Boundaries are variable person to person, I'd be flattered myself, but in terms of online if you see a girl reeeeally eager to hook up you're probably best looking away. IRL it shouldn't matter.

I've read through the comments and I'm still trying to find out why this question exists. If people didn't hit on each other or interact with one another relationships would never start. You're either going to get rejected because the girl's not interested or grab her attention because you did something right.

Regardless if you get rejected that doesn't mean it's "wrong." (Unless you went about it a creepy way...) IE: "SH0W ME T3H BOOBZ!" (And hey... find the right girl and that might even work =P).

There's nothing wrong with approaching someone you have an interest in and trying to make it something more then "She's hot and I like to stare at her... but I'm too socially awkward to go talk to her."

For the most part, women like when men show confidence (don't be cocky) and have a sense of humor. Unless you know she's nerdy I wouldn't put too much emphasis on nerd jokes that she might not get... then again if she doesn't have the same interests in you, is she worth it? Maybe.

Anyway. No, it's not wrong to hit on people. Just don't do it in poor taste or be a D-bag about it. Use common sense and go for it~ ^.^v

On a serious note, though, I don't think there's anything wrong with either sex flirting/making a move on the other, as long as implied boundaries are noted and respected, of course.


My first girl friend was the one who asked me out. This was back in high school, and I was super self-conscious, so when someone I was attracted to let me know they were attracted to me as well...well it was pretty sweet. Not to mention, it served as an eye-opener for realizing great things can come out of pursuing what it is you want, instead of hoping that it comes to you.

As in any net relationships, if your not into same sex relationships, how you going to check if your girl/guy isnt the guy/girl. Flirting is fun whether its either the girl or guy who starts it. The real problem is if you start it and your rejected but still try it again and again and again.

boundaries is a *** concept formulated by women to shield themselves from a very horny man population.

The line? Depends on who you ask.

A Republican bible hugging girl would draw the line around her in a 20ft radius. No entry until marriage.

A *** on the street's line (if such a thing existed) would be in the shape of an arrow pointing to the trick's wallet.

Maybe the line of a pedophile is drawn in purple crayon and it leads right to a playground... (ok, bad example that last one)

But pretty much my point.

Just go for it man! Sure, rejection sucks but its all about the one time the girl you really wanna be with says yes. (depending on what your looking for I suppose) I guess you gotta sit down and ask yourself, "Hey is this girl worth taking the risk of (insert concern here) eg. rejection, humiliation, social awkwardness, etc.?" I've passed up some opportunities before and all it leaves ya wondering is what would of happened some more than others lol. Sometimes you work up the courage, or wait for them to, and it turns out great and other times you walk away rejected but then you just do your best to get over it and try again. In my experience its best to get out there and try it out before life passes you by. You don't really want to be asking yourself what would have been al the time even if the relationship is a flop, fling or life long thing.

Yeah your story is pretty funny, I don't really understand why you ran and you probably hurt her feelings more than your own. Zombie!!!!! yeah.. anyways its probably good you experienced something like that, at least you know it can't get much worse than that lol.

Another piece of advice that I can give you, and this is something that crushed some of my relationships, don't give a ***what others think about who your going after (unless he/she's an axe murderer, you get my meaning) cuz honestly when it all comes down to it its about you and that person and how you feel about it all.

To answer your original question As for who should ask who out, it doesn't really matter. Guys ask girls / girls ask guys / girls ask girls / and guys ask guys. It's all about personal preference or the other persons fears and concerns about the situation too. I remember a friend of mine liked this girl for three years and did nothing about it until I went up to her one day (he made me promise not to do this but it had been 3 years) and brought it up to her that he liked her. She had liked him for almost the same amount of time lol and they're engaged now. So yeah take the opportunities when you can you never know what youre going to miss out on, my buddy could of had three extra years with "the love of his life" as he calls her almost too often (to me at least) lol.

Where is the line drawn, do girls like guys to make the first move or them?

Seems to me like this is more for in game sorts of things than not. In reality, go for it. In game - or just on the net in general - it can be complicated.

Some people, like me, act "like themselves" in game. There's no difference in personality or morality or whatever. Other people take the anonymity as a chance to be different - they could be obnoxious, offensive and just ***, sure, but sometimes a careful and very reserved person can experience some freedom, too. Other people - in game specifically - will become manipulative or crazy. Like the manthras flirting ceaselessly to get help/gil/whatever. (That was a big deal first time I played, haven't seen it so much lately.)

I think that if you are "you," and you're reasonably sure the other person really is themself, too, there's no reason not to.

On the other hand.... online, people are surrounded by idiots. They're literally everywhere. So any kind of sincere attention can be received in all sorts of crazy ways, if they think you're one of the anonymous people acting differently than in RL.

I would say that there's a higher chance online of not being taken seriously, or even being treated fairly.

I am really not sure, though. HOWEVER, if anyone has the full answer to this, I would love to hear it. ***'s complicated, yo.

something alot of people havent added in here is about

Timing

Theres a time to hit on a girl and then theres times where you probably shouldnt D:

Back when i first started showing interest in my current gf (like 2 years ago) she didn't even consider me a datable guy lmao but I knew i wanted her so i waited for the perfect opportunity after trying to get her to date me for quite a while. Finally she caved in and invited me over for a bonfire, well due to some strange circumstances i got dropped off like 5 miles away from her house and i decided to walk it. I was in track at the time so it was really nothing more than a standard day of practice, easier in fact since im not being yelled at to run lmao but i ran all the way there! I ended up getting caught on a fence and ripping my clothes but when she saw that I went so far to see her that day, it left an impression and BOOM we started dating

and i wouldnt have gotten that chance of her caving in if i continuously hit on her and was a creep about it! So what if you get rejected, rejection could only be temporary if anything. If you go about it in the right way you can continue to show interest without making them uncomfortable

Different cultures,, different generations, different religions, have different attitudes, so it all depends. Don't think it matters in game, people with either flirt back or tell you to "F" off, or "get down to business" .

I would be very careful aout trusting someone though. Just because the you are talking to a mithra or female avitar does not meant the person behind it is the same gender.( what is the %% or manthra?? 80% something like that?) I hear of alot of guys pretending to be girls for any number of reasons. (odd that you don't hear of girls with male avatars too often).

Truer words have never graced the bandwidth of any website! Words to live by. If you act like you dont want them, they usually are attracted. Thats been my experience. But not ignoring them to the point where you seem like a ***. Thats a NO NO!

I'd bet one reason it seems so uncommon to hear about is that they choose male characters to avoid the attention many females get in games. If we knew about it, it would defeat the purpose.
