Can Girls Ask Guys Out?

  • There is no Scripture verse or Catechism reference that answers the question, “Can girls ask guys out?” because it’s a morally neutral issue that may vary from culture to culture or era to era. But Jackie and Bobby give it a shot!
    Traditionally the man initiates relationships with the opposite sex because he’d rather assume the risk than have the woman do so, but it’s just not that simple anymore. Especially in our culture, courting has gotten strange. There’s a lot of ambiguity and as a result many young adult men are aloof. Sometimes guys just don’t know what’s OK anymore when it comes to pursuing a lady, so in those cases a guy may appreciate the girl initiating.
    Especially when meeting in a young adult setting, you may never see that person again, so there’s no problem giving your number to him or asking for his.
    There are limits to this kind of initiation, though. If the lady does clearly initiate the relationship and then the guy does not pursue, he is not husband material.
    So, ladies, there is no harm in asking a guy out if you’re looking for clarity and closure. (The same goes for men, by the way.)
    One last piece of advice on this matter: Ladies, if you do ask a guy out, make it clear that it’s a date.

    As a very anxious guy, my mind will come up with every reason why a girl is just being nice and isn't interested in me. A blunt "I want you to ask me out" is a huge stress relief and not at all rude. It's very much appreciated

    I think there is truth to a man being aloof. I been in situations where I thought a women did not like me and found out later that she was interested. And other situations where I thought a women was in interested in me and she was not. And everything in between. So I've come to the conclusion that If there is a woman I'm interested in I just pursue no matter what impression I have. And of course in a respectful manner.

      Facts girls should do this more often they only have a 3 % chance of getting rejected while guys have 97% chance of getting rejected, if a guy is muscular it lowers down to just 75% or being rejected. In my case I can't even talk to women and I just go full mute especially if they are attractive so my chances of me being rejected if I were to try to ask someone out it would be a chance 99.8% of being rejected (I'm ugly too). I'm a guy by the way so yeah.

    I have a question which I havent been able to find a coherent answer to and was wondering if you guys could help with that. The question is that why must it be men who does the pursuing instead of the ladies when it comes to relationships? I know that I believe that to be the case but I cannot find a good way to explain why.
    Or maybe it could be a wrong idea to believe? I'm not very sure. It would be great to see a video explaining this someday! Keep up the great work!🙆‍♂️

      Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

    I think why the bible doesn't say whether it's right or wrong for a woman to ask a man out is because marriage is largely our choice. We don't choose our family or relatives or placeof birth, God chooses that for us. But in marriage he gives us the freedom and power to choose ourselves. The only clause is that the person has to choose us as well. However, God's word and prayers provide the guidance as we choose.

So I felt lonely 😞 to. But thankfully I met my wife and I kind of let her know by asking if she wanted to get ice cream after class or work. And just being myself around her and seeing how she would react lol. But she was a joy to be with and so it didn’t take long to let her know how I felt.

It's like a hard and fast rule that I need to break sometimes I think. But it's also an ego protection. I just want to make sure that the man really likes me and pursues me.

    Not a good idea to ask a guy out on a date or show obvious signs that you are sexually attracted to a guy unless others have done enough homework for you about him first [Sometimes that isn't enough and so do your own homework first next too before accepting the advice to] after his parents have encouraged you to do so already and there is not too much age difference between you. The reason? It is like taking a big risk that the person you are asking or giving away your heart to might be already dating and being intimate with one or more women already or worse yet, married and often 'forgetting' his wedding ring at home and so it is like maybe setting fire to a field if you are in any culture where divorce happens a lot and which is far more often with so many divorces around tolerant of polygamy and even polyamory if it is a man at the center of that polyamory than most people in it are willing to admit.

    It depends upon the guy some guys like myself see a woman asking them out as being to forward which guys like myself see it as being the man's job to ask out a woman. Generally women that are to forward tend to be feminists not saying that they are all like that. It use to be that a man intrested in a woman would ask their father for permission to date and even more traditionally to marry a woman back during the 19th century marriages were still arranged.
    The modern day feminist women have taken on a more assertive role if anything it makes them seem masculine like a man.

    One of the enduring effects of feminism has been that there is no longer a "safe" social context in which men and women can interact and gauge the other's interest in them. Women and men alike deliberately hide their affections, and men must often ask a woman out - if they even know how to ask - based on nothing more than physical attraction. Which seldom ends well for men. If women as a whole were more approachable, more empathetic, they wouldn't have to ask men on dates.

