Here is a timeless question for the single girl/guy: Is it ok for a woman to ask a man out on the first date?

Dear TBM,

Is it okay for a woman to ask a man out on a first date?

Hi Kelly,

We are in 2010 and times have changed drastically so it is absolutely fine to ask a man out on a date. It actually would be a breath of fresh air for some men and an ego boost. Some men get intimidated in asking a woman out and unfortunately both parties could be missing out on a good thing. The fear of rejection can lead to someone being apprehensive to ask someone out.

If there is someone you are thinking about asking out , go for it. The worst thing that can happen is that they say no. There are endless possibilities if he says yes.

Good Luck.
