Asking out != asking for marriage, it's asking to hang out, and maybe hang out just the two of you. It's not asking for sex, kids, a steady relationship, marriage, a house together, or even the same last names... it's just asking to chill together and see if you are compatible to be more than just "yeah, I know that guy, he hangs out sometimes at this place I go to" friends.

If the person is already taken, they'll say that they have a boy/girlfriend, but you can still chill together. No, you won't get laid from this person. What you might get is another friend.

Heh. I'm still an insecure teenager, and so are a lot of us. throw us a friggin' bone :p

If you can't get it in real life (off of the internet), then you might as well get used to dating a man (if you're a man) or a woman (if you're a woman) online. There are 1,000's of potential significant others around within a 10 block radius, if you'll just go out into the sun and meet them. Grow the nuts and walk outsite (shower first)

I just did... it was a speech like that that got me to understand what I had to do to get female friends/a girlfriend/laid on a regular basis back when I was 16 and going through the teenager thing. You want to be coddled? Go suck on your mommas teat some more. You want a woman that's not related to you to take off her clothes for you, read my above post again.

100 times.

Then read it again.

And follow it. You'll thank me 5 years from now.

EDIT: Just to make it crystal clear - there's no such thing as a pity fvck. You've gotta show something worth getting naked and sweaty for before a woman will actually do it.

Well the first thing is to see if conversation is possible. You can tell if they are trying to keep it going or let it drop.

Once you are sure conversation is mutual and they may possibly have an interest (just because someone will talk, doesn't mean they like you, even if they are laughing and having fun)...you can then ask questions which are loaded like "so where's/who's that special someone in your life?" [those corny ones] or be direct like "Are you actively dating?"

You need to have a feel for who they are to see how you ask things..if they are available they will let you know regardless of if they are dating someone else.

A reply with "...but it's nothing serious", would let you know they are interested usually and also honest. Most people will claim they are involved to let the other person down easily. Some may be involved but say they aren't because cheating is a turn-on/or they are looking for better options...whether that outcome makes you happy is another thing :).

The main thing is don't say things like "Are you sure?" or "Why does that matter?" ... you will look like a puppy dog.

If they aren't married it's fair game, heck perhaps even if they are (they could be unhappy, etc)...so get a feel for the response that's "I am not single, but very interested in you" and "I am not single, and you are about 1 day away from a restraining order."

The biggest mistake I have heard guys making is that they come up and ask for a phone number or if someone would like to go to dinner without even first getting a name, or immediately after. I am sure a lot of first date blunders could have been solved if the two people would have talked to each other a bit first before jumping into a dinner with nothing but ackwardness and silence.

This is how me and my GF got together:
1. Talked
2. Talked more often
3. "Hey wanna go do something tomorrow?"
And we just built onto that.

Also,if you're lucky:
4. "Wanna fvck?"

You must be newly married? My parents have been married for like 50 years. That conversation between them would go something like:

"Honey, you wanna go see a movie tonight?"

"Eat sh-t and die you old son-of-a-b-tch."

"Hey why don't you make an appointment to see Dr. Jack Kevorkian."

"Go to hell, I'm going to live just long enough to see you die and rejoice."

"Go f-ck yourself, you old b-tch."

Ahh yes....love is a many splendored thing.

What y'all opinion of online relationships?

If it works, great! But.. good luck. Chances are the whole thing won't pan out/long distance will get too hard/you're talking to Bob the buttsex cowboy as opposed to sexy little Tiffany.

As for the original topic.. a good way to begin asking anyone out is "Hi...etc etc" - none of that pickup line/try real hard to be cute or funny crap.

Go up to said girl and say, "Can I take you to a movie Friday night?" *

(Change day of week and target destination as appropriate.)

Yes folks, despite what a million pimply-faced geeks on ATOT would have you believe, it really is that easy.

If she says no, so what. Try again.

With practice comes confidence, and with confidence come the chicks.




* = Once the question has been asked, shut up until she answers. You won't stick your foot in your mouth if your mouth is closed.
