?? Are all of the girls that you've gone out with clairvoyant? OP, don't listen to this guy, most girls will NOT ask a guy out. Just come up with an idea of something fun to do that both of you will like on a Friday night and ask her if she'd like to do that.

Ah, youth.

any idea on the OP's age EDIT... i see,...17
i remember being "asked out" when i was in middle school..... 😱

I did not think the same thing still flies. So, if he asked "do you want to be my GF" or "do you wanna go out with me?" that is basically the same thing, correct?
 
17, huh? I believe this old surefire line will still work until ~21.

"So you wanna do something sometime?"

Works every time...

17.


Way to read LOLa..
 
1) Hang out with her by yourself
2) Suggest to her you meet her at a place that is non-threatening (I suggest a coffee shop or the mall...)
3) Proceed to joke around with her and then pick up the nerve to ask her out

Sometimes the simpliest approach is the best. Coming on too strong may scare her, and making it a casual non-threatening place makes it easy on her to say yes or no (which is the best thing to do because it really comes down to her choice).

Don't be cute, be real... think something up for a date maybe later on...

QFT... Simpliest and directest approach is always the best and the most fair to the girl.

She is the type that would like that. So I need something cute that I could do..without me just going up to her and being like "yea so i like u..we should go out". Any ideas?

Have you actually been dating her or are you going to walk up out of the blue and ask her to be your girlfriend?

To me there are 5 formal stages:

1) Nothing - anything goes with other girls
2) Dating - anything goes with other girls
3) girlfirend - committed to her
4) Engaged - comitted to her
5) Marriage - anything goes with other girls 😀

Where are you?

I think they are different , your first question puts you in stage 3 of my previous psot.

The second question puts you in stage 2.

you mean "Stick out your left hand" ?

Yup.

i was wondering when someone was gonna make that reference😀

OP - just ask if she wants to make things between the two of you and no one else, or "where do she want to go w/ your relationship.." something to that effect *should* get a good answer

You probably mis-read the OP's question....he wasn't asking how to ask a girl out on a date, he asked how to ask a girl to be his gf...and like i said, if you need to ask...its probably not happening.

i don't think you ever really need to ask a girl to be your girlfriend, unless you are in middle school. Just ask the girl to go on a date with you, you are in HS now, you should be able to swing that. Things should progress after that.

Not true. Girls ask me out all the time. A lot of times they are the first to make a move too. I like it that way. Takes the pressure off me and also there is no guessing game for me. Makes it easy. There are a lot of women out there that will pursue if you dont.
 
lol.



but seriously... dont ask her that. There is a natural progression from dating to girlfriend/boyfriend status that doesnt involve asking that question.

The guy should be the first to act. Anything else sets a bad precedence in the relationship. Call me a chauvanist if you want, but most girls that I know say they like it when a guy can take the lead (NOT take control <totally different> but be the one to start things off).

Also, I knew a few girls who were very, very pushy in trying to "hang out" with me. It isn't as attractive as you think.

Horrible advice. You're lucky you don't get the business end of a sexual harrassment lawsuit if you do that.

You do understand that it was a joke, right?

7) Divorced - sob like a little girl while you try not to get screwed in court
8) Rebound - have sex in meaningless one-night stands
9) Repeat 1-8

Either she is or she isn't your girlfriend.
