Girls Asking Guys

[ZephyrHawk]

Okay, I've been reading some of the threads on Homecoming and school dances and the like, and it occurred to me that never once, in my entire high school career, did a boy ever ask me to a dance. I was always the one asking them. That's 4 Homecomings, 2 Sadie Hawkins (which I admit don't count), 1 senior auction (also doesn't count), and 1 prom and every time had me asking the guy. The closest I ever came to getting a real request was when I said to my then boyfriend, "Hey, are you gonna ask me to Homecoming or what?" Apparently, he had thought I wasn't into the 'dance' scene. Hello! It's Homecoming! Everybody does Homecoming.

It's was enough to give a girl a complex. I wasn't hideous or anything. Fast forward several years and I was the one taking the initiative in my relationship with DH as well.

So I was wondering, any other females out there always play the man in their relationships?

I almost always did the asking as well. I'm a "take charge" kind of person anyway, so it was too frustrating for me waiting around hoping to be asked.

I only went to one dance in high school the entire 4 years and again like you it was because I asked the boy. For prom I was asked by two different boys but said no because they were considerably shorter than me.

Again, like you if it wasn't for me bringing up marriage to my DH chances are it would of taken a lot longer or who knows when before he would of asked. Never really stopped to think about this until this thread. I guess because I always considered myself to be a strong, independent, and outspoken woman.
