[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] the bar should be pretty high for refusal if someone works up the nerve to ask you out.  In fact, women complain all of the time about not being taken out for dates, rather than "hang-outs" or "hook-ups", but it appears that they only want to say yes to someone they already know they like.  No wonder kids have a warped sense of dating.[/quote]

I find this type of thinking very disturbing. A girl/woman doesn't owe anyone anything, including an evening of her life, just because they "worked up the nerve" to ask the girl/woman out. Girls/women are just as entitled to decide who they spend their time with as boys/men are. This kind of quid pro quo thinking has all sorts of unpleasant implications.

And to cap it off with "women complain all the time about not being taken out for dates," does not reflect a positive image of women.

I agree with you that dates should be low pressure and not imply sexual engagement, but as for the rest, please join us in the 21st century and recognize that women should be able to decide for themselves who they will and won't date.[/quote]