    I like watching your videos, Jackie and Bobby! Bobby, to your point about not knowing how to pursue a woman anymore these days--I would say that if men have trouble distinguishing the meaning of her "no" or "I'm not interested" as anything other than exactly what it was--a "no" or"not interested"--that literally IS the problem, encapsulated. If men are feeling "threatened" by the current cultural movement and emphasis on consent--I don't mean to be facetious, but the problem truly lies with them, then, and you can bet your bottom dollar they weren't doing it the right way in the first place. To me, it sounds like some men are flabbergasted that a woman could *possibly* reject them, or not take persistence as "cute," and that leads me to conclude they're coming from a perspective that women "owe" them something, rather than respecting the fact that women are their own autonomous, loving, perfectly intelligent and worthy beings capable of making their own decisions and deciding whether they'd like something or not.
    From a woman's perspective, it's pretty simple--respect that we mean what we say, just as you would ask us to respect that you mean what you say. If you/we change our mind later on, that's another conversation--but don't go in assuming that dogged persistence equals just a matter of time before we'll be "won over." Of course, there's no harm in asking someone out--as Pope Francis said, "Love is an invitation, never a demand" (and think about it--Jesus ALWAYS asks our consent before doing anything, even healing...so shouldn't our lives and expressions of love be the same?...anywho, I digress)--but I think it's a bit mocking to make fun of consent in the "do you consent for me to pursue you" type of dialogue y'all were having there. Consent is NOTHING to sneeze at, especially considering the #metoo reckoning our culture is going through, and the continued unearthing of the sexual abuse crisis in our Church (I'm a proud Catholic as well). If anything, we should be dogged in our emphasis on how vital consent is, and that it can be taken away at any time during sexual activity. As a Church and as individual Catholic Christians, we need to shout from the rooftops that no one is EVER required to engage in intimacy with their partner if they don't want to. Consent is a prerequisite, not an option.

    Let me put it this way: I-- a man-- currently live in a culture where I have been called "creepy" and borderline sexual harassment for giving the most platonic, artistic, and non-sexual complements I could possibly think of on a woman's appearance. We're talking about things like "You're dress and hair colors complement each other beautifully in that picture". I also live in a culture where one single mistake in the eyes of said culture can ruin your life as they label and hound you forever, deleting internet accounts, getting you fired, and more. Given these circumstances, there's no way I'm going to risk making a move on a woman, or even showing the slightest amount in interest, in any situation other than a dating site where it's clear that they are looking for a relationship. So, yes, ladies, if you are interested, PLEASE make an obvious indication so that I know you're safe and won't fabricate rape charges against me because I thought you were trying to hold my hand and responded in kind when you didn't want it. Young men like me need ALL CLEAR signs to know when it's safe to come out of the bunker.

My comment below is not a critics, I'm just writing this if other europeans are reading me because clearly mentioning you are on a date would make flee most of man here, for sure...
    Clearly, here, this just breaks the ambiguity...while this is ambiguity which creates the tension and thus makes grow the attraction. If you know the other is already charmed then you won't think as much about her/him, man certainly would not develop as much feeling if they know the woman already find him attractive/great. They won't make effort if the "prey" is already them...So, slow down, show interest to make sure they understand (with smile, eyes, touch, a few compliment) but not too much and let the ambiguity last. The more you will meet, the closer you will become (physically too) and therefore the ambiguity will lessen (at the same time as your feeling strenghten because, hey, intially you actually don't know the person ! Attraction isn't love so slow down). If one of the person wasn't interested, they will be gone and would have stop this so I don't see why we should "say" explicitly things (until we feel ready to the big "I love you"). It just breaks the game and acts are meaningful on their own. Asking/accepting to see a person you hardly know just the 2 of you, is already clear enough...especially if this is during evening time for a drink or a dinner..you probably won't do that if you had no "romantic interest"...

    Who asked first initiates and indicates the the NEED of the woman or man to be married.
    Hence why Men are expected to ask first.
    Its easy to leave if you did not come of that needy in the first place.
    Woman understand this.
    Men in many circumstances like this end up as a drunk, suicidal
    Or leave the plantation completely.

      Agree. I don't ask men out. It's their job to do the asking.
