It depends entirely on factors, typically when dealing with women and ask them out blindly, I'm a gibbering cowering wreck.

Unless; Sometimes, the planets align perfectly, the cosmos focuses it's energy and there is just the right amount of booze in my system, so I'm quite with a buzz but have enough dutch courage to override my fear. Then I am the smoothest pimp operator on the planet.

I'm confident initiating things. Girls expect guys to be mind readers and it's just not fair on the guy and puts them under a lot of pressure.

If you're interested you have to make it clear, I get that its scary or intimidating to literally go up to a guy and ask them out or flirt.

I think everyone gets their own way of showing someone they're interested.

Mine is 'The Move'. It works. That's my little bit of genius right there.

Combine 'The Look' with 'The Move' and everyone's happy tonight. ;)

I am terrible at this, not because I don't have the confidence to do it I just say the worst thing possible in the situation.

Lets see,making the first move has never been my thing,i figure that if i like him and he likes me back he will say something.I only made the first move twice.It scared the hell out of me,i didnt get rejected but i dont like making desicions<i spelled that wrong,didnt i?
In my world,they do the asking,i do the accepting or rejecting.When they ask i know i have the power to make thier day or break thier spirit,I love being in charge but im not controlling,if that makes any sense.

Uh well I have no trouble taking control...if I notice a guy/girl is giving me a signal or I'm attracted I'll introduce myself formally.
Usually start with simple things "Are you seeing anyone" etc I'll talk for a bit which is a mixture of being very sultry and daring them to do something. I do a lot of complimenting nothing too over the top like out of nowhere I'll say something like "I love your eyes" and just throw them off guard a bit then smile and say "oops sorry off topic but I couldn't help it" and then go back to talking about what we where talking about before and eventually I just say "You seem nice wanna go out sometime?"

Quite confident in asking someone I like out. If they so no, so be it. Plenty of fish in this sea of ours.
Either gender could pop the question, It shouldn't matter as long as the point is getting out there.
I would propose, but it would take me a lifetime to think of a romantic/creative way to propose.

No offence, but I don't see how that would work on any sane person.

^ From the things she has said, I get the impression that she doesn't date anyone sane anyway.

If I like someone I tell them. The worst they can do is reject me and it's just my opinion but if you're too scared of rejection then you shouldn't really be trying to date... I don't know anyone who has never been rejected.

As for proposing, I honestly do not know, I'd prefer the guy to do so. But at the same time; would I have the courage to propose? Probably.

/Straightforward person - unfortunately it means I've had my fair share of rejections and heartbreak. ¬.¬

I don't think I'd ever want a girl propose to me! That's just not right in my opinion. Yet, I've been with girls who made the first move and I am quite alright with that.
