Is it still acceptable in this day and age to ask a WOMAN in public out for a coffee/drink/lunch?

Curious if any of the boys in here have been asked out randomly and what the situation was. 

it happened at my work a few times....... of course I worked at a record store so that made me automatically COOL.

You are already cool, Logan  


Edit: though I have to add, you said it “happened” but you didn’t say it happened to you  

What up, Often!!!

it happened to me and a co-worker... but we also both played in bands..... I guess they were groupies.

Not me.  I'd probably be more likely to be preemptively turned down out of the blue.

TA have you thought about getting an life coach, attending a Tony Robbins seminar or similar...s/

Or even Toastmasters. I think others have suggested that before... and not sarcastically.

WTF is Toastmasters?

It's this kind of program or whatever you call it that is offered all over the world, and it helps people come out of their shells, improve at public speaking and stuff like that. It supposedly REALLY helps people who are self-conscious, shy, have trouble speaking with groups or with strangers, boost self-confidence, and it also helps people improve with job interviews. I've only heard good things about it.

I put sarcasm in there because I mentioned Tony Robbins, and do not know if he really is as good as he claims or just a fraud.  I will admit, I have never heard a bad thing about him.  And I in no way saying these seminars do not help.  We all need help at some time.

Fair enough. With Tony Robbins, my vote is for total scumbag fraud, lol. And he's creepy AF too.

Lol!! No, no! Nothing like that! It's a very normal program for normal people, haha, nothing cult-like about it. I'm sensitive to that kind of vibe too, and would never recommend anything that comes close. It's rated very highly as a self-improvement and professional kind of program, and not brainwashy or anything at all. I remember my high school always recommended it to everyone because it helps prepare younger people for communicating in a professional and confident manner in "the real world", for when they started looking for jobs and careers (but it is totally for all-ages). And it's still going 25 years later, so it obviously has something to offer. In fact, my sister took it. I don't think she needed a lot of help communicating with other people, but it actually looks really good on any resume and she figured it would help her find a job. It probably did help.
