Women Asking Men Out.what's The Big Deal? by Lokooneone(m): 1:39pm On Apr 24, 2012
He who created them from the beginning,created He male and female_Gen1:27

A further reading of the above chapter says a man shall leave his parents and cleave unto his wife and they both shall become one flesh.

Is it safe to conclude from this biblical version of man and woman union that a man is saddled with the responsibility of initiating a relationship?

Most culture of the world today aptly believe it's a man thing to ask a woman out and frowns at it when it is the other way round.

The question is;is there any gender tradition or rules that says the man is expected to make all the efforts when it comes to courting,dating and marriage proposals?

Personally,I think women should break social norms and conformities when it comes to approaching men if romantically or sexually interested.Pronto!

Let me feel ur pulse now.

Apparently, there's no biggy. It's misapplying scriptures like the one quoted above that makes people to think that the man should make the first move and all that blah. Now tell me, where in that verse does it say anything about a woman not asking a man out? What that verse simply implies is that when you leave you father and mother, you stick to your wife and become father and mother to someone else. You both become the most important people in your individual lives ahead of your biological parents. . . You first duty is to your wife, even ahead of your own mother and vice versa. In other cultures where the woman pays groom price, does the man not leave his father and mother?
Asking someone out is an individual thing. If as a woman you are too shy to ask a man out, then fine and good for you. If you are brazen enough, good also. I'm also for the motion of women going for what they want. Why die in silence? The last time i checked, there is no harm in trying. . .

Part I: No one really wants to put himself/herself out there and make the first move. While I won't ask a man out, I will let him know that I'm interested and that it's okay to ask me out. I feel like if both parties indicate interest in each other the plans to see each other again will come naturally. The key in either case is to openly express interest and gauge if the interest is mutual. I may say "let's keep in touch" or "do you have a card?"

The problem arises when I have shown no interest in you, you haven't started a real conversation with me, and you act entitled to my number. I'll be polite at first. Asking more than once won't elicit anything beyond resentment on my part.

Part II: Why won't I ask a man out?
I don't have to ask nor do I want to make him feel that I took something from him. Some men like the conquest of asking a woman out. Also, if it's a first date, I don't intend to pay, and you shouldn't ask if you don't intend to pay for the date.

Men prefer to do the chasing and most men don't like it when a woman ask them out. I have asked my male friends this question and this is what they told me, only a few don't mind. I think most women are open to this but don't just to avoid criticism from men only because she expressed her feelings. I have done it and I don't regret it one bit because now he keeps saying he's at his happiest since he met me cheesy

I expressed my feelings to my bf first. It was very awkward putting myself out there because it was something I'd never done before. I was very fearful of rejection. I'm so glad I did though! Wasn't about to let that one slip away at alllllllllll lol. Sometimes, you have to go with your gut instinct. It's very unconventional, but the guy may end up liking you the more for it.

I dont mind a babe asking me out. She get to be fine sha. And tall. And slim. Arszy. Boobsied. She doesnt have to be very bright.No complaint abt money-this is important. But they are usually wanting in one or all these. For these reasons I prefer to pick one whose shortcoming I can live with.

What is this world turning into?

Of course there is big deal!

Given as the poster used bible passage, which I believe is twisting it in favour of this argument, where in the bible was there a woman who made a move or an approach towards a man?

Someone is referring to white chics asking their men out, do the white people still have values? of do they still value their religion, or their culture? or havent all their senses been eroded by foolish pleasures?

and now it wants to foolishly make its way into ours seeing as we copy them for almost everything

Now we too are kissing in public, mschewwww

WOMEN PLS MAINTAIN UNA VALUE, highest give advances

Ruth Sleeping in Boaz's tent was the advance, it was left for him to do the follow up. But women outrightly doing it? Come on? undecided

It was the advance you say, but you earlier inferred that there was no place where a woman made a move or an approach a.k.a advance, towards a man in the bible! I asked you to read RUTH so that you will see where a woman made an advance. . . Therefore, you contradicted your earlier statement and also LIED blatantly against the bible. . . wink Care should be taken when referring to bible passages in a bid to prove a point.

Where in the bible were women asked NOT to outrightly ask a man out? It's a matter of choice. If a woman decides to ask a man out, she should not be castigated. Pls leave the bible out of this!
