Asking Someone Out Wouldn’t Kill You
May 21st, 2009
You’ve seen this happen before. She walks down the corridor, flipping her hair, which falls softly around her shoulders. She throws back her head, and her laughter sounded like chimes to you. You walk up to her, and her floral scent fills the air. She looks at you looking sheepishly back at her, mouth agape around a soundless “hello.” And just when you think you’ve seen the worst, you begin to wet your pants. It’s a bad dream. It’s déjà vu. It’s you each time you attempt to ask someone out.
It’s a rite of passage, yes, but asking someone out shouldn’t have you bleeding. It’s not that easy, but in life and love, you really have to take risks. Here’s a few how-to tips that should help you get a “yes” from the girl of your dreams, or at least give you enough courage to ask.
Before asking someone out…
* Check your motives. If you know exactly what you want, it’ll give you more focus especially in trying to come up with the right words to say.
* Be prepared for her answer. Hope for the best, but always prepare for the worst. A “no” is a bitter pill to swallow but swallow it in style. She might even realize what she’s missing.
* Be ready with the details. For girls, dressing appropriately for a date is crucial, so she would surely ask about the venue and activities if she says “yes.”
* Don’t do something crazy, like downing a couple of beers to get a confidence boost. True, alcohol lets people say the things they can’t say when they’re sober, but that includes stupid things, too.
How-to tips for getting a second date
Don’t border on the extremes, like being too casual or aggressive. Highlight your best qualities not by showing off. If you’re clueless, ask your trusted friends why they like hanging out with you. If it’s your positive outlook in life, let that show. Don’t be afraid to present yourself the way you are. Girls don’t want you trying too hard to please them by creating a false image that you can’t live up to. It’s either they’ll like you or they won’t. If you don’t get a second date, don’t be so hard on yourself. Sometimes, even if you’re the coolest guy on the planet, the chemistry just happens to be on another galaxy.
