NSG! How would you ask someone out?

[Novograd IV]

i'm deeeeaaaaaaad aren't i?

*grins* if you run real fast you might . .. .just . . . .die tired heh heh heh

wait a second... i didn't give any real oppinion... i just gave observations on the interactions i had with females... i'm not dead! oh wait, are those pitchforks on the horizon?

[Fanaglia]

Usually you create a window in a conversation--for a recent example of one such window (which I didn't use for a variety of reasons):

Wednesday night, some event or another, girl across the table, me happy and content: "Hey, have you ever been to the New Indian?" "No--I've heard of it, though...is it good? I mean, what do they do?" "It's fantastic, they're kind of like a nicer, smaller Max & Erma's--you really ought to go sometime."

At this point, had I wanted to ask her out, I could have subbed in "you want to go sometime?" with the "you really ought to go sometime." spot.

If you can't hold a enough of a conversation to get to this point, then you're SOL, and you really ought to not ask her out.

damn. what if we can't hold any conversation with the other sex at all face to face?

Just have all of your conversations while doing it doggy style

No, they're lasers capable of emitting beams of pure anti-matter (even though that would technically make them not lasers)

[Greed and Death]

talk to her if she giggles she is interested.
If so say hey want to go get dinner and a movie.

[Glorious Freedonia]

ask her (him?) if s/he would like to hang out sometime. get to know them during that hangout. then you ask if they would like to go out on an actual date

you don't need to get to know someone that well before dating. dating is what gets you to know them before you enter into a serious relationship

Even if you get married, for goodness sakes never have a serious relationship! Only have fun relationships.

[Assassinistan]

A complex system involving pulleys and levers.

Penis?

[Karsol]

Penis?

Yes please.

1. When you go in the showers you're naked and you stand in line...go forbid one moves forward and the other don't...

2. My cousin was encouraged to smoke, that's pretty sad....they're trying to kill him.

3. There's another story... I'd rather not tell.

The trick is a balance between serious and fun…if it's only one or the other you're guaranteed to fail…

Usually, a simple conversation sparks a friendship. Not flirting . Most women will over time realize or think you are desperate by immediately flirt. Bad, bad idea my freind!

Yes, I know. I just was typing to fast now i see what went wrong.

[Flameswroth]

The key for me is to work hard to find a lead-in. Like, I can't just walk up to someone, say "Hi I'm Flameswroth. Would you like to go on a date?"

The lead-in could be almost anything though...anything that I can use to start a conversation. My favorite is to do this before like, an event or party, then sort of stay within each other's peripheral vision for the duration of the event. You don't hover or anything, do your own thing, but make sure she sees you doing it. Every so often take a moment to walk past her and say something funny or see if she's having fun. By the end of the event you've established this very friendly, yet still casual interest, and it's easy to ask if they wanna go out sometime.

[Dyakovo]

Semi-serious question here.

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

"Hi want to go to {insert appropriate date location here} with me?"

[Hogusholand]

I...I.. havent really asked a girl on a date.
However I know some great restaurants so ill use that source i guess

[The Imperial Navy]

Trust me, get to know them before you ask them out. Going with a complete stranger or badly known aquaintence will only end in cheap, meaningless sex... Wait...

...I'll be back in a bit.

(Joking.)

[Mirkana]

"Hey, you wanna go out with me some time?"

This is based on my theory that a person will not go out with you unless they are attracted to you, even on a basic "You're nice/hot/rich" evel. Hanging out with someone increases the chance that they will becoming attracted to you.

In the end, it's mostly up to them.

[Mad hatters in jeans]

I would say "hi there hows about dinner or a film?" or something similar.

Working out how to ask someone out isn't really my issue so much as who to ask. Then working up the courage(alcohol might be of some assistance here).

[Ryadn]

and how is that different from what men do to women? and have done for thousands of years?

but ignoring that, seeing as we're the ones making the decisions based on our own preferences, and we are intelligent and willful people, maybe you actually weren't impressive and this "hairy jock" is? stereotypes are bad: he may well be smarter, funnier, and an overall nicer guy.

Or he just looks like a million bucks. It seems presumptuous to expect women to not be attracted to a fucking handsome guy.

That's shallow. Since women are gentle, emotionally-driven creatures without sex drives who just want to connect on a deep level and make babies (but not enjoy it, dammit), we shouldn't be drawn to people based on something as superficial as appearance. A strong jaw and broad shoulders can't provide you companionship and emotional support, although they can provide you a long night of hot, sticky, frenzied screwing all across the apartment... what was I saying?
