Maybe = No

If she really wanted to go out with you she'd say yes. If she really had a reason why she couldn't go, she'd suggest you do something else.

if she is the type of girl underground727 described, then yes, i am dead serious, because that is your best shot (but you can't let yourself get attached). if she isn't that type of girl, then just ask her to do whatever and see what happens... if she is but you want to get attached, then you are kind of screwed because you will get hurt.

Maybe means "No, but I don't want to tell you that I think you have a small wee-wee." :D

Seriously, just play it by ear. Call her up or talk to her the day before and see what's going on.

ask her out once more. the reason for this post is not to make your decision, only to see what people say. i hope.

you should ask her again. if he hesitates or says maybe again then leave it.

or if she says maybe confront her about. have something you want to invite her to. ask her if she wants to do something and if she says maybe then say "how about..."

Hey, it was a typo. You don't have to castrate me on that.

Twice?
Probably from everyone typing "pwned" all the time.

Put it this way. She has always been nice to me. Always smiles at me first in the hallways. So I know she is nice, but do you think this means nothing? If you really think it's futile, I'll ask her again tomorrow, and see what happens. If she says maybe, I guess that will mean no.

Truthfully, I think that's what it's from.

well if she is always nice to you, then yea, just do what you just said you will do. i'd add something like "or if you want to do something else...." just in case she has some irrational fear of water or something. only if she's nice tho :p

What does the maybe what imply? Like asking what else are you doing?

If you're attracted to a girl, don't say would you like to hang out with me. That implies friendship only.

a maybe implies it depends on something.
you are simply putting her on the spot to either tell you she doesn't want to go out, or give you a good reason for saying maybe.

Okay. From what I've been told, most girls like waverunners, so hopefully she does too. Worst comes to worse, my friend has a boat. The only problem with say going to a movie or something, is that I don't have a car. And I know Me + Girl + Mom (for driving) = bad.

I was told by a friend that I should try and become friends first, then build up from there.
