Nomi has indeed hit the nail on the head as far as why anyone (of any
gender/proclivity) feels uncomfortable asking someone else out:  it's hard
to face up to the (potential) rejection.  And I think most of us would agree
that it's unfair for men to have to always be expected to shoulder this
particular responsibility.  So c'mon, ladies, work up your courage and do
it!  You have nothing to lose but your fearfulness!

On the other hand, all you guys who are so longingly looking forward to the
first time a woman asks you out:  what are you going to do if it turns
out she's a real dogbreath?  Hadn't thought about that, had you?  Askees
have their uncomfortable moments, too.

One more thing:  if someone asks you out, and you want to see them again,
ASK THEM!  Clearly they have (or at least had) some interest in you, now
it's you're turn.
