Yep, if you don't ask her out, be assured that someone else will. Then you can look forward to her talking with you (her friend) about all the stuff she loves doing with her new boyfriend (which would be someone else).

If you want a chance, you have to go for it.

But, if you like hearing about the great stuff she might do with someone else, then just wait and take your time.
 
Say this: "Hi, I think you're cute. Want to go out with me at some point?"

If she asks you if other people will be there, or if she asks you who else to invite, then consider it the equivalent of "No thanks."




And then hand them to her to make it official. You may as well. Once you start dating, she'll have you by the balls. Marriage is supposed to be the same, except she has a firmer grip.

lol way to pump him up abstract :) lol

not saying it's not true... :)
 
Could be she went to rehab and doesn't want to talk about it...

Could be she has some hobbies she doesn't want anyone to know about (perhaps a nerd in prep's make-up).

Could be she has a job as a stripper.

Could be she went down on your best friend and doesn't want to talk about it.

Could be she spends the weekends with relatives, and doesn't care to get into the reason why.

Could be she lives in a controlling household and has very little personal life.

Perhaps she's only allowed to leave the house for school, and tries to act like she has a normal childhood.

Could be that there's some sort of issues at home that she doesn't want to discuss.

Could be she's just shy.

Could be she's in a book club, and spends all her time reading novels and getting together with others to discuss them.

Could be that she's responsible for all the missing people in your town.

Could mean that she has a boring life and tries to pretend it's great when she's with her friends.

Could be she spends every weekend working in the garden.

Could be she spends the weekend figuring out scientific theories.

Could be that she spent the weekend talking to aliens.

Could be that whatever it was, you don't want to know about it.

LMAO... brilliant.

And this, sadly, is too true. Speak now, or forever hold your peace. :/
 
You might as well just ask now, because if you never ask, you'll never go out with her, and if she says no, you'll never go out with her.
 
i'm gonna spend the next few weeks getting to know her better. perhaps get her to open up about weekends, even if she is an assassin, i don't care. :p i like assassins. then , after 2-3 weeks i shall make my move! muahahaha! that is my plan. now lets just hope it works.:rolleyes: well, if it doesn't worst case, i will spiral into depression, but i am not affected by death so i doubt its going to be that bad. only my own freaking mind, which i have control over is holding me back. for example, my mind has fears i have no idea about. my doctor suggests hypnosis to get rid of it.

I suggest a spellcheck and English course from the nearest teacher.
 
so the whole plan on friday didn't work out I am guessing?

dude...just do it, it aint going to make a difference 3 weeks from now. If she likes you she'll want to go out, if she doesn't then she wont. Giving it another 3 weeks is just another opportunity for another guy to swoop in.
 
well to all the guys that that said just go up to her and ask her is a little easier typed then done :p if its a girl that he really like its pretty hard and hell if none of you had any problems of just asking a girl then you got either great balls or just the girl didnt really matter for you idk because i cant even get one im scared ******** when i even think about it. Mind it im 17, i did it once and my legs literally started to shake :p its hard but eventually you will have to overcome it. GOod luck :D
 
the point of a language is to communicate.i believe i got my point across.

The point of grammar is to help people take you seriously whilst you get your point across. Not to slam on you, but in the working world you'd get fired for typos and bad grammar.

But to keep from going off track, just do it man, you don't want another guy to get in before you. All it takes is 30 seconds, you get in, you say it, then if the conversation ends with a date, it's good, if it ends in rejection, grab a soda and listen to a sad song. It's that easy.

Either way, you don't ask her, you don't get the date, you get rejected you get the date, you ask her and you might get the date or more, and it's not like you've got anything to lose?
 
All postponing it really does, is give you more time to build it up in your mind, get more nervous, and then find more reasons that you're afraid to ask.

If she says no, then you've saved a week or two of agonizing over it before she says no. Gives you your time back to perhaps find another girl you like.

If she says yes, then you're a few weeks ahead and can move on to enjoying your time with her.

If you haven't just met each other like yesterday, then she's probably already got an idea of whether she would possibly be interested in you.

But, realistically, a girl has probably already decided if you stand even a remote chance with her by the time you've seen her.

So, if she knows you're alive, then she probably already knows whether there's any way in your wildest dreams that she might possibly consider dating you.

You can either find out now, or agonize about it for a few weeks and then try to overcome the wall you build in the mean time.
 
I don't know why these girl-help-on-a-computer-forum threads always fascinate me so much...but I can never resist. :D


Look man, the 'give it a few weeks' strategy isn't going to get you anywhere. That is you avoiding and delaying the moment because you're scared. We're all scared to take the plunge the first time...the first time off the high dive, the first time skiing a black diamond, the first time skydiving, the first time at a job interview, whatever. The first time I asked a girl out (when I was 12/7th grade) I was scared as hell, but my friends pushed me to do it. Once you've done it once it's nowhere near as hard the next time. Do it now! I can't even imagine the last 8 years of my life if I had spent them being scared of girls. To be honest picking up girls is one of my favorite activities. Don't miss out!
 
Yeah dude, the longer you wait the harder it will be to ask. I don't know how you think this plan will work. I had these same plans years ago. I would say, I'm going to ask her out in a week. Then that week comes up and I get scared, so I say I will do something else to get to know her more. BUT, all I do is get more and more nervous. I find, if you like a girl, just ask her out then and there.

Heck, I would be surprised now a days if I wait more than two days to ask a girl out. Most of the girls I ask out are girls I have never met before.
 
I always make sure I am slightly intoxicated

It helps a LOT

Unless she doesn't care for drunks ;)

Beer breath is not so great for getting women. But, then I'm a Vodka man (and you'd need a closet full of any alcohol to get me drunk - crazy high tolerance).

No, calm nerves, and no weird smells will get you further. After all, who wants to date someone who approaches them smelling of Alcohol? But, then that's just me I guess.

Now, one drink, and still fully normal is fine. Anywhere near intoxicated, and the only thing I think of is one night stand (but then wouldn't because of consent questions).

Seriously, it's just better to approach any prospective mate sober. Even if you appear nervous, that's better than them thinking you might be a drunk (even if you're not).
 
How to ask a girl out.

You: Hello
Her: Hi! (maybe she is batting her eye lashes)

You: Would you like to go out sometime?
Her: _______

Whatever the blank winds up being, life goes on. But until you ask, the blank stays blank and you will never know. Live life with no regrets.

Yep... Quite true... But, most of the time, if you don't ask, the blank gets filled by someone else. Well, actually, I would change that to be "All of the time".

If you don't ask, someone else will always be there to ask her.

If you like talking to her about other guys, then don't ask. Then you can listen to her go on about this wonderful (other) guy she is dating. I know this from experience (before I got smart). I know I got really tired of hearing about all the great sex my dream girl was having with a guy I didn't like (while I was relegated to "buddy" status). I imagine you would as well. So, ask now, or just forget about it altogether.

I learned that even if you were shy, you'd best speak up soon if you want to date a girl. Best to just walk up to her, open your mouth and say something quickly that you can't back down from. Once you start, you might as well finish the sentence. Don't think, act. Walk up, start talking, and then finish what you started saying. Once you get the first few words out, you're committed, so the rest comes much easier.

+1. Ask her now!

That's hilarious! :p That describes the original poster in many of these relationship threads. They all start off with that "strategy".


Ever since kids stopped watching Looney Toons' Pepé Le Pew cartoons, they have grown up to be more timid in their approach with women. :p
