NSG! How would you ask someone out?

[The Fanboyists]

Semi-serious question here.

How would you ask someone out, if you only sort of know them?

Or any other way for that matter.

I posted something similar to this on the Jolt General Forum way back when. I want to see what this generates this time. Like I said, legit answers, not-so-legit answers, and everything in between are welcome.

...why would you ask out someone whom you barely know? Love at first site almost never happens in real life.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I would get to know them better before actually asking them out.

Or...

You can tell them: Hey baby, how 'bout we knock boots?

Or, in the event that fails, I have other tactics up my sleeve.

[Thethunderdome]

That's the back up plan tho. Just be like hey like let's go to the zoo Saturday. The important thing is to have a plan and ask with confidence.

[The Fanboyists]

I said sort of know. Not complete stranger. I just mean not like "my BFF Jill" or whatever.

[A mean old man]

I'd shuffle my way up to the girl, fidgeting, looking at the ground, twitching my eyelid once in a while, stop in frong of her, stand there silently, stare into her face, breathe heavily, contort my mouth into strange shapes a few times, blow a raspberry, then finally scream "HEY LET'S GO TO A MOVIE OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!"

Then I'd walk off. I'd be sure to look over my shoulder a few times with wide, twitchy eyes. Maybe I'd break into a run at some point.

"Hey, I have some tickets to the hockey game Friday. You want to come?"
"Want to go grab some coffee later tonight?"
"You're cute...let's boink."

[Katganistan]

"Hey, want to grab a cup of coffee sometime?"
"This movie sounds like fun -- want to come see it with me?"

Just start a short conversation about something random nearby, something that's currently interesting about your own life, or something that he/she might be interested in. If he/she doesn't show signs of being annoyed or bored, suggest to continue the conversation somewhere else (preferably a relatively public space).

[Lockswania]

At the end of a conversation,"We should hang out sometime."
Odds are, they will ask YOU out.

It has worked for me. And I didn't even try to do that on purpose.

Interpersonal relationships are immoral.

But, if immorality is what you're aiming for. Wait for rain. That seems to happen in romantic scenes in movies.

I won't even ask how that would work.

Or try the cogs and pulley system.

[Kaputer]

Say "Baby we are going to go have fun and your not going to say no."
If she says no slap her several times

[Natapoc]

Hay [insert name here], would you be interested in lunch/dinner at [insert name of place you want to go] [circle one: tonight, tomorow night, [some specific date in the near future]]?

If lunch it will be a short date. If dinner it will be a longer one. Plan accordingly.

You forgot staring at their chin. You should always stare at people's chin.

^this.

Although I don't think I'll be doing that for a long while.

Like I said, I have a feeling I don't even want the details on how that would work. (HINT HINT *MANIACAL CACKLING*!)

Rape!

Not a great idea. This is the sort of girl that will hit back. Repeatedly and hard. With something heavy in hand.

GIVE HER A HUG!!!!

[The Fanboyists]

C'mon people, let's have some funny ones! That was half the point! We've only got a couple of those, so far.

[HunterBradleyLand]

Hold a gun up to her head and ask. That always seems to work for me.

But in all seriousness, I would go up to her, give her a compliment, and then ask.
