Being a female of course does not mean you are born with the innate right to be asked out by every eligible bachelor.  But a lot of people, both sexes included, are not confident and are afraid of rejection.  Girls use the societal stigma that a 'guy should ask a girl out' as a crutch; a reason to justify their inability to approach someone new and open themselves up for rejection.  However, I think it is an opportunity for the girls, who do have the guts, to ask a guy out. When a girl has confidence, often it is assumed that she has something special about her that allows her to have such good self esteem.  Although personally I never felt like I was 'God's gift' or anything, I knew a guy would think I must have something special about me if I am confident enough to ask him out.  When I would ask a guy out, he was usually surprised by my confidence and intrigued enough to not decline a chance to get to know me.  So, although it is a great opportunity for ladies... you can use it to your own advantage.  If a girl sees that you are very confident (even if you're just pretending to be confident, which I did) they'll want to know more.  The worst that can happen, is they say no.  There are much more pros than cons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">qnj327</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 28 Mar 2009 01:15:58 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
