This article was written in response to a question I often heard women raise on college campuses: Why don't the guys ask us out?  In particular, this article was written in the context of a specificly Christian, Catholic campus, Franciscan University of Steubenville, where the question has a unique application to the context of deliberately lived faith.  Though the question provokes smiles, I think it reflect a serious social, moral and spiritual crisis.  I wrote it while working on my masters degree in theology in order to help my women friends understand how men are feeling in the situation.  It was published in Hearth: the Magazine for the Authentic Catholic Woman.  For information on Hearth contact hearthMag@AOL.COM.  I am now working as Director of Communications for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and Editor of the diocesan newspaper, the Sooner Catholic, and can be contacted at ArchdiOKC@AOL.COM
