We talked and talked, held hands amd it was a blast. He walked me to my car and kissed me goodnight.. He texed me to make sure I got home OK. I was hoping he would ask me out again as I believe in chivalry, the guy asking the girl out. I told him via text last night about a success I had at work and he replied good, we can celebrate by you taking me out to dinner. I was just kidding and responded, isnt the guy supposed to ask the girl out to dinner. Then he said well I am going to sleep. My question is ? Wasn't that his chance to ask me out again? Maybe he is not interested? How do I proceed? Thanks so much!

Back in the old days it was. Nowadays women are equals. That means that you're allowed to do some running around too. You want to date this guy? Then ask him.

 If you like things in the traditional, old fashioned way then yes, men ask women out, pay for dinner, open doors, pull out chairs, do all the driving, make all the plans, etc. and women stay home with kids, clean the house, can never wear pants instead of a skirt, know their place, have to have dinner made when the man gets home, etc.
But these days, women hold jobs, wear pants, can vote, have some say in things around the house, and yes, even take men out to dinner once in a while.
Whatever makes you happy is the right way to be, but many men these days feel taken advantage of when they have to be the one always responsible for making plans, taking risks, and paying for everything.

 You are on this planet for a fixed number of years. I think you should do your best to make your own happiness during that time. I think this man makes you happy - for now anyway. Ring him up and ask him out to dinner, drinks, a trip on a roller coaster...whatever you can think of! He clearly likes you at least a little bit so now you have to get past that initial awkwardness of the dating rules. Life is too short for all this stuff - if you like him, ask him to dinner and if he refuses or withdraws then don't worry...you did nothing wrong!
