I can't say a lot of women have asked me out on formal dates, but a few including my longtime girlfriend did. However they haven't been shy about trying to initiate other things either verbally or physically. Which quite frankly in most circumstances I don't tend to appreciate. There are a number of women I dread traveling with for work because that seems to be when they get their courage up.

So much of the complex interpersonal dynamic stuff that is posted around here just baffles me because I have just never seen this stuff come up in real life.
