I guess I am a little bit of a traditionalist. I don't necesssarily want to go back to the 50's dating lifestyle, but I am from the south. And this southern gal, thinks it is okay for some things to follow a traditional path. Specifically, I like traditional rules for a man asking a woman out.
In the world of online dating, social networks, texting, sexting, and the like, some of the basics for "How to begin a relationship" have been lost. Men, if you are interested in a woman, you need to ask her out. She may say no. And if so, just move on. Some people mesh well, and some people don't. If you are asking solely because you think that a woman is cute, maybe you should reconsider. You should know something about her as a person. She should know something about you as a person. At the end of the day, just ask. Do not expect her to ask you. Do not text her "hey", in hopes that the conversation will turn into the two of you "hanging out". "Hanging out" is not an acceptable first date. Plan something. Go to an event or go out to eat. Stop being lazy with love. Just act!
