Thanks to our Modern Day Matchmaker, Paul Carrick Brunson, and our Ask A Brother video series, here at ESSENCE, we have a lot of opportunities to find out what men really think about dating and love.

That’s right, ladies, men fear rejection too! They’re often looking for you to clear the path to your heart, or at least to ask them out to dinner. But, are you down for that?
