How to Ask Out a Guy Without it Backfiring

Ever felt that it is sometimes hard to read the situation with a guy you like? It can be difficult to ask them out, but with the right guidance and a few tricks, you can get any guy to go on a date with you!

[edit] Steps

  1. Get the IM address of your guy. This is because it might be easier to ask him out over the internet, and you will have more confidence.
  2. Notice if the guy is flirting with you. It can help to have a second opinion on this from your friends. If people, including yourself, think he is, then it is time to go for it.
  3. Plan things out. If you know exactly what to say and how to say it, everything will work fine.
  4. Have a very careful approach when asking him on a date. Make it seem like hanging out when you are asking him so that you can always cover up if the plan goes wrong. However, it is crucial that you keep things light-hearted and flirty so that he can guess that you don't mean just as friends.
  5. Meet at somewhere mutual and fun (for example just grab an ice cream or something). Keep it short and quirky - that way you retain some mystery, and make him want to see you again.
  6. Try and set a date to meet again, but don't be too pushy.


[edit] Tips

  • Confidence is key - even if you're not that confident, pretend you are. This will work wonders.
  • When inviting him, keep it short and precise by asking him to hang out over Instant Messenger. Also, give him your phone number for him to call you up, and ask for his. Even if he can't make it, you will get his number, and he will certainly have yours!
  • Read the situation as well as you can. If he seems distant, it is probably not the best time to ask him.


[edit] Warnings

  • Don't be put off by one rejection- the more you ask, the more confidence you will have! Plus, you will get more dates.
  • Make sure you keep it classy and don't get a bad reputation.
  • Only date one guy at a time- no one likes to feel used.
