How to Ask Someone Out on a Date

By

You have been hesitating, but now you have decided you must act. You are going to ask that special someone out on a date. But your not sure how to do it. Relax, there are many ways of asking someone for a date. It is not a difficult thing to do.

Here are some easy tips for you to read over and use when you finally ask your favorite person to go on a date with you. The most important thing for you to remember is that your only asking them to go out and have some fun. It is not a proposal of marriage, so just relax.

Be prepared for that person to say no. Of course you hope they don't, but it can happen. If it does just accept the fact that your timing isn't quite right.

It is always a good idea to practice a little. Plan what you want to say, and repeat it to yourself several times. This way, when you do ask, it will come out naturally and not sound like it is a difficut thing for you to do.

Know where you want to take that person, and what you want to do. It will be easier to ask if they would like to go to dinner and a movie, than just to go out. Give them an idea of what you have planned.

If the perosn asks why you are asking her out, tell her. You don't need some sleek, cool response. Tell him or her the truth. You think they are an attractive and interesting person and would like to get to know them better. If you try to use flattery and cool lines, they will know that these comments are not sincere. Just say what you feel.

Of course you should never pressure anyone to go on a date with you. This will not have a good outcome, so don't even think about it. If they say no accept it with dignity and grace.

Never stand a person up. If you ask someone to go out with you and they accept, make sure you are there on time. Don't be a jerk and decide not to show up. If some kind of an emergency comes up make sure to call the person and explain to them whatever the problem is.

If you are nervous, practice your speech. Don't do anything foolish, like having a couple drinks for courage. This will make you seem like a lush to that special person, and that is the last thing you want to happen. Just relax, go over your speech, and try to feel confident.

The whole point of going on a date is to have some fun, so keep focused on that and you should do just fine.
