12 Things Men Should Know Before Asking Women Out
“Compliments aren’t a substitute for a conversation. Just because you’re being nice doesn’t mean you’re pleasant to talk to.” — Mysterious-Policy-67
“Just because a woman talks to you and is nice doesn’t mean she is flirting.” — ISeeEverythingYouDo
“If she says she’s married, you don’t ask things like happily? Or is it serious? Realize you’re now looking for someone willing to cheat on their spouse, and they will cheat on you too.” — Bl8675309
“You don’t have to mention looks/sex to show interest. Some of us find it a turn off if you’re quick to do this before putting in effort to get to know us and form a bond. Ask her about herself, her interests, likes and dislikes.” — Gold_Lie6702
“We don’t know who the ‘good men’ are versus the dangerous so don’t be offended if we act aloof and distant.” — foot-candle
“Don’t act like she owes you something. She doesn’t owe you anything other than common decency and respect that you also owe her. If you’re nervous, tell her. If she’s nice, she’ll sympathize and it might break the ice. If she’s not friendly, don’t bother with her cause she doesn’t wanna be bothered. Ask her genuine questions, and follow up questions. For example: ‘Where did you grow up?’ And then when she replies, you can ask, ‘Did you like living there?’ Or something else that branches off what she said. If she says no, you can ask, ‘Why not?’ if she says yes, you can ask what made it special. It’s just a conversation, but make sure you’re listening to her. Don’t be afraid to show her you’re into her by flirting, but stop if she doesn’t reciprocate. Sometimes it’s just refreshing to not try and question a guy’s ulterior motive because a lot of the time they’re scared of being creepy and do the complete opposite so the girl doesn’t even know they’re interested. Honesty is key. If you like her, just say, ‘Hey. I like you, do you wanna go out sometime?’ If she says no, don’t push. You deserve someone who wants you.” — capricornuse
“Questions are better than self statements. Try to inquire, not inspire.” — tmurg375
“There is no formula for what women like, as we are all individual people. Just be you, be genuine.” — ArtsyFlatulance
“Treat everyone the same. Treat the girls you’re not attracted to the same way your treat the girls you are attracted to. Treat the short girls the same way you treat the tall girls. I could go on but I think you get the point. We notice that and we talk to each other about it. Also, clean under your nails. It’s literally one of the easiest ways you can show you take care of yourself. If your nails aren’t clean, you aren’t clean. Brushing your teeth also helps.” — applecakeradio
“If she is working and being friendly it’s because it is her job to be friendly, no she doesn’t want to give you her number because she smiled and said have a nice day while giving you your coffee. This is not an invitation to flirt or share your thoughts on how hot she is.” — ex_ter_min_ate_
“Don’t just compliment our appearances, we are way more than that. Attempt a conversation over silly pick up lines. Most importantly, treat us like a person not a name on your ‘to do’ list.” — sihayi
“You should brush your teeth at least two times a day.” — Priority-Fun
“If a woman seems uncomfortable when you approach, leave. Don’t try to convince her that you’re a ‘nice guy’ even if you are.” — Th3MysticArcher
