There are still a lot of ladies out there who believe it is, well, unladylike
to ask out a man. Why is this still a thing? We can be strong and career-driven
but we still have to wait around and hope a man asks us out in order to go on a
date? That's just crazy talk. If you've ever wanted to ask out a guy, or you
ever do in the future, here are six reasons you should go for
it. 1. What doesn't kill us makes us
stronger. So it's a little scary. So you're afraid of rejection. And yes, getting
rejected might make you a little sad. But in the end, getting rejected will just
make you realize that it's not a big deal. You lived through it, time to move on
and ask out some more
guys! 2. Because you want to. Unfortunately we can't always get what we want. But you'll never know unless
you try. You should always go after the things you want, because they might not
realize that you want
them. 3. Because he's been flirting with you and it's driving you
crazy. Girl, listen. If this guy is flirting with you incessantly, he either likes
you or he's an asshole. If you ask him out and and he says yes, congratulations.
I hope you guys end up being super compatible and have lots of babies together.
If you ask him out and he says no, but continues to flirt with you, now you know
he's an asshole. You're
welcome. 4. He might not even realize. Much like you are sitting there, have a good time with your friend who you've
been pining after for years (or that guy you met tonight who is just SO cute and
funny), over-analyzing everything, thinking if he hasn't made a move by now he
can't possibly be interested, I've got a news flash for you: The guy could be
thinking the same exact thing. Crazy, right? But true. So just ask. Or make your
move. Because
otherwise… 5. You'll regret it if you don't. If you just keep flirting with him (or worse, just kind of existing near him)
hoping he'll "get the hint" and nothing ever happens, you'll regret it. You'll
always wonder. There is no hint quite as strong as, "Do you wanna go out some
time?" 6. You'll probably never see him again,
anyway. This doesn't apply to every situation, but it does apply to most adult
situations. So honestly, what could you possibly have to
lose? |
