Escapist how does this sound?

[RocksW]

I was going to ask out a girl in my year over facebook. I know i could do it face to face but id be nervous... Besides actually finding something to approach her with is hard enough... Shes only in two of my classes and doesnt sit near me. Thought I might give it a go anyway though. Could you guys proof read this and tell me what you think?

hey georgina, I know this is a bit random, I dont suppose youd be interested in grabbing a coffee after school sometime? No worries if not. cheers, kevin

Good? Bad?

(Georgina isnt her real name btw.)

 

[Legendary Alucard]

Hmmm... I dunno..

 

[Jedoro]

Too many words.

"Hey Georgina, wanna grab a coffee after school sometime?"

 

[Marter]

Yeah, don't do it over Facebook. Do it in real life. She'll be more likely to accept, as you show that you have some confidence.

As for what you did type, (if you go through with it), 'hey' needs to be capitalized, 'dont' needs an apostrophe, 'cheers' needs to be capitalized, and so does your name.

 

[tomtom94]

Do it in real life, there is no substitute.

 

[JWRosser]

Are you doing it over IM or a message? If you must do it over Facebook (in person is better) then don't do a message - do it over IM. At least that's got immediate response.

Maybe replace "coffee" with "drink"...I don't know. She might think you are proposing you go back to your place for some "hawt coffee", which is a little too forward.

 

[WanderingBiscuits]

You shouldn't really say "i know this is a bit random" It makes it sound like you are unsure of whether to ask or not. Just say "Hey georgina, Do you wanna grab some coffee with me after school some time?" and then a smiley face.:]. The smiley face is the clincher.

Or not forward enough. When I ask a girl out I always wear my best gimp suit.

OT: Cut it down and do it in real life. Sure you'll be nervous but it makes a better impression. Facebook is only for distance or if you really don't see her often. Get her as you leave a lesson or something.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Have you talked to her before? If so, do it in person, you pansy (I say these things to MOTIVATE YOU, not insult you).

Haven't talked to her before? Well... what in the hell are you waiting for?

 

[Best of the 3]

Although it is easier to ask people out over the internet it is also easier to turn them down without feeling bad about it. I'd try to do it in real life if possible. That's my advice anyway.

 

[nunqual]

Over facebook isn't bad, it's how my relationship started, and it's going wonderfully. As for the content of your message, you don't sound confident at all. Be assertive. 'Hey, wanna get some coffee after school?'

 

[Brutal Peanut]

I'll have to agree with asking her out in real life. It'll show a lot more confidence in yourself, but try not to sound too pretentious and arrogant; like she should be so lucky to have a coffee with you. Just ask her out. The worst thing that could happen is, she simply says "No." Then what? Nothing. Better luck next time.

If she makes a big deal out of saying "No", such as laughing or acting as if you had no chance, you are better off not having gone out with her in the first place; and should be grateful she made an arrogant jerk out of herself.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

Have you talked to her before? If so, do it in person, you pansy (I say these things to MOTIVATE YOU, not insult you).

Haven't talked to her before? Well... what in the hell are you waiting for?

I'd say this except I'd change the motivate part to insult.

First of all, you want to use proper grammar. Here, let me fix it for you. "Hey, Georgina. I know this might be a tad unexpected, but would you be interested in grabbing a coffee sometime after school. No worries if you can't. Cheers, Kevin." (By the way, "random" should never be used in that way. Human actions aren't random; they almost always have a basis and a reason.)
Anyway, I would advise just going ahead with it. Try not to play it up too much, or just go out as friends. I'm sure she'll see what a cool guy you are once she gets to know you. And if she says no, it's not the end of the world. There are more than 3 billion girls in the world, this particular one shouldn't be causing you so much stress.
Hope this helps.

 

[TilMorrow]

In person, not over facebook, Don't rush yourself when talking, be polite when talking annnddd don't use the word random, use random and your definitely screwed.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

In person, and don't rehearse it just go with your gut (well as long as your gut isn't saying something like "Nice boots... wanna fuck?")

Too many words.

"Hey Georgina, wanna grab a coffee after school sometime?"

Go with this, but do it in real life. Just remain calm and focus on each word you say.

 

[iLikeHippos]

Make her familiar with yourself, than ask her out in real life. After all, how are you going to talk to her eventually if you can't?

NO TEXTING!

You forgot the question mark.

I'd say do it in real life. You'll have to get over the nerves of talking to her face to face at some point, may as well try it with the thing that will make you most nervous: asking her out.
