How to Ask a Guy Out on a Date In 10 Easy Steps
The dating world can be one of great elation. There’s the excitement of the first date, the first kiss, and infatuation that can often lead to the beginnings of a passionate, fulfilling relationship. Conversely, dating can also be a source of stress and anxiety — enough to lead us to deeming ourselves forever destined to the single life, throwing our hands up in the air as we exclaim, “I quit!”
For women in particular, we often find ourselves in today’s current dating culture unsure of
whether or not to initiate romantic gestures, and — even when we are sure of our interest’s likelihood to reciprocate — we are often afraid to eschew convention and be the one asking the man out for a date as opposed to waiting to be asked. Shouldn’t we be the ones who are getting pursued? Isn’t it the man’s job to do the asking?
No, it’s not. Perhaps decades ago when various gender stereotypes reigned supreme, and gender roles were extremely concrete, this was true. Much has changed during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and with these changes comes a newfound independence for women. Not only are we able to take greater control over our professional lives, we also have more freedom within our romantic lives. Still, asking a man out on a date continues to be something that is approached gingerly by many women.
I’m here to present to you ways that you can turn those ginger steps toward a man you want to ask out on a date into giant strides! Let’s take a look at how to ask a man out on a date.
