Is it wrong?

No i don't think anything is wrong with it. It depends on what type of guy a girl is looking for though. A guy that is confident and likes the girl will ask the girl out. If he doesn't then it means that he is either not confident or doesn't like the girl.
The only times when i've been approached by a girl was by girls w/o the utmost moral fiber,,,, to put it politely. :)

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It is a bit "untraditional" if you've come from a family that you have described... however, in my opinion it's not that untraditional in today's society.

Personally, I haven't ever asked a guy out on a date... I don't know exactly why. I enjoy being asked I suppose... and perhaps don't want to put myself out there! I kind of think that the guys I like tend to be ones that wouldn't have a problem asking a girl out if they are interested... therefore, if they are, they eventually ask me out. However, if I was ever attracted to a shy guy, maybe I would take the first step. Don't know.

But no, nothing wrong with it at all.

Yeah, I think that if the guy you like is shy, he would most certainly appreciate your straightforwardness. You just have to know who you're dealing with.
true, true :)

Thanks all of you guys. I was only wondering what you'll thought about this topic.

While I don't think there's anything wrong with it, there may be a better option. Why not give him hints that you like him, and then see if he ask you out? I prefer a girl to drop hints, and let me ask her out. Of course, these have to be obvious hints because I'm usually oblivious about when a girl likes me (sometimes I find out years later, when she's no longer available).

I agree with the general consensus that there's nothing wrong with it. In fact, if a girl asked me out it would be a big encouragement, even if nothing came of it. Knowing that a girl actually found me datable enough to overcome personal fears of rejection and mld societal disapproval to ask me out would not only raise my estimation of her(and thus the likelihood that I would want to go out with her) but would give me a little more self-confidence the next time I had to decide whether to take the plunge and ask a girl I like out.

And the same is obviously true if you were to ask a girl out... :)

Actually, from what I've gathered from the few women I've known, girls are most likely to consider asking men out when they haven't been asked out recently, mostly because of irritation at them for being the stinkin' cowards some of us(particularly me!) are. :)

Sorry dude, I didn't imply you were a coward - sorry if it came out wrong.

We have to take the plunge as men, but to do so we need to overcome our insecurities. And that we can only get from the Lord, so we have to go to Him. The point I was trying to make is that most girls will realise the courage it takes for us to ask her out, so she'll probably esteem you higher for having the guts to come out and ask her out.

I don't think it's wrong for a woman to ask a man out. Then again if you make your feelings known to him me might just ask you out...then again you said that you were just wondering so that last part really doesn't apply...ok, I'll stop babbling now...

No worries, when it comes to dating I am one.

I'm not sure whether any of the girls I've asked out admired my courage for doing so or not, but if they did it wasn't enough for them to say yes.
