I'll try it this one time but just to be clear don't be expecting sex just because you buy me dinner.

Yes, please.

In my experience: slightly taken aback, impressed, excited, flattered.

I am all for it!! Its a turn on.

I’m fine with that, not just in the spirit of equality, but sometimes a woman might see the potential for a spark or match before a man.

It makes them extra HOT!!! Woooo Hooo!!!

I approve. I'm not a very forward guy, so it's cool, but I do feel bad about turning her down, whatever the reason.Please don't think I turn them ALL down.

Do it! It takes all the pressure off the guy. We have to get used to being turned down it's no fun and you may have to get used to it too but it helps immensely if you make the first move.

I'm quite flattered when that happens

Thank you for posting this question. I always wondered. Guys: Would you feel comfortable saying no to a woman? Forced to say yes?

Well it sounds very nice, but last time it happened one of her big old male friends was waiting around the corner. He bopped me on the noggin, knocked me out and took all my money. I hope they enjoyed that four dollars and thirty two cents.

If a woman asked me out I would have to question both her taste and judgment, therefore I would have to turn her down as I couldn't date someone who makes such poor decisions.

Oh I hope that becomes the norm. It makes things easier. I rarely say anything because I'm worried of making someone I'm attracted to uncomfortable.

I'm always flattered and usually accept! Used to happen when I was a younger, now, uh not so much...

Why shouldn't women make the first, after all we are trying to live in a world of Equal rights for everyonearen't we?
Plus, considering that with all of this crazy Political Correctness running to extremes any bloke these days making the 'first move' stands a big chance of copping either a hefty smack in the mouth or a bloody big law suit at best.

I'm fine with it. It's 2018.

Historically, most of the relationships i've had, i wasn't the one who initiated things.

I'm perfectly okay with it. Sometimes I lack initiative.

I'm for it, being an introvert makes it really hard for me to put myself out there in the first place. My last few relationships, I pretty much needed an engraved invitation before asking someone out.

I would certainly be surprised but flattered to have this happen to me..... I would be suspicious that my current girl was carring out a test to see if I am faithful or not !

I have no stake in this conversation but I am wondering if a girl asks a guy out for dinner does she automatically pay for the meal? What is the procedure in this case? Whenever I ask anybody out, I expect to pay.

A woman who confidently knows what she wants? Yeah, it works out sometimes.

If he is insulted or has a negative machismo reaction I have to find humor in it because of his insecurity A friend is a good start and letting him know im interested at that level first should nit threaten any man a humorless boor is ibdicated

It probably depends on the guy -- Some may like it, others may not.

You probably won't get a definitive answer given how different we all are.

Admittedly this is no help. Personally, I kind of dig it because it removes any doubt that the gal is interested.

Works for me.

I think it's perfectly fine. especially if the female has interest, for me, it shows she's upfront, and not afraid her intentions, good move.
