I think it shows more of a strong woman when she is willing to grow some balls and ask a man before he asks her. For the wrong guy it will come off too strong, for the right one it will come off as a real turn on! You are already very intelligent and I have no doubt that you are a strong woman too! I say go for it!

All the cliches apply. 'Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, and all that.

Any guy would be incredibly lucky to have your attention. I know he'll be flattered and happy if you initiate. miss you!

Have a dinner party. Invite him and a couple of your other friends over. Try to discourage him from bringing anyone some how. That's all I've got.

or you could do a holiday party and try to get him under some mistletoe.

In no way do i find it "emasculating when women take the reins" ..... as your mom says. I would find it very appealing if a woman made the first "hey, i kinda like you" move. I say go for it... and keep us posted!

I agree with TDibz. Ask him out. Real men enjoy a little women's lib.

The intelligent part TELLS you to do it. your mother took a granular truth and built her life around it, moving it out of proportions. Tell him. approach him. do your move girl. with all of this fanfare going around, with your fans coming by the hunderds are you still at doubt...?

Be romantic, and go love your self a little.
