IS IT WRONG TO ASK A BOY FOR A DATE AS A GIRL??..

As a girl growing in the 21st century where women hold higher positions in jobs,are independent and do not need a man to hold a door for you or be there to protect you everytime or need a man to define them,i feel like women shouldn't be shunned or given names like skanks or bitches and all the like when they like a boy or a man and would like to ask them out on a date.I feel women should be given the same privilege of asking men out just as men have that privilege but this still prove to be an issue in Botswana and many other countries.Some men and women feel its unwomenly to ask a man out for a date, their reasons being a man should be the one who is supposed to ask a woman out if he likes her.BUT what is the women supposed to do if they got a crush or like a man and would like to go on a date with them??..should they just hold it in and hope that someday the boy will notice you and finally ask you out.What if that day never comes??what if he doesn't like you the same way you like him..how will you know if you don't ask him out and see if he likes you the same way you do him??I asked a couple of my guy friends about how they feel about a girl asking a boy out for a date and their responses were quite different.Some said they like a girl who have the confidence to ask a boy out for a date while others viewed such girls too forward and distasteful but they gave me a few tips on how to let the guy know that you are into him without coming up to them and saying 'i like you.' and this is what they had to say:

• smile a lot everytime you see him and always say hi and always make eye contact
• always give him some compliments if he look good or have done something good
• ask him for a lift if he has a car,if you work in the same building or go to the same school
• wear something classy or pretty to get his attention but careful!..not too revealing,it might send the wrong message

But what if he doesn't get all these hints??..what do you do then?My advice is,girls..if you like him,just risk it!tell him how you feel,you will never know the outcome.besides,boys do it all the time,they just risk it and tell the girl how how they feel and you never see people judging them and calling them names.just go for it,you never know,besides,somes guys have low self esteem and low confidence.maybe he liked you too,he just ddnt have the nerve to tell you!...But thats just ME.

Feel free to give your opinion.Stay tuned....
