How you asked her out

StrugglingSoul

Anyone care on sharing any stories of how you asked ladies out over the years? ones that went wrong would be interesting too. Here's mine

Once walked into a hair salon intending to swoop a girl who worked there off her feet. I remember walking towards the salon several times and then folding, because I didn't know how I'd pull it off. Eventually I worked up the courage and walked in. I then saw her, and she wasn't looking at me and I got so scared. Because she hadn't yet seen me, I thought to myself.. 'you can leave now because she won't have seen you'. We had very short awkward chit chat. She said she was busy and went upstairs. I remember telling myself, 'don't leave/give up so easily', which of course made the situation worse. I was then asked to leave

Did you feel like ****ting yourself?

Will I read it in the paper tomorrow?

It was love at first sight, I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Then she closed the curtains.

Amateur! You're supposed to get your friend to go over to the other side of the room and ask her for you. They can point you out if s/he has no idea who you are.

Are you trying to be ironic. One should be man enough to ask himself

don't get what

The King of Moo

The direct approach usually works for me.

Five years ago I walked into a cocktail bar, and as soon as I saw the waitress I knew she was the one for me.

So I just walked up, picked her out, shook her up and turned her around, right there and then.
In fact, you might even say I turned her into something new.

Now, she's got the world at her feet, success has been so easy for her. I just hope she doesn't forget that it was me who put her where she is now.
She says she doesn't need me, but I don't believe her.

I met my wife in a club by lurching drunkenly towards her, doing a spastic St Vitus Dance-style boogie and kissing her.

And amazingly, it worked.

Wacker The Attacker

A girl emigrated to Melbourne shortly after I asked her out.

Timing was a little off as usual

cgarrad

Just ask, a simple no is usually the worst you will get. (If she give more note it as a lucky escape)

Well worth the risk for a yes ;-)

Rigol

Like dude in the wire.
Send your over acting drunken friend over to make a pass at her.
Then you White Knight.

Is there more or less stigma attached with dating someone from an internet forum rather than a dating site.

I figure both are better than "we met line dancing".

The best way to chat up hairdressers is to ask them

"Do you do pubes?"

By text. It was so romantic.

Neither did the OP by the sound of it.

Reloc8

I met my wife by studying very hard to get into a good college course and then meeting her on it. Then drink.

qz

I gave her the very drunken glazed over eyes while out one night, asked if she wanted to do something during the week and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Got her number, but I was so drunk that I had no memory of what she looked like when I woke up so I went effectively on a blind date a few days later and hoped for the best.

7 months later and she is hands down the best girlfriend I've ever had.

Everything went better than expected.

Spiritual

I asked her to come with me to Tesco to look at a Television.

I told you yesterday: RELAX! You reek of desperation, need and want!

Relax, smile, say hi! That is all there to it. It sounds easy and seems hard, but if you can just relax, it is. You just have to do the above, get the conversation started, ask her to lunch, dinner, drink, something anything, then it is done. The ball is in her court, pressure on her, off you.

Just relax, smile, say hi, and ask! She may say no, but at least you tried. Try again, or get over it and move on. But whatever you do, at least try.

If you can't relax, and thus make her feel relaxed, forget about it.

Relax, smile, talk.

One of my exes met me through mutual friends, on a night out. Drunkenly tried to kiss me, I pushed him away because I didn't want to kiss someone who tasted of Guinness. Got my number from a mate, texted me asking could he buy me a coffee to apologise, accidentally knocked my coffee into my lap, offered to let me go back to his to take my soaking jeans off, I laughed so hard that I had to accept it when he asked me to go on another date.

Another guy pretty much stalked me for a night. Got my number from his cousin (my best friend). I spent 4 years avoiding him. Got REALLY drunk one night and told him to come hang out with me and my friends. He kissed me, eventually asked me out and I dumped him shortly after.

Only time I've asked someone out, I didn't even really ask him. We'd gone on a few dates (after meeting when he asked for directions!), and were on a night out with his friends, who all decided I was the best thing since crotchless thongs. After about 200 euro worth of alcohol, I swanned up to him and said 'Are you bloody asking me out or what?' His gay friend then kissed me and laughingly informed me it was to convince him that if I can even turn gay men straight, he needs to ask me out NOW to avoid losing me. We dated for a few years. :pac:

Dravokivich

Didn't really exactly ask her out. She tracked me down on facebook, went a little something like this:

Drav:
Stalking me on Facebook now as well eh ;P
Drav's moth:
Ooooh my first poke! :O I feel violated!
Drav:
hmmm, imma violate you something friece now so

..and I did.

Are you Irish?


Would you like some in you?

fonecrusher1

In a jokey (yet serious (i actually did really like her)) sort of way I said: Would you like to go out on a date some time? I was about to say the likes of ah yeah sure look no bother etc etc when she actually said yeah ok.:eek: In my head I was saying to myself - now hold on a second that wasn't supposed to happen, what the flip is going on here....

Yeah its a bit goofy saying the above 'date' line but its actually very straight forward and to the point. Its not like your asking the other person to marry you, tiz just a date.

Always helps if you have a few beers drunk beforehand.:pac:

I don't remember ever 'asking a girl out', in a big formal way. I think if you like each other, and you have a bit of balls in making A become B, those circumstances have a way of sorting themselves out. So, by the time I've actually gotten around to ask a girl out, I knew it'd be a yes because there was already something there. There wasn't any real doubt, it was more just making plans and connecting the dots.

I dunno, personally I think that if there's a big 'occasion' about it, it's generally down to either desperation or lack of ideas. You either don't know how to get there without the song and dance, or you know she's not that into you deep down and need to hear it to move on with your life. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I can't see this ending well...

I don't think he mentioned the word love. Now you've made it awkward.

Especially since they're both boards users. Now they'll have to both pretend they never saw this thread.

Thanks god you didn't mention marriage or kids. Then it'd be three horrible conversations they'd be having tonight



Ooops.

OneArt

I just went up to her and asked her politely.

She wouldn't budge. I had to call the police to remove her from my home.

If someone said that to me, I'd think that they're a creep wanting to 'punish' me or something.










Not that I'm averse to some punishment from the right person. :pac:

First you ask her is she doing anything on Friday night. If she says no then quick as a flash you ask her out. If she says no you hit her with the 'you just said you weren't doing anything' line. If, when you ask, she says she has plans then you let it go. She's obviously onto you. So, you bide your time, keep asking, eventually she'll think you're not actually into her and you're just a friendly guy. Then, one day she lets her guard down and says she doesn't have plans. BAM! You go back to step 1, and you've got yourself a date. It might take years, but it works.

Handed my girlfriend to be an empty glass and then I took her friend's camera, which got lost.

Saw a rainbow flag on a wall, then said 'ah a gay pride flag', and then asked her out.
