i guess my opinion may not fall on the popular side... but im a fan of letting the man do the first move. I guess it depends on if you are tradition. Not to say that you can not show interest. I like to show interest, but leave the onus on them to decide. BUT... showing interest is great. Also... i also like inviting.. "a bunch of friends out" and letting them know. Not like asking for a date, but also a good way to see if you still like him. and the opposite. Have fun and stay safe
