Women Share Unexpected Responses They Get After Asking Out Their Crush On Date, And It’s Too Entertaining
Remember how last year women were sharing the responses they got after asking out their crush on a date? Well, it's that time of year again and the same British relationship blogger named Oloni has once again asked her followers to pursue the people they have so desperately fallen for.
"I came up with the idea [for the challenge] by thinking of ways I could push women to be more confident within themselves," Oloni told Bored Panda. "The challenge was an exercise for women to practice making the first move." The rules are simple - women summon the courage to ask their crushes out for Valentine's and share the reponses they get. Dami picked this special day because it's an honest celebration of love, "It shouldn't be exclusive to those who are in relationships alone."
Even though the pariticipants of Oloni's challenge can receive only one of two possible answers, the staggering amount of different shapes and forms they come in is insane. Not all of them, however, are what you'd expect. Nonetheless, Dami thinks you just have to be straightforward and reveal your feelings. "It's better to get it off your chest, instead of thinkinging 'what if?'" Scroll down to check out what happens when you face your fear and go after you crush, and upvote your favorite entries!

THAT guy's a keeper. Men who love their Moms make really good spouses (generally). Because, they're already used to a woman telling them what to do!

He sounds like a keeper. And I bet his mom will be thrilled he has a date.

Well that escalated quickly! She asks that person on a date and they want to spend the rest of their lives together! :-)

Slightly over-zealous on the "rest of my life" part. Depends on if they'd been friends for 10 years already, though.

So happy for you all. My boyfriend died last W-day and will be buried tomorrow. Just last week was thinking of what we will do. I miss him so much. :-(

I'm so sorry about your boyfriend. Surround yourself with a strong support network. You can do this, I promise.

Quick, grab a dictionary and a thesurus before going on your date! Your intentions sound beautiful but you might want to find better words. ;) Taking a s**t together on a first date isn't the most attractive idea to most of us.

I like all of these but reading them can be a huge pain. I just don't understand why people don't type out full words. I have never texted or messaged anyone like some of these people do. I'm not a grammar nazi but damn.
RaroaRaroa 7 years ago
It's even worse when people write like this in online (facebook, etc) comments. Texting like that was a thing once, when you had to tap numbers repeatedly to get the letter you wanted so it took forever to type in full, but it' never been necessary anywhere else.

Then don't let it ruin your friendship if you ask and he declines. If you're cool with it and he's cool with it, then cool. If he's a douche about it, that's not a good friend anyway.

Hilliary Smith 7 years ago
There's nothing to say there was leading on. And maybe they didn't mention a bf or gf because they don't have one. Are they supposed to read minds that this person is developing feelings and then lie about a bf/gf, as opposed to just saying what they feel once the subject comes up?

Whether you're female or male, asking someone you like out on a date takes serious courage. If someone brave enough asks you out and you don't want to date them (for whatever reason), be polite about it. Don't try to be cool and shut them down brutally. Rejection hurts enough as it is. It's the very fear of rejection that makes asking people out a brave act.

I honestly feel bad for a lot of the guys in this. When they reject the girls, people freak out and assume it’s always a jerk move on their part. Maybe I read too much of r/nicegirls, but honestly, maybe they have legitimate reasons. Obviously , they could also just be rude in the ways they say no, but there might be more to the stories than we know...

It goes to show, many times the men we would like in our lives are pretty shy. Sometimes that little bit of courage we muster up leads into the beginning of beautiful relationships. Showing the strength to take that first step also leads by example. It might give that shy guy the "UMPH" you had and show them they can continue to do the same! Great article and good for the women who did ask their crushes out! :)
