It gets hard to figure out how to ask a guy out as you get older. Women who are in their 30s or 40s find it harder to find men who are not available. While 62% of Gen Xers are married, the rest of them are gay.

You might be a traditional girl and want the guy to ask you out first. And you could be finding ways to convince him to do that.

If you ask me I would guess that it has less to do with you being a traditional girl and more about being afraid to approach the man you are attracted to and ask him out. You may think he might reject you or even laugh at you. The fear of embarrassment might make you back off. But have you ever thought that even guy may be scared to approach you?

With the rise of female empowerment in the past few decades, I don’t see any reason why you can’t take charge and ask the guy out.

The guy you are interested in may also be interested in you, but with all the recent #MeToo controversies, he might be scared to approach you to avoid his intentions to be misunderstood. A research conducted by MTV found out that 1 in every 3 men worry that their actions can be misunderstood as s*xual harassment. So, that guy will not take the risk of approaching you if he thinks that you might think his advances in a wrong way.

The only option left is to ask the guy out yourself. You are a strong and independent woman and you should not be afraid of approaching him.

Let me help you by giving you a few scenarios that you can use to learn how to ask a guy out. It doesn’t matter which one you use as you as you are confident about yourself. Men love confident woman and is a sure way to make him fall for you.

There are many cheesy ways to ask a guy out. And even if the guy can clearly see through them, they actually work most of the times. And that also includes the good old ‘I have an extra ticket for this amazing concert. Wanna join?‘ move.

But the important thing that you need to consider is the type of ticket that you want to offer him. Will he join you for an opera concert? Only if he really likes you…like really really likes you.

But to be honest he is more likely to accept your invitation to a sports event or a band that he likes. So before you approach him with a ticket, decide on the event first.

Now you may also encounter a situation where he won’t go out with you and you will be left with two tickets. So always make sure that the event is something that you would also like to go and have a friend as a backup who might go with you in case your plan has failed.

Trust Your Instincts

It doesn’t matter whether you meet a guy at a party or in your friends circle or in a dating app, the most important thing that you need to remember is to always trust you gut.

Whenever you meet a guy what does your instincts tell about him? It doesn’t matter how hot or attractive he is, if he a person with a load full of ego and doesn’t treat others well, then he is not the right person for you.  But beyond all the assessment of whether the guy is good or bad, you need to trust your instincts on whether he is really into you or not.

I know you will feel excited whenever you start talking to a person you are interested in, and a lot of questions start running in your mind.

What if he asks me to marry him?

Is he a good kisser?

How will my babies look if I marry him?

Let me put the brakes to your imagination. Before you even start naming your future babies, pull yourself down to reality and start paying attention to his behavior. Does he seem interested to listen whenever you talk? Is he finding excuses to touch you? Does he laugh even at you bad jokes?

Or

Is he looking somewhere else when you are talking to him? Does he have his arms crossed? Is he repeatedly checking his phone?

Such simple behavior can tell a lot about what the other person wants. It is important that you have an understanding of the body language if you want to know what the guy really feels about you. If you are attracted to a person, you may want him to have feelings for you, but you can’t really force it on him. If the guy is not into you and just want to be friends, you can save yourself from embarrassment and not ask him out.

Also, some guys like to be in charge and want to be the first one to ask you out. And if you do it first, they may not take it very well. This is one other reason why you have to pay attention to his body language. Does this guy look like the person who wants to be in charge? Should I wait for him to ask me out? Think and approach.

Sometimes your instincts are smarter than your heart. So always have trust on your instincts. It will tell you what you need to know.
