Curiosity Killed the Cat
Posted : 28 Sep, 2010 11:32 AM

Hi guys, I've been wondering about this for nearly 10 years, and finally am being brave enough to actually ask about it! They say that curiosity killed the cat, but I'm hoping that's not the case here!!!



My question: what are some things about a young woman (say, college aged) that might keep a guy from asking her out?

I'm asking because of my own experiences, and those of my sisters. Over the years, we've noticed that our friends are asked out, but we are not. One of my sisters and I both had our first-ever dates this year (we are 27 and 24). My sister is still dating that same guy, and I've not been asked out since my one and only relationship ended in mid-April. My 19 year old sister has never been on a date. I'm thinking that it may not necessarily be a BAD thing that we didn't date in college, since it's saved us a lot of heartache over the years. Still, I can only assume that there must be something about us that keeps the guys away, but I've yet to figure it out!

I know that you can't tell me why no one asked ME out, but just generally speaking, what are some things that would keep you from asking a girl out? Physical characteristics? Personality traits? Attitudes? Mannerisms? What? Be specific!



I'm just curious!!!

Nobody is telling anyone they cant do what they want its a matter of how many people can meet your standards and how many of those people want too. If your standards are high very few people will aproach you if they are not alot of people will.



nobody said its sinful to have standards what me and others are saying is the way a person portrays those standards or their motives behind them may be wrong, or atleast self deafeating.

I suppose the reason girls don't get asked and guys either don't ask them or get rejected is because they are afraid to expose themselves or be vulnerable. Some people are so afraid of this that they put so much effort into being invinceable that they don't come off as relatable or human.

Cobbler, SilverFire, and SOS,

Thanks for standing by me. I did not intend to start such a volatile topic, and I feel bad that it turned into such. Y'all made me smile a bit in spite of being disappointed at the turn of conversation. Cobbler, you really nailed it...I tried three times to type an answer that said exactly what yours did, but was so upset that I couldn't get my answer to make sense. I tried to send you a message to tell you thanks, but your age restrictions blocked me.

Thanks to those of you who have worked to get this thread back to my original topic. You all have good points!

You have a lot of the same standards that I do when it comes to dating. Ultimately one takes a chance with whomsoever they go out with and it is up to each person to be honest. The Lord constantly forgives his people and we as children of God made in his image should have the same spirit and not pass judgement based on past mistakes. I too prefer dating someone who does not drink or smoke, that turns into a compatability issue. As far as being asked out by a guy, in my experience some people feel like they only wat to date people who appear to think as they do or have common interests. I know of good marriages where the husband and wife are total opposites but the relationship is very strong. Being a born again God fearing Christian for me is a must. Be encouraged, the lord has someone for you.

Just don't make your standards invincible, because you never know what God may have planned:laugh:.

Hi , I think sometimes its an intimidation thing. You look to be an attractive young Lady and seem to have a nice personality, that being said in my case I feel really intimidated bye very attractive women like they know exactly whay they want and I'm not it. I also feel with attractive women that I am out of their league, so theres my thought s on the subject.
