Guys what keeps you from asking a woman out that you find attractive and like?

Fear of rejection. We fear the aquardness of if you say no and what will the relationship be like if you say no. If you like him you should try giving him suttle hints.

Good question!  I don't like too cool.  I've learned to avoid disinterested women.  I'm not wasting time on someone who is like they don't really care one way or the other.  Too obsessive can be scary because I'm independent and don't want someone who has to have my attention 24/7.  Frequently calling can be a problem (more than twice a day  just to see what's up is creepy), but call to show interest or for making arrangements.  Calls over 30 minutes that are just to get to know me would drive me off. Get to the point, get some info, make plans and leave the endless conversations for the date.

Speaking personally, I like a girl who isn't afraid to tell me she's interested. We guys can be really dumb sometimes so you need to tell us! If a girl's playing hard to get, then a lot of times the guy will just assume she's not interested. If you aren't comfortable using the direct approach, drop some subtle (or not so subtle) hints...tell him he looks good,etc. He should pick up on it. Hope this info helps.

Asking someone out is basically asking for their approval. Show her that you are secure enough with yourself that while her approval would be welcome, you'll be perfectly fine without it.  In other words, don't press the issue.  Remember, self confidence is very attractive. \n\nThink of it this way, if she doesn't give you an aswer that is your answer.

I respect girls who try new things and go outside their comfort zone.\n\nAny girl who goes after what she wants will be attractive, because she is likely to be happier, more confident, and more driven, in my mind at least.\n\nDo it and don't worry about what guys like.

first of all you don't want to be too pushy because that can be a big turn off for some women. maybe you  can ask her out next weekend like to a movie or even just to get a few drinks, the later would be better as this would give you a great opportunity to get to know her and her interests and in turn she'll ask you about yourself, however if she doesn't want to go out you could suggest just calling her at home to talk a bit or going to HER house for a while but remember you don't want to seem desperate as this will get her packing, good luck

I'm a guy, I have a girlfriend, most guys (in general, at least those like me) have a tendency to REALLY like a girl if he's looking at her a lot.. I mean, I may find a girl attractive and my eyes may look in that direction as a reaction, but if its something more than that, a guy might try to hide the fact that he likes looking in her direction out of respect for the fact that she might not want to be stared at... so it can be hard to tell if the guy wants you as more than a friend without asking quite clearly and in private.. not in front of too many other people, something like "what do you think of me, do you want to go out with me?" etc.. some guys are too shy to ask the girl they want to be with out without knowing that they'd approve of them in the first place, a lot of guys end up staying single because of this, and I have only asked one girl out and I've had about 6 relationships ... each one a major impact on my life, I hope this helps.

ASK! (that is how I got my man) We flirted everyday and then I just asked if he wanted to go have a drink some time and he took me to lunch the next day.  We laugh about it now (3yrs later) about how I was more of a man than him by asking him out. Go for it girl, worse come to worse he will say no.  You can not live your life hiding go for it. A man likes a women who is not afraid to take risks.

Good-looking women get asked out by a lot of guys, those who are superficial and those who are nice.  So I guess a smaller percentage of the total guys who ask you out are the nice ones, so you have to work harder to sort them out of the crowd.

I find women who play hard to get a turn off. Don't get me wrong they cannot be easy, but when I have to go really far out of my way for someone I barely know then I just am not going to waste my time.

Believe it or not some guys are not out just for looks. Now I am not going to lie there has to be a physical attraction. However I have dated some drop dead sexy women who have tried to use me as a rug, and I would not allow it so I got rid of them. I have also dated some normal everyday looking women who although were not model material did treat me  the way I prefer.

Have you tried asking them out? A confident strong woman sometimes intimidates certain guys but you shouldn't change how you are unless you are disrespectful or verbally abusive. It just takes time and patience. Be open to signs from other people and don't be afraid to make the first move- you may be surprised.

