I was wondering about different ways to ask someone out on a date. It can be something really simple or something that is very elaborate. It doesn't matter just say some ideas you have about the subject.

I just get on with it by simply asking "Hey, you wanna do something together sometime?"

Usually works out.

Sorry, I can't say I have any experience there. I'm usually too shy to be the one that does the asking. Or I always manage to convince myself that a relationship with so-and-so would totally fail, and there's no way he would even had remote interest in me. So, I scare myself out of asking anyone out. xD

I've been asked before, however, and it's usual just been a simple "Do you want to -insert activity here- sometime?" Never encountered anything elaborate, but the elaborate stuff often times ends up being pretty cute. :3

RAK, you're about one advance in robotics away from dating a female version of Lt. Cmdr. Data.

I'd be a bit more specific than that. It would be more along the lines of:

"I enjoyed talking with you. Would you like to go (insert activity/place) and talk some more (insert specific day/time)?"

In my experience saying "let's do something sometime" usually ends up becoming doing nothing no time, simply because I wasn't specific.

Wow...come on guys, it's really not that bad :S
Tell her you cant help but look at her from time to time, but you know absolutely nothing about her, and then ask if she wants to have lunch or a coffee.

Or, if you wanna be cute, buy a rose (or some other dying plant) and attach a lil note to it and leave it for her somewhere. A personal favourite of mine is going up and asking what their favourite colour is, coming back a few minutes later with an origami swan or butterfly or something in the colour of their choice. XD

Thoughts anyone?

Eh, I'll probably be a little more optimistic about dating real women with real feelings when it isn't being discussed every bloody day on these forums. A lot of my pessimism derives from the fact that people seem to use this site as a dumping ground for their relationship troubles. I don't go onto the internet for that; that's a problem I want to experience in meatspace - exclusively.
Aw, bloody hell, now you're just making me feel guilty. But too bad there aren't more real-world women like the girls in the XKCD comics, eh?

Some girls would adore this.

Some would find it creepy.

Moral: Choose your womens carefully.

I've never been a fan of 'asking people out'
Just try and be friends with them, if they brush you off you don't have to experience the downer of being shot down.

I know it is a difficult thing to do and your mind starts playing the 'what if....?' trick on you. But look at it this way:

- If you do ask her out, you know directly if she could like you or not (simple as that :)).
- Regardless of the outcome, you've managed to overcome the fear of rejection, let this be a boost for your confidence.
- It doesn't have to be elaborate, just plainly ask, so you don't have to spill your guts because she took it differently.
- Unless you are planning to date a praying mantis, she doesn't bite your head off when you ask.

Good luck!
