Old School vs. New School

A young starlet was recently giving relationship advice to other young ladies during an interview.  She said that girls should initiate the the first date, "Pick them up and don't be shy."  She also said, "Get it together girls, take control."  Okay, so I want to hear opinions from men on this subject.  Although I'm sure that guys will have absolutely no problem with this concept.

I was always told, "Never pursue a man.  If a guy is interested in you, he'll let you know."  So I never have and I didn't suffer from not being 'asked out' or approached by men.  I've never made the first move, never made the first phone call, never paid for a meal, and never 'gone dutch' on a date (in my single days).  It worked out for me.  And I plan to to teach my girls the same thing I was taught.

So tell me, am I just Old School?  Have the times changed that much?  The way I see it, men & women are pretty much the same as they've always been and some things never change.

Let me know what you think.

  1. I don't consider myself Old School or New School. Just me. LOL I have always done the asking out. Seems like when ever I get asked out..... He is not my type. But I still go out to see if there is more than the first impression to change my mind.... Nope!

    I still get approached, asked out....etc. I am a firm believer of if you want something.... go for it. I have taught my kids the same thing. Have I made the first phone call.... sometimes but not always. Have I paid for a meal.... on occasion. Have I gone dutch..... only with friends!

    Have it worked..... Yes and No. Yes - I have had several great relationships. Plenty of great memories. No - Plenty of failed relationships. And never married.

    Will I change a thing.....NOPE! Somethings are not for everyone and to each their own!
