Being asked on a date
Jump to: Newest in thread
The question is where in the real world away from fab have you been asked for a date/meet and not just sex.
Pub, club, shop, supermarket, work or do people never ever approach you(no matter how clumsily)

Dancing or gigs but mostly online, is a numbers game  |

It's great that you're still approached in real situations like gigs and dancing.
I've talked to the women at work and they say it's a dying art unless alcohol is involved and that men don't come and say hi in many other situations |

I haven't been asked on a date for about three hundred years. If you move in the circles I do people assume you're married or just looking for sex. Mr N and I go on dates with each other but we don't have to ask.  |

I don't get approached cold, I just meet people at gigs and dances and get chatting to them. |

I couldn't get used to how people did this in America. Just walking round a book shop/supermarket/park/anywhere, guys will come up and say 'Hi, do you want to have dinner tonight?'
Here I've hardly been asked. |

I was recently chatted up and handed his phone number whilst selecting fruit at my local market. He was just passing and chanced his luck. Was flattered as it’s such a rare occurance these days. |

"i was asked out at work, but then he cancelled and now he texts most days. If this is how it works , i dont want to be asked out!
it's way too confusing"
They want a text friend. I'm not sociable enough with my real friends to have text conversations. |

You could explain that you're not looking for a phone relationship and you're deleting his number. |

"Not for about 25 years at least so not looking likely it will ever happen again!"
Life's short,
Make it happen and ask a woman you fancy out on a date rather than relying on a woman having to ask you.
If you don't buy a raffle ticket you'll never win a prize. |

My best date yet was a long weekend in a health spa in Budapest. Met a lady online from the USA.
We decided to make it a short break between friends with benefits. It was a great weekend and would definitely do it again |

"Once when I was walking down the street a bloke asked me out. He later confessed he'd done it as a bet with his mate. Pull a pig.
Seriously?"
Yes seriously. It was a long time ago before 'pull a pig' was a thing. I can't remember exactly what he said (and I don't want to remember) but basically his mate said I looked ugly so he bet him to ask me out. I think I was about 19. I was naïve and didn't know people could be cruel. |

I’ve NEVER been asked out on a vanilla date .. ever!
I’ve always been the one that’s done the asking and given my social awkwardness in my teens and twenties that translates to not a lot of (non-Fab!) ‘first dates’ in my life.
That’s partly why I’m on here I think, I’ve had more ‘first dates’ on here than in normal life. Crazy when I think about it!  |

At work - my bar job, most days.
Last week, at the park, soneone I see regularly while we walk our dogs.
A few messages via FBook.
I have no desire whatsoever to go on a date, with anyone in the 'real world'
I can't imagine anything worse than being in a 24/7 vanilla relationship! |

Never get asked on a date whether single or in a relationship.
However had a nice meal social with a guy off Fab that wasn't expected.
It is a dying art old school seduction. |

"To be honest all this metoo means I'd never ask anyone out at work, would also be a bit worried in a supermarket too. "
Years ago there was a book on tips to find love. One of them was for men to approach a woman in a supermarket. If she wasn't wearing a wedding ring, break the ice and ask about a cooking product etc. |

That's a shame. That's not what #metoo was about at all and you don't come across as sleazy in the slightest, so I imagine girls would welcome an invite. |

That’s very true. Perhaps I’ll make it my new year’s resolution |

Yeah but we all know who the ugly people were in that sorry tale!  |
