Tip #8: Asking Her Out

So, now that we've established that women should never ask men out--now what?

Well. Here is a sad truth: most men have no clue as to how to ask a woman on a date.

Here is an example of a guy asking a girl on a date:

Clueless guy: Hey, you free during the weekend at all?
Girl: Uhhh...


This is clearly a failing way to ask a girl out. The guy is being way too vague. And "vague" is not the message you want to send, I'm pretty sure. Not if you mean it about this girl.

Clueless guy: Hey, do you want to go out with me sometime?
Girl: Uhh....


This is also a failing way to ask a girl out. If she doesn't want to go out with you, what is she supposed to say? Awkward!


The correct way to ask a girl out has a very specific format.


NECESSARY ELEMENTS IN ASKING A GIRL OUT
-the date
-the time
-the activity
-at least some sort of signal clarifying that it is, in fact, a date

So, here is an example of the proper way to do it:

Guy: Hey! Sarah, if you're free this Friday, I was wondering if you'd like to come ice skating with me at around 7 o'clock.

Here is another example:

Guy: Elizabeth, would you like to come with me to the opera on Saturday? It starts at 8, so we'd probably want to leave around 5, and I'd like to take you out to dinner, too. You in?

And another:

Guy: Lisa, I just got tickets to the ballet showing this Friday night at 7:30. Would you like to come with me?


These are good examples because they include the time, date, and activity, and any girl who couldn't tell those were dates would be crazy.

Guys: PLEASE learn how to ask girls out! Practice these techniques! They are important!
