Ask A Girl Out

So you have a girl in mind that you would like to ask out on a date. That can be quite a daunting prospect for a lot of people. However it really does not have to be that difficult. This hub has some simple tips on how to ask a girl out.

1. Prepare yourself. Know what you are asking her to do and when, and have a couple of backup options. Expect a yes, but prepare yourself for a no.

2. Approach the girl you like. Be straightforward, nice and treat her with respect. Approach her confidently with a smile and your head held up.

3. Engage her in friendly conversation and get to know her a little first. Tell her your name, compliment her and ask her name.

4. Ask her specific questions. Find out what her interests are and expand on any you share with her.

5. Gauge her interest by using verbal and nonverbal queues. If she is averting her eyes or looking for her friends while not responding well to questions, cut your losses and walk away. However if she is actively engaged in the conversation, you're ready for Step 6.

6. Ease into your invitation. After talking for a few minutes, ask something like, "I was thinking of going (somewhere) next weekend, would you like to tag along?" Be specific in your activity and be ready with an alternative activity and date if she says "Some other time, maybe."

7. Set the date and get her contact information. Follow up with her before the date to verify time and details such as if you will pick her up or meet her there. Have fun!
