Dhutch1, I've always been one to wait around for guys to ask me out, but it's gotten to the point where I'm not getting very many dates:( What do have to lose by asking him to go out for a drink or something? If he makes up an excuse and seems uninterested, then nothing is lost, except maybe your pride.

embear, you are having trouble getting dates??? what the heck is wrong with these guys....shaking head in disbelief no one is asking you out. I mean you are a hottie, fun to be around, like to talk and in general just an all around good person.

Awwww, thanks Ewker! You are too nice to me. Guys in the south are not aggressive enough. The only guys who do ask me out are nasty ones I meet in bars. I guess I need to start going to other places.

what is it with women and nasty guys, us good guys never get a break...grrrr

That's because all the good ones (which are few and far between)are already taken!

embear - I think they're just harder to find. I've been lucky, very few bad boyfriends. Most just weren't right for me. But you do have to weed through them to find the good guys.

Ewker, you've made me feel really good today. I don't think you will have any problems out there in the single world.
Dhutch, how have you managed to find good guys? It must be those down booties! I've dated maybe one good guy, but he wanted to move in and get married after a month. Not so good after all.
embear

Those down booties are hot, aren't they? And newgirl wants me to be her fashion advisor???

Dhutch, why do the fellas always have to take the initiative? Its as if you woman have no balls of your own.

I don't think there is anything more impressionable than a woman with some balls. You should ask him out and not feel awkward about it. Our days are numbered here, make the best of them.

I'll follow up what Briar says. dhutch, sheesh, you seem confident in every other way. Ask a guy out! cripes!!
lizs

Briar Rabbit - would you really want us if we had balls?

Kidding aside - it's not as much about fearing rejection, you guys do get the raw end of that deal. So I'd be willing to ask him out.
It's about ruining a perfectly good AR team dynamic. I guess the real question is which do I want more? I'll have to think about that.
dhutch1

ASK HIM OUT...I have asked out a great guy for New Years...I hope he accecpts!!!

I hope he accepts your invitation too divinity! He'd be a fool not to.

embear, I've seen your picture. Honey if you can't get asked out, you are definitely going to the wrong places. You must be going to male gay bars. ;)
If I was 20 years younger, I would be chasing you like crazy.

good luck, divinty... and where will you and that male slut stovestomper be going??? LMAO!!!

Hey dhutch, maybe it's just after a person has gone out with sooooooo maaaaaaaaany guys, but I've got the attitude we'll be friends. And my ex and I are friends when a relationship ends. Least it's gone that way for the great majority. And that included sports, such as volleyball, etc. So don't worry, it can be done with the right attitude, if things go south.

Aaaaah lizs - the old "I think we'd be better just as friends" speach. Used it. I'm glad it works for you. My experience is that I can handle that, but guys cannot. It only works if you're not going out with any one else. Then friends become posessive.

OK, mark lizs off the Xmass list! ;)

Uhh. Seems to me that if the guy was incredibly Right for you, you wouldn't have to ASK, you'd be spending all your time together--by default.

my 2 cents on dating. If it feels like dating, you're probably not working on a friendship--which is afterall, where IT all starts.

dhutch, just saying the team dynamics can go on. So I'm not gonna set the ball to the guy I WAS dating, cuz he showed up with a chick (or I have a date there)? I think not! Cuz he's the major spiker on the team and my will to win is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too strong to not do what's best for the team. LOL!
lizs

oopsie, I just realized lizs has 'dated' half the men on this site...

(ducks and RUNS)
biz
1:25:03 PM
12/08/03

and by the same token, same situation... so he wouldn't be passing the ball to you to set, when you're the stellar setter and you're in the setting position? Again, I think the will to win would be too strong for other crap to be taking place.

Must be some ugly chics on TT
I get the idea that many of chics in here don't get dates very often. It's hard to see from the blurry pictures so I can't tell if you have beards. Maybe if you would spring for the costs of the date someone would go out with you. From the sounds of it you'd ask the dude and then he would have to pay. Refer to my rules for a good relationship about dating.
Thats probably why dhutch won't ask. Too cheap.

Oh, cool breeze, you're just mad because I opted for gear instead of asking you out. Yep, got me that spanking new bandana I've been eyeing. Seemed worth more than spending time with you.

cool.. I am VERY picky about who I date..I get asked.....I just refuse alot.....I won't date men unless they like to do the things I like to do.....and I may not be a skinny beauty....but I am alot of fun and have alot of friends....and I may get lonely every now & then....but I would rather sit at home alone that go out with just anyone....

WEIRD!
You wouldn't believe what happened. I get home from work and an ex shows up at my door. He had a Steeler hat for me, he didn't think I'd be home. It was amazing he blew me off about 2 years ago, by not calling me back. I saw him a few months later I was out and he showed up where I was and tried to explain why he didn't call (really not explanation at all).

I've made a few mistakes like that Tango - never tried to make up for it with a hat though.

if it had been a Tin Foil hat then that would be a different story

Wooooowhoooo!!

I finally got the sexy Argentinian man's - who's been my train friend for awhile now - phone number! Actually, he asked for mine - I of course gave it to him - and then asked for his!

Now, if I get together with this man - it will definately be a date as this is the first guy I've actually been excited about since.....well, you know..

Hubba hubba is he a cutie!
