Should a Girl Ask a Guy Out?

Should a Girl ask a Guy out?

     When surveyed, almost every teen felt that there is nothing wrong with a girl asking a guy out. Then you ask the adults… The adults generally believe that it is absolutely wrong. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard a mother say, “Guys are supposed to be the ones to call!” “Guys are supposed to be the ones to ask the girl out!” “The girl is just not supposed to do that!” So what is the verdict? Is it wrong for a girl to take the lead and initiate the relationship?

     In the past, men have generally been the people in charge. The traditional role of women was to sit back and accept what the men wanted, and respect the wishes of the men. This is obviously not the case anymore. Our view of gender roles has changed dramatically, and women are given almost the same amount of opportunities as men.

     How does this apply to the topic? The very same women who are independent and are 100% against obeying their husbands desires are the same women saying that it is traditionally wrong for girls to ask guys out. How does this make any sense? Are they traditional? Or have they accepted the idea that society has drastically changed in the past century? If someone is going to support the idea that it is wrong for a girl to ask a guy out, then it only makes logical sense for them to also support the idea of the woman being respectfully obedient to her husband. To support traditional views only half the time simply makes no sense at all.

     So now let’s go back to the original question. Is it wrong for a girl to ask out a guy? NO! It is not morally wrong. I personally believe that any guy who isn’t a complete wimp is going to ask the girl out, but being a wimp isn’t exactly wrong is it? On the other side, it would take a very bold and straightforward kind of girl to ask out a guy. The type of girl that would be willing to ask out a guy would not be the type of girl for me, but that is simply a preference. In the end, it is not wrong at all for her to boldly venture forth and ask away.

     So girls, if what you desire is to ask out that special guy, then go for it! And if mom ever tells you that it is wrong, then you can call her out every time she refuses to abide by daddy’s wishes. OK that may be a bad idea. Either way, good luck and God bless.
