How would you ask someone out?

[Alexander Nicholi]

The wheels of off-topic have shifted once again.

How do you do the deed? Dirty and cheap? Professionally in hopes of more?


I'd break the ice with a stick of gum, and make conversation. If it goes somewhere, move into "do you want to hang out," if not it's ten cents wasted and no embarrassment. :P

inb4 horribly hilarious and punny one-liners, put that meat in your mouth, ayy gurl are u a ___ , dick in a box, and other lame jokes that you know are fun to read but ARE CHEAP POSTS OK DON'T DO IT

I... don't ask people out. That's way too far out of my comfort zone.

"hey, let's go have a drink of something."

Worked every time. ;)

 

[Super Skitty]

I dunno, I'm too shy. >.>

I've always just let guys come to me. lol

 

[Sonata]

"Are you doing anything later? excuse excuse wanna hang out or something?"

 

[Lucid]

You guys should be more forthwith and ask, a little flattery goes a long way.

 

[Wicked3DS]

"Would you like to go out sometime?"

 

[Meganium]

Never asked anyone out.

I get mostly "Wanna hang out sometime", "you busy this weekend?" and the most famous "Let's go grab a cup of coffee at starbucks or something."

 

[Lucid]

I mean, the closest I'd ever come to "asking someone out" is admitting that I like them or have a crush on them. What they choose to do with that is up to them because I don't want to come off weird or something by asking them out then and there. :P

Asking someone for a drink, coffee, dinner, ect, can be taken as a simple friendly interaction if you just ask casually. They probably won't make it into a big deal that way unless they like you too.

 

[Lucid]

I suppose you have a point. I still wouldn't be the person to ask first, because I'm far too shy for that. :P I'd admit my feelings for that person with honesty no problem (of course, this would only ever happen if I've known that person for a while), but....yeah. Not the type to go like "wanna grab a drink lol" because I don't want that being seen as hitting on them and I don't hit on people. >.>;;;

It can be as simple as "wanna watch blank? I have the new DVD." You'd surprise yourself. It's not aggressive or presumptuous, a simple little activity can go a long way, and when they say yes, you'll be pumped. :)

Strike some small talk over something random, compliment on how cute they look and ask them if they want to grab a coffee some time. Or eye them from a distance in a cute way (NOT creepy way ew) and see how it goes.

I don't think so Tim. You have to have some sort of redeeming physical feature first or else they'll most likely just blow you off. Most people don't want to be seen out in public with someone they don't find visually appealing because that makes them look bad. Or maybe I just grew up with a bunch of assholes.

Who the hell is Tim? Confidence and wording is key, it's not always about what you say, but how you say it.

I somewhat agree and disagree. I think it's less about the looks (I mean, of course that helps) but more about the confidence and body language. Confidence is an attractive feature and having the balls to politely ask someone out for a coffee or drink isn't unattractive in any means. Unless of course you're being a total creep about it. I'm with Lucid on this one.

Nailed it. That's what I go for in men.

I must have just grown up with a bunch of shallow assholes then.

Is that the grill dude? I must have missed this as I was busy being 7 or something.

In other words,

Honestly, you gotta have either a TON of one or a good amount of both. Looks kindle the fire (ahah)
