Heck no! If a man is bold enough to ask you to meet him, he needs to be just as forthright about who he is. Meeting a total stranger is already very risky business. My advice is that if you decide to meet, tell him it needs to be only after he agrees to certain groundrules. Rule #1 Meet in daytime Rule #2 Do not meet alone #3 Do not go to him (i.e. to a nother city or state) let him come to where you are. You need to be aware of your surroundings. #4 If his intent is genuine he wont have a problem with you having his last name. He will already recognize that having as much information as possible is a security and safety issue and out of consideration of that AS WELL AS respect, he will honor your requests as not to compromise your trust and to give  you peace of mind.

Yes, ask him out. You have more to gain than loose. If he says no it will not ruin your frendship unless you let it.

Not rude.  I'd be flattered if a guy asked.

I am so in your situation. For a while I thought it was because I was scared of rejection or that I felt all traditional, but I really have a lot at stake. I have a son. I like a guy and haven't really decided what is best. I usually get a vote of 50/50 on this topic. I think for me, it might be best to wait. I want to see if the guy is interested, comfortable and confident enough to have the balls to make the first move. Remember, woman sacrifice more in the long run, and should never settle for second best!

Yes, it's okay!  Somebody's gotta get the ball rolling and sometimes that somebody just happens to be a chick.  If you want to ask a guy out, go for it. :)  Best of luck!

Well, I think the best way is to just start up conversations with them.  Its the man's job to ask the woman out so if he's not asking you out he's not really a man, or has no interest in you.  You could always drop a hint and give him your number after having a good conversation.  As for dating co-workers...I work in an environment where TONS of people are happily married and met at work.  In fact, it's more like a family atmosphere where a lot of people have the same last names.  2 mature adults are able to have a relationship regardless of where they work if they are still able to treat eachother with respect after breaking up.

I personally don't ask guys out.  If I want to be asked out, I send off signals letting the guy know that I like him.  Body language tells it all.  As far as your dad goes, you have to live life for you (not unless you have kids).  Do what makes you happy!!! Your dad may have reservations, but thats only because they've seen, and went through things growing up, that we fortunately didn't have to.  Your dad will come around, especially if the guy you like is a good guy.  Plus your mom wouldn't mind.....you know women have a way of swaying men minds (smile)  Good Luck!

I highly suggest you let HIM ask YOU out.  If he is not married, or not involved with someone else, then he will feel no hesitation in asking you out if he is attracted to you, and if he realizes that you are attracted to him.  Just be sure, with eye contact, and body gestures, that you let him know you are very fond of him, and want more than friendship.  You must give him the "signals".  If he does not react, then I would not push it.  Getting close to him, inside his "personal space", while talking with him, and looking into his eyes, is one tactic I find works well on me.  Just use your feminine instincts, show you are attracted to him, and let it happen naturally...

It depends, I don't mind when a woman makes the first move. I also don't mind if she let's me do the first move.  I guess its all a part of if you want something then go out and get it and not always do we get what we want.  I am for it.  It is OK if she speaks up first and if she makes the first move.  It can's hurt.

That's a hard situation cuz if you ask him out and he says no it'll be different. Have a friend ask him what it would be like if you guys were going out. He probably has already heard something like that just cuz. If he says it'll be great or something like that, go ahead and ask him. If he says "It wouldn't" like a man-biatch don't so you can keep ur friendship.  Good luck. :)

Women take a bigger social risk when asking men out, because women who do so can be percieved as too easy, or overly aggressive. Also, many men find the necessity to pursue a big element in attraction, so women who don't require pursuit can be less interesting to them.\n\nIf you want women to ask you out, you need to act in ways that encourage it. Be sure to notice and reward any signs of women flirting with you, and don't be the guy who makes women feel bad for making advances. And remember that what you do to one woman in your circle of friends will tend to be known to all women in that circle, so protect your reputation!
