The discussion revolves around tips for someone inexperienced in asking women out, with various perspectives shared on the topic. Key points include the importance of reading signals from women, such as smiles or eye contact, to gauge interest. Participants emphasize that if a woman shows no signs of attraction, it's best to move on. There is a consensus that asking someone out should be straightforward, often starting with a simple greeting and casual conversation. The idea of "playing games" in dating is criticized, suggesting that being direct is more effective. Participants also highlight the importance of confidence and being oneself, rather than overthinking interactions. The conversation touches on the challenges of navigating dating dynamics, particularly for those who may feel insecure or inexperienced. Overall, the thread underscores the need for authenticity and the understanding that not every attempt will lead to success, encouraging a light-hearted approach to dating.

Heh, very very true. Guys underestimate how much far confidence goes. I took a hint from PF (I forgot which user posted it, I think it was in another thread) and asked a cute boy in my calculus class "So where are you taking me Friday night?" Bing! And I scored a date and a lovely Friday evening.
I believe that was Evo.

Simple stuff, guys!

Man I'd punch a girl if she said that (Not really, I am just kidding, but yah i'd punch her) to me as a response. :biggrin:

I don't know. Maybe since I'm not actually hearing it it sounds a lot worse than it really is. I've had women approach me in that fashion but because they wanted to get something out of me, not because they were at all interested in me. Even the asserive women I have dated approached me much more respectfully than to tell me I was taking them out. I suppose different people like different things though.

I know what you mean (actually I don't, but I do!).

As a response to 'Your loss' or to the first bit, out of curiosity?

You can always say 'no'. A statement isn't a binding legal agreement and I certainly didn't just march up to them and demand we go out. It was said in a playful manner and apparently I wasn't rude enough that they ran away.

Phew, between punching or getting offended at chicks who are interested in you, it's no wonder guys have woman troubles :(

I wasn't there so I can't comment on how it came off. I'm sure it can be done. Just reading it like that it seems rather pushy and rude lol.

Like I said, I have had women approach me like that (the way that I imagine it from reading it anyway) and not because they were interested in me. Some guys may find it off putting and not necessarily because they are dorks who don't know how to handle a woman or something.

But I guess if you can do it right its a good pick up line. :-)

I think its success depends on whether the person you're asking out is also interested in you already. I think if the guy has been already watching her, trying to figure out if he has a chance, and just hasn't gotten up the courage to ask yet, then that approach is likely to work well...he's going to breathe a huge sigh of relief that she saved him from having to do the asking. On the other hand, if you're just walking up to a random stranger who you think is cute, there's a good chance he's going to think you're absolutely insane.

I for one would never get mad, let alone punch a girl, for asking me out. I'd actually probably find it rather endearing. I wish girls would ask me out, it takes a lot of pressure off of me, but I guess I'm to ugly.

Exactly. The guys I used it on I knew already and had an inkling they might be interested. They did all love that I asked, and the humorous way it's asked relieved the tension. The closest I came to a rejection was a guy that I worked with at the bookstore. When I asked, his response was that he couldn't take me out Friday, he already had plans, then he asked "can we go out Saturday?

Utimately, sex is what we're talking about... isn't it? Might just be me. :)
