How to ask someone out?

[CheerUpCharlie]

I'm actually clueless on how to do this. I guess it's not a real relationship 'til you've asked. Hmm.

A key to asking out someone your interested in (or are crushing on) is confidence. Love who you are and others will too. Look at yourself in the mirror, and praise your good qualities - if your funny or goofy, use that to your advantage.

It's a big step to ask someone out - and can be intimidating. It's best just to take a deep breath and ask them if they have any plans this weekend, or if they want to go to the local coffee shop (or some other spot to have a chat). If they say it sounds like fun -voila! If not, don't get be too hard on yourself, there's "more fish in the sea". (Yes I know it's a horrible cliche.) Some people don't like it if you ask them upfront if they want "to go out with you", which is why I suggested that you could invite them to a coffee shop.

Try flirting with them a bit before you ask them out, this is a great way to "test the waters" if your not sure what their answer will be. Give him/her a smile and pay attention to what they are saying.

You might find it easier to invite them to a group event first - get a bunch of your friends to meet at the movies and invite your crush along.

I can't think of anything other than, have fun. Don't stress yourself, just relax. Love is like a diving board - sometimes you just have to take the plunge.

Hope this helped, and goodluck.

Oh this is always kind of hard to do, but once you go for it, you've done it.

There are a LOT of ways to ask someone out. You can go from the traditional.. "So.. I've been thinking.. Would you like to go out with me sometime?" To a really cute way, like a letter saying how much you care and an invitation to do something sometime. It takes a LOT of courage to ask someone out, so always prepare yourself before-hand. Sometimes, talking previously, just about anything, can help calm you and know that this is the right time to go for it.

Always make sure you've prepared yourself for the slight chance of rejection, if this isn't the right person, then it might hurt a little, so you need to know that there's a chance, however small that you might be hurt.

Be brave, and go for it. I know you can.

Good luck, hope I helped. =)

It can be really awkward expecially if you have been acting like you have been 'together' for a little while.
Its hard trying to ask 'are we officially boyfriend/girlfriend now?'

But first I want to say just because you havent asked yet doesnt mean its not the beginning of a real relationship.

Try bringing up the subject or talking about it.
The way I did it was "so *chris* was asking me whats going on between us the other day, and i didnt really know what to say..."
Then talk about it...
And then hopefully change relationship status on facebook lol

Hey,
This is always a diffiicult position I find myself in. I'm assuming you already know this guy pretty well/you've been seeing him for a while so I would suggest just asking him when he thinks the two of you stand right now and he will give you some kind of indication as to what he thinks and if he thinks the time is right. I think then you will have somewhere to go from.
I hope things work out for you.
