How do you: Ask people out?

[Sleekgiant]

Speaking of escapes.....how did you get out of my basement again?

You left the door unlocked.

Yeah, I was surprised too.

This does not please me

 

[Shock and Awe]

Me: Hey *Girl Name Here*!
Girl: Hey!
Me: Hey, you wanna go out sometime?
Girl: You mean like a date?
Me: Do you want it to be?

After that it can go anywhere, but that right there is always a good set up. Just invite her to a movie, or a carnival, something along those lines. Something informal that is fun regardless if you have any romance going. From my experience a school dance is not the place to start out, but that may be because I don't dance.

I used a note.

And then she was a crazy ***** and I cancelled.

And now shes an even crazier *****..

And I'm scared.

Spoiler: Sounds like you have a problem

OT: I talk to the girl and just talk about what she does, explaining what I do, what my favorite hobbies are, etc. Not invasive just curious. If there is interest, I ask if she wants to hang out. If there is none at all, I just continue the conversation until I have an reason to leave. (Unless she's being really judgmental. If that happens I just turn away or leave.)

Being a student and a huge commuter my only time to flirt is on the bus.

Don't worry, I locked the door behind me. Your other victims are still down there.

Welcome to the land of the free!

Oh goodie, but I don't say "victims", doesn't do good for morale.

Well, I saw this in a movie once but I'm thinking about trying it out...

In all seriousness, never actually asked a girl out, I'm pretty hopeless. When I find that right moment, I'd probably be straight forward and just ask if she wanted to see a movie or something.

My pickup line is "Hi." Best one ever. As for the actual question, I don't say "do you want to ..." I say "we should ..." Keep it casual.

 

[bassdrum]

I still haven't really worked out a specific strategy that I stick with, but it often revolves around asking a girl what she's up to over the next few days, before asking if I could occupy any of her free time in some manner or another. Pretty standard.

 

[Sacman]

Hell, if I know... I've only ever legitimately asked out one girl before... I got turned down, of course...<.<

Best method: Arrow with note attached. (Hit with medieval ladies)

Worst method: Nuke with note attached. (Hit with no ladies; may hit all of the ladies)

True story.

To be honest, they've formed a culture. They like being called victims. I think the idea that they're all victims and therefore in it together really bonds them as a group. Unfortunately, it's spoiled somewhat by the whole 'cannibalism' thing.

They started eating each other! Oh noes

 

[Sleekgiant]

They started eating each other! Oh noes

Yeah, it's quite depressing. They went for the children first. So much lost youth..

Guess I need to let them go then....or kill them off.

 

[Sleekgiant]

see fit.

Well I decided to end it all, pumped a deadly gas in there. There was some scraping at the door but it finally stopped, better burn this place down so no one finds them though.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Threaten any of their pets. Gets 'em every time.

In all seriousness, I do what any socially well adjusted man does: Stumble around the issue for a few minutes with small talk and a long improvised speech, then finally pose the question. Surprisingly enough, works each time, though that might have something to do with the women that I tend to fancy liking some awkwardness. >///<

 

[General_Potatoes]

Hey, wana go see a movie?

There you go.

Oh, I think I know how this goes.

Like this yes?

Better not be like that or else screw dating. Nah just do what Barney Stinson does.

 

[fgdfgdgd]

Hello, wanna go out for coffee one of this days?

If she says yes:
- Cool, is tomorrow (X time) good for you?

If she says no:
- SCREW YOU

Eh, if you want to mess with them, like, I, in my more misanthropic days did, you just go Van Damme (See: Jean-Claude Van Damme, See: Emotionless) and say with a straight face and cold dead tone: "You will die alone." then walk away. You have no idea how much that messes with peoples heads. >.> I was a troubled kid, okay, this amused me back then.

Usually, I'm no good at speaking to girls I don't know in person, so I write notes, or ask on the phone.

Girls I do get to know, however, say I am charming, and most girls I have been in relationships with have been friends for quite some time.
