Well Ms. MoneyPenny (debbie@genrad) I liked your article!  

In your article you ask for hints for asking men out, and ways of 
dropping subtle hints (is that what you were asking?).

\Well/, my advice to you would be, don't try to be subtle.
Probably the most anxiety causing thing that happens in budding 
friendship/romances/relationships is ambiguity.  Just what the hell
is that other person thinking?  

So, don't be subtle.  If I am attracted to someone, and I hear them
say things that might indicate they are interested in me, I am apt
to just consider it my wishful thinking.  Not very brave of me perhaps,
but I am generally a lot bigger and stronger than the women I know,
and some women can be really frightened by me, and some women send
out confusing mixed messages 'cause they're confused.  So, don't
be subtle.

When I advise you not to be subtle, I am not suggesting you be crude.
Just try to be direct without being demanding or challenging.

Well, the thing I find most arousing, is to have someone that I 
like, and that I am attracted to, (I have pretty catholic tastes)
let me know in a low-pressure way, that they like me, that they
are attracted to me, that they are open to sharing sex and or affection
with me, that there are no barriers to sharing sex and or affection
with me (ie no social barriers, no time constraints) and that they
will let me let them know if I am interested in taking them up on it.

I don't imagine that is that different from what women want, is it?

I wish you luck in your adventures.
