How to Ask Someone on a Date
Whether the other person is interested or
not, you'll never know unless you ask.
So gather up all your courage and follow these steps.
Instructions
- STEP 1:
Introduce yourself to that person you've been admiring from afar.
- STEP 2:
Get the person's telephone number, or tell a common friend you would
like the number.
- STEP 3:
Call. Choose a time that is not intrusive. Call when you are
comfortable doing so, regardless of what your friends might say about
the right time to call.
- STEP 4:
Reintroduce yourself once you're on the phone by saying something like,
"Hey, it's Shirley. We met at the drag strip."
- STEP 5:
Using as little pretense as possible (ideally none), ask
the person if he or she would like to get together for a cup of coffee
or do something similarly casual. If you are politely refused, take the
hint and get off the phone.
- STEP 6:
Meet casually for a brief time - half an hour or so. If that goes well,
suggest a more formal date,
such as lunch.
- STEP 7:
Go on the more formal date.
Tips & Warnings
- Besides getting a cup of coffee, some of
the best ideas for a date
are the things you love to do the most, such as going to an art museum
or getting muddy on a mountain bike ride. This gives the other person a
chance to get to know more about your personality.
- Humor is often the best remedy for
rejection. Congratulate yourself for trying and move on.
- Going to see a movie is not a very good
idea for a date;
it shows a lack of creativity and does not allow the two of you to
spend much time talking.
