I ALWAYS wait for them to ask me out but they NEVER do. I was taught it was misogyny to "sexually harass" women by telling them they were beautiful and asking if they want to go on a date. Oh also when I tried asking directly in school as a kid every single time they would say they had a boyfriend. And then you'd find out they didn't actually.
@grumpy I think the first thing I should do is make my house clean and not disgusting with spilled goo on the counters
