Anyone else experience this when asking someone out?

[boilerblues]

I've found that I tend to be more afraid of a girl saying "yes" than "no". I asked a girl out on Monday and she said yes, I think I was shaking more than when my raft flipped whitewater rafting. Yup, I'm a coward. I think it comes from not having dated very much (and I haven't been on a date for 6 years), and really not knowing what to do next. I have a plan for a date, we're going to go to the zoo. Just walking by faith from there.

I really am glad she said yes, just treading new waters.

I definitely understand what you mean boilerblues, I wish you tons of luck, and may God Bless you! Congratulations!!

It's always nerve-wracking to head into uncharted territory. GOOD LUCK!

hey, her saying yes opens up about 20 new possibilities for what could happen between you two. her saying "no" is simple and it's easy to predict the outcome.

have a great time!

I think I understand what you are saying. The way I look at it (or have experienced it) is that when she says "yes" she has more opportunity to ask more of you. When I was unsure of myself, this in itself could be daunting.

But you'll be fine, remember to have fun.

Yup! Definitely more scary and intimidating. I think it's because you expect so much for her to say no, then when she says yes it totally blows your entire prediction out the window and suddenly you're in "I don't know where to go next" land... All the same, though, now the adventure truly begins. Go forth, and enjoy!

After 6 years, that totally makes sense that you're a bit apprehensive to date again.

That's awesome she said yes Have fun!!

 

[Brutus/HisCatalyst]

^What She said. I hope God bless you in whatever way he has planned.

 

[boilerblues]

I heard a cool thought last night, to be brave you have to be scared first.

I'm a major control freak and tend to think things out to the smallest detail, I'm fighting not to put too much thought into this. I just wanted to enjoy some pleasant company on a Sunday morning at the zoo and let the Lord lead from there.

(BTW, we have an evening service at church that's the same as the morning services, so I'm not skipping church for this date. I'm running sound board for the evening service too).

No because my parents told me and my siblings saying it is best and most of all, better manners for the man to ask out the woman. And not the other way around. The man is more of the person who has the better manners. In their families for both my parents, they were taught that way as it's always been that way for them. So they passed it onto us.

 

[boilerblues]

Well, I went out with her this morning and we both had a great time. I knew she was a cool girl but....wow. We both have pretty crazy schedules the next few weeks, but I think we're going to get together for dinner this week I am officially in uncharted waters.......

 

[micaela]

I'm so happy for you BB - keep us informed how it is going .

Date 2 went well. Dinner at Pantera Bread before she went to her house church, I gave her a yellow carnation. We had a great time talking.

Friday I'm leaving on vacation for 9 days, I asked her if I could call her while I was gone and she said yes.

To God all the Glory for His goodness to me (and hopefully to her too!) Not that He wasn't good before, now I can see better His goodness during the time of waiting. And maybe this wonderful woman is just a step in the direction He wants to take me, if He has someone better I'm not sure I could handle that because what He has brought is very good

 

[JPPT1974]

That is wonderful and may He work great wonders in you and the person that you are dating. So far, so good. IMO, it went better than expected!

I definately know what you mean!

I spend WEEKS hoping that a particular guy will be interested in me and ask me out...and then i start to get signs that he IS going to ask me out, and all of a sudden I find myself praying that he DOESN"T ask me out.... ugh

on a side note, I got asked out a "date" today...i'm very nervous and don't reallly know "how" to date!


Good luck on your's!