A lot of the time, if you are not being approached it is because you are giving off the impression that you are not approachable.  Most times without even knowing it! If you get nervouse maybe you don't smile enough or make eye contact.  What type of women are you trying to attract, or have you put much thought into it?  Consider the people that you might want in your life, what qualities they need to have to make you happy. Then get involved in an activity that you are really interested in, get to know the people involved, then persue someone you find interesting that may posses those qualities you enjoy.  You already know you have something in common, maybe that would put you more at ease knowing that right off the bat. It's about something you are doing. You didn't really elaborate much or give people much to go on, but I hope this helps you some.

alot of woman are afraid of rejection, just like some men, they dont approach a man their interested because of that, the sad thing is, you never know what the other one is thinking, they may have the same feelings for you, and if you dont get to know them, you could be missing out on a good thing. As for as the guys asking where all the good woman are? A woman who respects herself isnt just gonna go up and hang all over a man she's interested in, she'll sit back and wait to be approched or introduced to you.

When you go out on dates, she insists on paying for stuff on an equal basis. ( ie : you pay this time, she pays next time). However if she pays for her own stuff every time, that means she probably isn't interested in you sexually, doesn't want to lead you on, and doesn't want to feel indebted to you in any way.\n\nShe shows a strong interest in your life, asking a lot of questions about your hobbies, family, job, etc.\n\nShe changes something about her appearance just because she knows it will make you happy ( for instance, she gets a new haircut, starts wearing shorter skirts).\n\nShe offers you a sip of her drink, or takes a sip out of yours (Essentially she's telling you she's willing to swap saliva with you !).\n                           and if u wanna ask her\nThere are several cheesy techniques you can use to lower your chances of rejection (such as making a bet with a girl and the loser has to make them dinner) but these kinds of games are unnecessary. If you are straightforward, and don't beat around the bush about what you want, a girl will respect and admire your confidence.\n\nOptimally, you would ask her in a face-to-face setting. However, if that is not possible, either because the opportunity won't present itself or because you aren't confident enough, your best alternative would be over the phone.\n\nAvoid, at all costs, asking through email or any other written medium (Instant Messenger, a note, etc.). Not only do these methods scream "CHICKEN!" they also leave behind a paper trail that may or may not come back to haunt you.\n\nOne way to avoid looking like an idiot is to have something in mind to say for these three possible reactions to your question so you won't be caught off guard :\n\nIf she says "yes"\n\nHave a plan in mind; know your schedule and have an idea to suggest.\n\nIf she says "no"\n\nDon't act shocked or offended. Just be like, "Alright." Then carry on the conversation as if you never asked. Be friendly and polite. Too often guys take a "no" personally and get ticked off. Girls don't admire or respect a negative reaction. The fact that you were able to brush off her rejection so easily may actually raise her interest.\n\nIf she says "some other time"\n\nHave a plan B in case she is busy. If she still acts like she has too much to do it's probably because she's not interested and doesn't want to hurt your feelings. Accept it as a rejection and move on.\n\nOf course, you go into it expecting her to say "yes" but it's, as with most things in life, it's important to be prepared for the worst. \n\nTips on how to ask a girl out\nThe real key to getting women to say "yes" when you ask for the date IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO YOU.\n\nIf a woman is attracted to you then why wouldn't she want to go out on a date with you ? It makes sense but most guys don't think of it that way... they miss the point and focus on "how to ask" rather than focusing on raising her attraction.

Guys are flattered when a woman makes the first move, just be direct and walk up introduce yourself and start talking to him. Then if you like ask him out. The worst he can do is turn you down, the best you have a wonderful time. It will be worth it.

WARNING. THIS THREAD IS FULL OF AWFUL ADVICE.\n\nMan to man, let me give you a very important piece of advice. Do NOT ask women about how to deal with women. Women do not want what they say they want. They may think they hate anticipation, but they secretly thrive on it. Anticipation and unpredictability are good. (Although, I think the line about "I wanna ask you out, but right now am not in the mood" is awful - please don't use that.)\n\nThey're probably going to give me thumbs down for this, but I'm telling you from experience, it's the truth. Again, the two points to take from this:\n\n1. Anticipation and unpredictability are good\n2. Don't trust what women SAY, trust how they RESPOND\n\nSorry ladies, I love you, but the guys who actually follow your advice end up being the guys who are too wussy to get a girl.\n\n[See, there go the thumbs down already! Don't believe em, bro! I'm looking out for you.]
