I am just interested in how many ladies have taken the first step to ask a guy out? or even the first step to message guys on a dating site?

Would you ask a guy out in a real life situation face to face or is that a no no for you?

Do you prefer to be asked/contacted?

I can easily take the initiative with messaging and arranging contact on the web, but I'm not likely to do it face to face BUT I would initiate some flirting to encourage a guy to feel confident to ask me out.

I wish I could be more up front, because men always assume I'm not single, yet I've been single for years!

It's so much easier on the net to ask/send first contact but in the real world is a completely different ball game Confused

about 90% of women I ever asked out face to face or on the phone have said yes so I have become quietly confident about it (confident in my approach, not in their answer I mean). Having said that, I usually wait until I feel more than 50% sure that she likes me before asking. I suppose I have lost out on some women by waiting too long to feel that way before I asked them out, but at the same time, it means I have dated some very nice women because of waiting and feeling sure.
I think it all depends on how much a risk taker a person is and how they are able to cope with a rejection/know back. Some people just go for it on a first upon first meeting.

Damn, my success rate is about 30%. I think I'd better start finding some easy women to ask out, to improve my stats
