I've been asked out twice by women in the past.
One was a fairly "safe" proposition.
"I'm having a small party would you like to come" was the type of approach
made.Joyce left herself an "out" by waiting for my acceptance and then
clarifying that it was a "personal" invitation [ie don't dare bring a guest]
The only other time was at an office Christmas party and it was common
knowledge in the department that I would be leaving just after New Year.
So this was a now-or-never situation .

  In both cases I accepted, I don't know how I would have handled rejecting
either advance but I have found people who can handle comnpliments gracefully
can usually get through most situations and I feel ready and able to handle
compliments(as infrequently as they come).
