From Green's thread, it is apparent that a lot of guys are scared to do the asking. Some to the point that they just don't. So, suggestion time...
LADIES: If you were a guy, how would you ask yourself out?
MEN: For those of you who say you would be okay with a woman asking you, how could she ask without having you feel that she was being overly aggressive?
I've been asked out before and its very flattering. Both times I said yes too. Ladies really should do it more often. To me it doesn't matter how I get asked out. As long as she asks in english or a language that I understand, its perfect!
