I see what ward is saying...girls are the ones that should sit back and wait. I'd feel a little creeped out if a girl came up to me and asked me out. Why...I'm not going to say that girls aren't supposed to, but it makes everything less of a challenge.
What I mean about not asking girls out anymore is I'm going to wait for a girl to show interest in me...enough for me to be able to detect. Because as far as this "groping in the dark, hoping that maybe if I ask her out she'll suddenly have an interest in me" is for the birds.
I'm tired of making a fool of myself because I ask someone out who is already engaged, or asking someone who would never even consider talking to me. From now on, I figure if the girl doen't come to me, she's not interested and she can go to hell.
