Now first of all, I realize this probably varies widely, but one of the reasons I'm so hesitant with asking someone on a date (besides the fact that nobody ever bothers to show interest in me in the first place) is because I don't know how common it is. Is the average woman flirted with or asked out multiple times a week? Once a month? A couple times a year? I have no idea, so I can't begin to predict what a woman would think of me trying to flirt with her (however you're supposed to do that) or asking to date her. Is this just something most women deal with on a day-to-day basis, or is being flirted with or asked out something most women consider surprising?

its easier to encounter someone who wants a romantic servant
but they don't want to ask out, they roll out a wishlist of meals,

You have to show that you like them if you want them to ask you out.

Otherwise...they won't.

It's very common for women to be asked out by men.

Yes, I know that. But how common is "very" common?

According to women I've talked to, young women tend to get flirted with, asked out, even sexually harassed, on a regular basis. There's obviously variation based on how attractive the girl is, but even ugly girls probably get asked out every now and then. How well-received your flirtations are will depend a lot on the girl's past experiences and whether she's fed up with guys not leaving her alone. You'll probably get better results with average-looking women than with gorgeous women. Also, your advances are more likely to be well-received if you're a hot guy like me, than if you're an average- or below average-looking guy. I've gotten mixed responses from women I've flirted with, but usually the only time I get a bad reaction is when I do it in a completely inappropriate way (e.g. talking to a girl during a manic episode, or talking to a nurse while I'm a patient at a hospital), and even then, women often act flattered to find me flirting with them. So it depends a lot on how good-looking/charming you are.

Lol, no doubt...and that's a lifetime, not just a year, so I see no reason to complain on this front.

If I wasn't married, I would ask you to go bowling with me, Hurtloam.

Personally for me not often :) It might be because I'm shy though but I wouldn't mind being flirted with more it's really flattering.

If they are fun flirting and not creepy or intense then it's perfectly fine so don't wprry about flirting with girls. Worst thing that will happen is they will be taken or it just doesn't work out

Its worth taking a chance :) :)
