NSG! How would you ask someone out?

[The Parkus Empire]

If I barely know a woman, I start by making some idle remarks, mildly flirtatious if possible, along with light complementing of things about her, like her hair, nails or earrings. Then I ask her about her interests in something: music is a sure winner. Then I get her number. Once that's achieved, asking her out is easy.

"You wanna [have dinner/see a movie/go to the museum] Friday?"

If she has given you her number, the answer is nearly always, "yes". If you had her number prior the conversation, then just go directly from small-talk to asking her out.

[Scario]

Straight-forward and a bit of romance.

U huh...

[The Fanboyists]

Hit us what you got. I want to hear it. I said I wanted to hear some good ones, in all senses.

Yeah, good ones. That's the problem. I go nerves up with so much as meeting people, it freaks me out to the point where I'm lucky if I can force a smile. I somehow doubt asking someone out on a date would result in any less frazzled nerves. Although I suppose I'd ask something along the lines of 'Do you want to go out sometime?'

Wow. That's almost exactly what I'm worried I'll end up doing.

[The Southern Dictators]

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.

WHAT ?!?

[The Southern Dictators]

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.

a raspberry ? XD

[The Southern Dictators]

A complex system involving pulleys and levers.

I won't even ask how that would work.

I AM GUNNA ASK
...how does that work o.o ?

[Maurepas]

Hey, you wanna go out some time, maybe see a movie?


It's rather generic, but, I've never been much for Pickup lines,

[WWII History Geeks]

Well, my current boyfriend did it after we flirted for about a year and found we couldn't stay away from each other (no matter how much we tried to), so finally one day he just asked me if I wanted to make it official. Good times...

how sweet *blarg*

*sticks out tongue* >:P

right back at you!

Stop flirting! Soon enough you two won't be able to stay away from each other...

That is not how it works... Don't take me for someone like that.

Really, I didn't even know I was flirting...?

It only happened the once.

As long as you got no sperm in ya your A-OK with me.

Gaaah! I am dating Berzerkirs and do not sleep around! I don't even know La-whatever-it-is-2.

Hey, i don't wanna be prego! * Though I am a male * Just....... stick with frenching or somtin...... but don't ask me ask the Easter Rabbit of Stalin.

[The Southern Dictators]

The #1 priority is to learn to play the banjo. Once that is completed, you can write a song asking the person to go to the local county fair and chili cookoff with you, in a witty rhyming songish way.

Following that, I recommend you slip somebody a $20 and get her chosen as an additional judge for the chili contest.

Note: usually, there is free beer for judges. That always helps.

After that point, I don't think you'll need any more advice, but if you do, you can ask me and Uncle Galloism will answer.

awesome

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.

if you only sort of know the person, the you should try to go out with her and her friends first, and bring your friends too. So it won't be so awkward.

Also, try to put yourself in a situation where you can talk to her/him one on one in a natural situation, like while waiting for a bus, etc.

Entirely different group of friends, who I didn't even know before this year. Kind of awkward.

The closest thing to one of her friends I know and am somewhat comfortable around is her brother, who's a teammate of mine.

I somehow doubt asking someone out on a date would result in any less frazzled nerves. Although I suppose I'd ask something along the lines of 'Do you want to go out sometime?'

I find it a better idea to ask-out chicks you just met, because then you don't feel so stupid if you're turned down. I don't ask someone I know well unless I get some pretty decent signals, such as:

"You have pretty eyes."
"Would you come over here and sit next to me?"
"I don't normally meet men like you."
"You're a cute guy."
"Would you come outside and have a smoke with me?"

Hugs are not signals. Repeatedly standing next to you isn't a signal. . .unless she doesn't know you, in which case it's a good sign. Staring at you isn't a signal, unless she diffidently looks away every time you return the glance.

None of these are signals if she has a boyfriend with her. They are, as we say in the flirt biz, "teases".

Kissing you on the mouth is the best signal, and it qualifies even if a boyfriend is present, unless the woman in question is under the influence of tipple.

How the hell do you pronounce his nation name anyway ? That's something I keep forgetting to ask

[The Parkus Empire]

It's rather generic, but, I've never been much for Pickup lines,

Pickup lines are strictly about sex, not a date (though a date can certainly involve some sex, especially if the woman is young). So unless the woman in question likes sleeping with strangers, I don't recommend their use.

I actually met Roger Moore in his role as ambassador for UNICEF - I've met a few celebrities but none turned me back into an 8-year old child humming the James Bond theme like he did,

I have a great photo somewhere but I'd need to scan it,

I am sort of jealous about that. Question is though, did you raise an eyebrow at him?

If only I could be so suave, but then that's why I'm not 007,

I knew what you meant It's chloroform. Knocks people out. Also a good solvent in some situations in lab. So I have access to plenty

[A mean old man]

Aw, please don't let this devolve into a spam thread.

[Nordicus]

"Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"

Works like a charm.
