Would I Ask A Guy Out?

In the past century in this part of the world Nigeria to be precise, a woman being too forward is always seen as a cheap woman. She is seen as someone who doesn't have morals or values, which is why they tend to stay low key and not do anything out of the ordinary.

In my opinion, I think it's right for women to be the first to make advances or approach a guy they might like? Well I will say it's not a bad idea if she is bold enough to do it, someone said something one day, she said she might be interested in someone and don't want to be forward in approaching the guy, but when the guy in question has no clue that he is been like then, she loses him to some other girl, she stated clearly as I heard her, "if I ever meet someone I like , I am going to tell him how I feel about him and if he accepts fine and if he doesn't it's also fine too" those were are words , so I don't think it's a bad idea to stake one's claim.

For me I have never asked a guy out, I am not that bold, the only thing I know I am quilt of is , when I know I like someone, I make sure I am always around the person and then I give them this side eye at every minute we might be together and if he catches in fine.

I remember one guy that I had some of this to, I think he caught on but decided to pull my legs , he said "treasure what happened, what's wrong with you? You have been looking at me for a while now and you are not saying again" I was embarrassed a bit because there were two other persons there too, I jokingly waved it off and said it was nothing I was only concentrating on what he was saying.

Mehn, I was embarrassed. I couldn't stop thinking about the day and kept hanging around him. One day he faced me when we were sitting alone and gave me a sweet kiss on the cheek. I asked what he did that for, and he said nothing. We were both surprised, but I was happy. I didn't know what to say, so I just thanked him and he smiled back. From then on, I knew that he liked me too.

So that was our first day out together. I don't think I would ever be bold enough to ask a guy out 😁 We started seeing each other more often and eventually became a couple.

I never asked a guy out on a date. In my country doing this is also seen as daring. Well, it was when I was a teenager. Now, since everything has changed so much, I don't even know anymore 🤭

Yes it is always taken for being too forward.
But now a lot of girls do this

a woman who is waiting for a man to ask her out on a date looks more elegant than she has to ask a man to date her, nice post sister, i like your opinion

I feel waiting to be asked out seem like a more better option, so one doesn't come out awkward, but still it happens

I have seen some who take too much time to confess their feeling and sometimes it's late because someone else take the opportunity. I am just wondering I would confess about my feeling if I feel she surely accept my proposal otherwise I won't make any effort for it. Rejection seems losing self-respect and I won't take the risk in this case.

I will understand according to body language. Besides I am not the who will fall for anyone suddenly. At least a bond of friendship will be made and it will be easy to understand.
