okay... try this.... ive only ever been asked out 4 times in my life.... ive had to do the asking every other time.... i get hit on every day at work... i have coworkers who come giggling to tell me about one group of guys or another who were saying something about me and yet no one ever seems to have the guts to actually say hi atleast to me..... it kinda really frustrating because i meet a lot of really great guys, but it seems like i never even have a chance.... so for me so far it has been like "every guy"......

ok u are 19 years old and umm you have been asked out 4 times and sounds like u do most of the asking out..how many boyfriends have you had?
u are only 19!!!
Sounds to me like you are a rare commodity at your work place you work w/ alot of guys?
The best looking chick gets all the compliments...(been there done that..lol).
But there is a time when u have to distinguish between a compliment..(which guys will dish out by the pound, especially if they feel it will get them somewhere..ha ha) or someone that is sincerly looking for a relationship or date..not all guys giving compliments are seeking a date..just my train of thought.

very well said cinderella!!



actually ive only ever had one boyfriend... it never gets that far... one to three dates and then its done.... some one is always too busy or has other problems to deal with so that never leaves any time or energy for dating to turn into something more.....hence why im on here

Okay... so my question is... why is it that guys hit on me all the time and say that I'm beautiful, hot, sexy ect. and yet it never actually get as far as a date?..... or better yet.... Why is it that guys will talk amongst themselves about me ( I can hear them bcuz apparently no one knows how to whisper anymore) but no one eve has the guts to ask me out?

whats up with that? advice?... points of views?



They are intimidated. If they have talked to you, then maybe you talk too much. Somehow, I doubt that is it though.


I think they are intimidated by you. If you come off as "pure", then they have plans on having sex or playing around and you seem more like the type to marry. One would hate to abuse one who is Pure. At least I would. I had a friend like that who was perfect. But Church was also her life, and Church could never be my life, unless maybe I had kids. Anyways, I never tried to be with her because I am afraid I would hurt her (not by cheating or anything) but because of my imperfections.

I cuss, she doesn't. I like rated R movies, she likes rated G or PG. It just wouldn't work.

Opposites attract, my ass.

My opinion here. But reading between the lines, seems that you do send out some "vibe" that you want to more of a "friend" to guys than anything else. Some women just do this, and sometimes they don't know that they do. Anyways, when you send out that vibe then guys will admit how attractive, hot or whatever they say you are. Yet, they will avoid asking you out.

Yes, the male ego does not like rejection. Then again, neither does the female ego. Basically, humans hate rejection. Just that some of us can learn to deal with it better than others. But, back to the male thing here. If a guy sees a woman that he "feels" is just "out of his league" then he will become her friend...but that is it. He won't risk asking her out cause in his mind he feels that she will say no. And, to be honest here, history tells guys that women will usually use the same response...."You are a nice guy, but...". Happens alot, so instead of going through that, guys just decide that it isn't worth it. Seriously. Why would you do something if you felt, believed that it would not turn out the way you would want it to?

That's the thinking anyways. I'm sure there are guys who want to get with you for sex. There are guys who would want a relationship. Normally the guys that just want sex would be a little more aggressive, and they usually have the corny pick up lines. But the guys who want to seriously date you fear you. I believe you have that friends vibe about you. But, eventually, some guy will get past that.

I would just be grateful that the guys you're attracted to are obviously attracted to you, too. I usually am attracted to the ones that aren't attracted to me and vice versa. Nature's cruel joke. Count your blessings and ask a guy out.

The guys know there is something very special about you ... they admire you,but are not quite ready for a serious relationship yet(most 19 year olds wanna still play....which is normal fro a 19 year old).
And They recognize you to be a "Keeper"....someone to be respected, and not to be played with.

But In due time, that special man who is right for you...and IS ready for a special lady in his life... will come along ....all in due time.:wink: flowerforyou

Well from me looking at your age, most guys that are that age are not going to have the job or mony to meet you unless your talking about men in your town. being on the net for some, it's just a game and it happens to alot of us. It's just knowing how to weed out the weeds.

Maybe they assume you're taken because you're so pretty. Have you tried approaching them?



actually yeah... that seems to be what it comes to almost every time.... like this past year... hanging out a lot with a friend, with a large group mind you... he was always by my side.... but he would never ask me out or even talk to me outside of the group.... it drove me insane and i could never understand it... even his best friend told me that he liked me and he still didnt ask me out so i did it for him......... that seems to always be my story


Men can be insecure or shy, too! If you like him, say somethin' to him. Don't miss or waste a chance. You will regret it later.
Good luck!

alright.... i get that asking the guy out is the best thing to do if he doesnt.... but the thought that floats around in my mind is that if i am the one that asks him out, will i be the one who has to do everything? ie will i have to put forth all the effort to attempt to make something of what is?.... thats why my "relationships" (if you can call them that) never work.. because i exhaust myself trying to make everyone happy but i never get any effort/ attention returned
