Is It Better To Ask A Girl To Be Your Girlfriend OR Just Play Along? by Contumely: 11:44am On Nov 05, 2019
Just argued this with some people now.

Is it better to ask a girl outright to be your girlfriend
Or just play along as a boyfriend via body language, actions etc.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of one over the other?

How do you get to just “play along”? What if she tells you later on that she just thought you were a friend and nothing more? Oga ask and it shall be given

Please have respect for yourself and the lady you want to date and define your relationship.

Most men will want to play along and not commit to any relationship, incase things go bad, then they can claim they didn't ' ask you to be their girlfriend'.

Same men will cry foul when the woman cheats on them.

If you want something, be as clear as you possibly can. Don't let 'Nigeiran man sense' destroy something good.

And asking her to be your girlfriend will stop her from giving nacks to another dude? grin

Well everybody with their own style.
I used to be more of a hangout multiple times kinda guy. We go out on dates, talk, have walks, and just do things together. I ask "are you with anyone right now?" and women usually start to get the picture.
Mehn those were the days...good thing I'm a coach now and no longer a player in the game.

Wrong!
Most men don't play along for this reason, only immature boys or overgrown babies do.

Vibe with her, take her out and get to know her.
At some point you need to talk about monogamy and if you have this conversation before sex then it will make things easier for the both of you.

Understand first that playing along does not always mean having sexual relations on the down-low.

Playing along to me means just having and sustaining the friendship with a woman by spending time together. The reason serious men prefer this is because it is more assertive than the uncertainty of asking "hey, will you be my girlfriend?"

You're already treating her and acting like she is yours by doing things together (assertiveness), by the time the guy asks her questions like 'do you have anyone you're dating right now?', the tone is already set for where the friendship is headed.

It's better to ask her outrightly so you know where you stand with her.

I honestly can't think of anything more certain than asking a question outrightly and getting a response.

But I guess to each his own.

How many ladies still do "let's see how it goes" or just flow along.

Because when push turns to shove, the guy will say "did I ask you out?"

As long as you have not said anything, there's nothing. If she starts dating someone else, she's not cheating.

The former.

You don't want to find out later that she has friendzoned you or is in a r|ship w| someone else.
