  Oh yeah?  Well, I, personally, would be really flattered if some woman asked
me out, for a change.

  Probably, the guys that have acted that way are just plain startled out of
their gourds, since it seems so rare that women really do ask men out on dates.
After all, asking someone on a date requires risk, and everyone wants to minimize
that risk.

  So, how about it?  How many of you women out there have asked guys out on
dates?  And how many have had their offers accepted?

just post anonymously and throw out any uninteresting responses? I support

Hi,

I am currently dating someone who has told me she has herpes. After she told me,
I tried to find out what I could about the disease, both from a standpoint of how
to avoid contracting it, long term effects, etc.

I tried both planned parenthood and this stodgy institution I work for as
sources. The only real information I could get was to use a condom (from planned
parenthood) and avoid premarital sex (guess where from).


Someone has to have studies what the risks are of having sex with a condom, what
possible long term health effects are, how can I know when the relationship
ends that I am not endangering a new partner with the disease (how will I know
if I contracted it?, my partner says she hasn't had an outbreak in four years)
and just plain how the disease works.anyone have better ideas for sources of 
information??

Not to be sexist, but I don't think that women have the courage or ability
to ask men out. Perhaps they are more often more comfortable than men at
sitting at at home alone (or at the bar) rather than risk the uncertain
acceptance or rejecion that awaits all attempted pickup lines. From day one,
men have had to accept that fact that if something needs to be done, they
themselves are going to have to do it - No one is going to do it for them.
Women, on the other hand, have the easy option (that some men would also
like to have) of waiting for someone else to take the initiative and get
the job done. Women must not think of themselves as equals. (Whew! That's
