2. Id say its best to make it part of the conversation...
not just out front asking... and if you do, make it specific, not just a general 'out'.

Like say if you are talking about movies or food, then is the time to ask?


or is that a bad idea? I need help here too

Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 07:22 PM by 101er
with a specific idea in mind rather that a general, "do you wanna go out?" "I've got two tickets for..." Or, "There's a jazz festival..." or even, "I'd love to try Dante & Luigi's - would you be interested in joining me?"

And I see that you are relatively new here, so :hi:

11. What's wrong with "Wanna go out"?
Seriously. So many times people get wrappe up in trying to be so ultra-suave that they look ridiculous. It is quite possible that she will react positively to "hey, let's go grab some coffee" or something similar.
Now, if you're looking for something flashy, how about "So when are you making me dinner?" Believe it or not, I knew a woman that liked that line when someone tried it on her.

15. Yeah yeah and I know a guy who actually thought
"do you wanna get a pizza and fuck" was a great pick up line. Of course, when it failed, his response was, "What, you don't like pizza?" :shrug:

I do like the part about just grabbing a cup of coffee and talking though - that's casual and nice and coffee goes so well with peanut butter, too.

20. Not disagreeing
I'm just saying that that line worked on that woman. I personally wouldn't bother trying it. I've always stuck with the "hey, let's go out sometime" thing, and it usually works. But I don't have peanut butter with coffee.

43. It's the "wanna" part.
Be more adult sounding and I'll go out with you once just to get to know you. Try asking us out in the daytime, and in person. Don't ask me out for a first date over the phone if you want a real date. Going out as friends is fine, but if you're serious me I'd like to see it in your eyes.

Don't drown yourself in cologne, btw. That's a good way to not only not get a second date, but to have me cut the first one very short.

Oh, and if I really like you I might ask you out first! (What can I say? Girls like sex too!) O8)

17. Be specific
Not just "wanna go out" but have a date in mind.

"I was thinking of going to see (insert name of movie here), would you like to see it too?"

"I know of a really good Italian restaurant, maybe you'd let me take you this weekend, if you're not busy?"

"I hear (insert name of mini-golf course here) is a fun course. Would you like to play a round of mini-golf with me?"

"Kerry is going to be at XXXX for a campaign rally tomorrow night. Would you like to attend with me?"


Good luck!

51. That's not surprising. . . .
. . . I see a lot of people in the deep end of the intellectual pool who like those sort of games in the bedroom.

Never really appealed to me, but then MY wife's a redhead, and more than a handful, in bed and out. . .

19. Ask her to coffee
Make sure it's mid-to-late Saturday afternoon, so if you really get to talking, you can make it dinner, and from dinner, you can have desert, and from desert, well, who knows?

Seriously, take her anywhere you two can have a good conversation. IMHO, movies and clubs suck for a first date. How do you get to know someone when you can't hear what they're saying?

Might earn someone 10-15 in a jail cell, but chance of rejection is definitely minimized.

38. You've gone way past the line between funny and sick
Why don't you tell that "joke" to a woman who has been raped at gunpoint (or knifepoint, or just flat out raped)? I'm sure she will find that absolutely hilarious - when she kicks your tiny little balls all the way to your tiny little brain.

:grr: :mad: :puke:

I understand that you were joking. In your "real life" away from the computer be a little more careful about what you say. That was just dumb.

26. Is she married or single?
When she accepts make sure you clean your car out. I went out on a date one time and the guy had a kitty litter pan in the car filled with cat poop.

Why don't you tell that joke to a man who's wife has cheated on him?

Why don't you tell that joke to the children of a divorce?

40. I'll actually give you a serious answer!
First of all, the approach that you see in the movies (walk up to random attractive woman you've never met before and ask her if she wants to go out) rarely works.

Strike up a bit of a conversation first about anything that seems appropriate. Ask if she wants to go for coffee or a drink. This gives you some time to figure out if you really want to spend time with her and vice versa. After all, you don't want to ask her out without finding out if she's a dittohead or otherwise obnoxious.

If things go well and she likes you, she might suggest something in a subtle manner, such as, "I was thinking of going to the State Fair this weekend." This is your cue to say, "Oh, I was thinking of doing that, too. Do you want to go together:" If you don't want to go to the State Fair, say, "Oh, that sounds like fun, but I've got two tickets to see a rugby game. Would you like to come along?" If you ignore that cue, she will assume that you are not interested.

If she doesn't suggest something, then you can casually mention those two tickets for the rugby game (or whatever you have in mind. It is better to have something in mind). If she says she's busy and adds nothing, that's probably a "no." Suggest some other time. If she's still "busy," then that's really a "no.'

If she's really busy but wants to go out with you, she'll probably suggest something else. "You know, I'm busy then, but I could meet you for dinner afterward" or "Is there another rugby game next week?"

47. good advice!
men never notice the cues women give them. A woman who is interested will most likely create the first move. It's up to you to notice and act on it.

53. I think so!
Rule number one is, "Men shouldn't get advice about women from other men. Women shouldn't get advice about men from other women. Neither gender really understands the other."

Some of the best advice I ever got about men came from my brothers and from the husband of a female friend.

It's terrific because neither of you have to look each other in the eyes and I imagine it must be a wonderful feeling to be rejected in AOL-speak

49. Depends. . .
. . .I met my wife on the net.

Then again she was doing an article on "online dating", and I had just gone through a REALLY nasty dumping by a woman. . .

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. . .

I've got a friend, who met a guy online in a forum kinda like here, on another topic (and no, I don't know what the topic was. . .), they've been emailing and phoning back and forth since May. . .and they finally meet face-to-face tomorrow.

I'm pulling for them. . .

46. would you like to go get __________?
coffee, ice cream,lunch, dinner, drinks are all acceptable. Is the woman someone you already know? if so, you might want to make it clear that you are asking her on a date. You can subtly add "my treat" to the end.
