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)

Zimfan said: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.![]()
RooiWillie said: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.
