After reading the messages from this post I can't help but give my opinion (I'm getting back to the initial topic of the post). I am one of the "exceptions" that would ask a guy out. I've recently been having strong feelings for a classmate from school, and because he didn't have the balls to do it, I asked him out on a date one Friday night. He accepted with no hesitation, and we had a great time. I asked him out again for last week, and he agreed. He actually didn't show up to work on that day last week for me, and he does love his job.
Although I didn't mind asking him out, I do wonder why he doesn't ask me out for another date. He accepts with no hesitation when I ask, and we had a great time when we went out those two times, BUT he doesn't call. 'Is it because we are taking a class together that he doesn't call' or 'is it because he's just not interested but can't resist to flirt with me' I ask. We've also spoken about relationship topics such as if he is with someone or is seeing anyone, so I know that he isn't with someone else... according to him.
To get to my point, my opinion is that some girls are afraid of asking guys out because they don't want to be put in a position where a guy will think of them as desperate or needy. That's the reason why I don't want to call him, because I've asked him out twice, so I don't want to go out on a limb and look desperate by calling him. Yeah I was afraid of getting rejected like everyone else, but I knew that I had to ask him out to see if he was interested. I mean, the worst thing that can happen is him rejecting me. So what, I'll move on.
So now that he still hasn't asked me out, I am getting more convinced that he isn't interested in me that way (because he would've at least called or asked me out if he would've) and that he's "playing games" with me as his toy mouse. So if guys don't have the balls to ask a girl out, most likely the girl will think that he isn't interested in her. In my case, I'm just trying to move on. This is my opinion, not a statement. Sorry about the vent. Forget everything I said.
