Question: What do Guys think of girls who ask them out? Yeah that's my question to all guys, gals welcome too. Do you think they are cheap? Would you think they are less 'valuable' than the girls that you ask out? If it's a girl that you've been eyeing for some while who asks you out, would you wanna go with her or would you think she's cheap and stop liking her? \n\nI didn't really ask this guy out but I invited him for some party and he thinks that I'm asking him out! OMG! But the thing is I actually like him. I don't know what he will think. I moved over from an Asian country and my mentality is girls should never ask guys out! It is just so cheap. I don't know what American &#92; Western guys think... or girls think. I am embarassed and ...will he think i'm cheap when we go to the party ... \nOr even Asian guys and gals.. what do you think?

Answer: As a man, I would feel flattered if a woman asked me out - assuming, of course, that I already liked her in the first place and was just too nervous to ask her.  When guys ask someone out, we're taking a big jump.  We hope you'll say yes and that the jump will have been worth it.  However, when you say no, we feel embarassed for having jumped in the first place.  When the woman asks the man out, it saves us from having to jump at all.  However, now you are taking the risk.  I think we are all afraid of being rejected, of having someone not like us.  Asking someone out and hearing the person say yes is one of the biggests leaps in this area.  But, if you already like the person, hopefully that will give you enough courage to ask.
